Rating: 4.5/5
This is a lovely story of love and forgiveness in a fraught second chance romance involving a couple who had been engaged till his one night stand ex turned up pregnant. He did the ‘honourable’ thing (!?!?!) and married the mother-to-be breaking her heart. They haven’t seen each other for six years….
Finn Scott has moved to Marietta, having inherited a dilapidated, run down ranch which belonged to his friend and mentor and he’s not alone. He’s brought with him his adorable five year old twins, Cutter and Caylee, only to find out that his ex-wife is now contesting custody, wanting to take the twins she hasn’t even attempted to see from him over to live in Hong Kong. Not only that but the judge they’ll be seeing always seems to prefer to give custody to the mother . . .
When Finn and Kate first meet again, it is following a playground accident in which Cutter was injured. The attraction is there, as strong as ever, for both of them but she’s wary of having her heart broken again. Despite this, she eventually suggests they marry to give him a better chance of keeping the children - but this is to be a marriage of convenience which they will annul once things are sorted. However, with family life feeling so right, their mutual attraction so strong, maybe their best laid plans could go so wrong - or so right?
This is the fourth and final book in this delightful series. As in all the books, it has robust, strong characters, plenty of trauma and drama and, of course, the Marietta Rodeo and people. It can be read as a standalone but the whole series is fantastic, so if you like cowboy romances, check them all out. This is a great addition to the series and I have no hesitation in highly recommending it.
Thanks to the author, publishers and NetGalley, too for provided an ARC for me to read in exchange for this, my honest review.
