This was a super fun second chance high school romance. When Gina returned to her hometown to help with the family restaurant, the last thing she expected to find was an injured dog and then to get kidnapped. The last person she expected to have rescue her was Isaac Quinn, the boy she loved in high school who snubbed her.
Isaac did not expect to have to save Gina from a kidnapping attempting the moment he drove back into his hometown of Gunnar Texas. He was summoned by his father and wanted to put off the inevitable, so he decided to stay and protect Gina and her baby girl, Everly. Gina was the one who got away, but Isaac soon learned that Des, his friend, and Everly's father, stole Gina out from under him in high school, only to treat her poorly in their marriage. Isaac didn't want to speak poorly of the dead, but he knew Gina deserved better.
The investigation to find Brittany's killer and Gina's kidnapper was twisted and filled with secrets of a small town. The mystery was wrapped up nicely, and you got a chance to meet some of Isaac's brothers but you do not get to find out why T.J. called all 7 boys to the ranch. I was kind of bummed by that, but it will keep you reading the series to find out. I suspect I know, but I can't be sure until I keep reading! If you love an intrigue style romance then you'll love Texas Cowboy's Protection.
