Well, he needed to think again . . .

4.5 stars.
Link might be my favorite Daddy of this series.
He has such a sweet, silly, playfulness to him. It’s extremely charming.
He’s also up there with most protective of them.
I loved this, and I loved rereading it.
I just can’t get over how well this author portrays mental health and active consent and a healthy power exchange dynamic. Plus with this one we got to see a character with type one Diabetes. Though I don’t have much experience with that, I thought it was handled throughout the book beautifully.
She always knows how to have her characters show support and concern without making it feel like they’re being condescending or controlling. It’s so refreshing.
This was one of, it not the, longest book of the series and none of that was wasted space.
And that ending!
So fucking sweet and satisfying.
I always feel like I come out of my reading haze ready to swoon when I read anything by this author.
Just so sweet, and sexy.

Forgot how much I love Linc.
He’s such a goofball sometimes, it’s adorable.

Another LR favorite to add to my top shelf!
Linc and his Mari-girl are in for a cute slightly bumpy ride to their very own HEA, Daddy and Little style!
🖤 ~ My Thoughts ~ 🖤
Since laying eyes on each other, Mari and Linc are drawn together and things quickly develop between them. But Mari's awful aunt and her dangerous association to the Devil's Sinners MC puts Mari in danger. And when Linc finds out his girl is in big trouble, there is no way he can stop his protective daddy instincts from taking over.
Being whisked away to Sanctuary Ranch and accepting Linc's old fashion love and discipline turns Mari's world around for the better. For the first time, she knows what it is to be loved and cared for and what it means to trust someone completely. Its a hard transition for a girl used to being on her own and having no one to rely on.
I loved Linc, he had his high handed moments but his love and affection for Mari always shown through. Mari was my favorite though. She was a total sweetheart and her issues were relatable and realistic. She deserved her own Daddy in shining armor and Linc was that plus some :) LR has a knack for pulling at your heartstrings and after reading about Mari's past, I was rooting for her and Linc desperately :)
This was adorable, which I was expecting because *cough* Laylah Roberts *cough* but it was also surprisingly steamy! Like these two do some slow burn sensual awakening/exploring that was off the charts hawt!!! I was not expecting that but I was a huge fan!
This is part of the Montana Daddies series but can be read as a stand alone. Highly recommend! The age play is always consensual, the pacing flawless with open communication and great chemistry that was on point!
Contains:
Ages: Mari is 23 and Linc is in his mid-late 30s(?)
Heat Level: 5/5 HOT!!!
Personal Notes:
Interest has been piqued for the town Sheriff, Ed and bratty Kiesha :)
Zander and his mystery group of mercenaries? Yes, Please!
Memorable Moments:
I went all gooey when Doc listed off all the special band-aides he had for his girls! *sigh* He might be gruff and with a persistent frown on his face, but Doc is one of my favorite characters!
Every time Linc called Mari his princess or baby! My heart squeezed right along Mari's.

She had to admit, she kind of liked this dominant, bossy side of him. She wouldn't want it all the time. Sometimes she needed softness. But she liked knowing that someone cared whether she was hurt or not.

It was like she'd entered some alternate reality. Where she was no longer a boring bookworm and she'd become someone to be treasured and desired.

"... I'd likely have been happier. Taken care of. Loved."
"I know, Mari-girl."
"But I wouldn't have met you," she whispered. "And if going through all of that pain means that I get you at the end, then it's worth it to me. You're worth that to me."

Beautician Marisol meets ranch manager Linc when she's called to Sanctuary to give the Littles mani/pedis (this scene occurs in Dirty Daddies: 2020 Anniversary Anthology, but is repeated here). The two hit it off immediately and begin seeing each other. Soon, Linc discovers that she's being threatened by her aunt's mobster friends. The rest of the book details their growing DD/lg relationship (stuffies, onesies, glitter, bottles, no diapers) as he tries to keep her safe. Always-welcome characters from other books in the series do appear, but the MC's relationship is a stand-alone (though it does start in medias res, which might be confusing). Side Note: Love the self-reflexive shout-out to CJ Bennett and Beta reads!
If you're looking for a Cinderella-esque DD/lg story that's consensual, nicely detailed, and not too harsh, you'll probably enjoy this. It contains all of Ms. Roberts' strengths, including a very likeable h given to humorous internal monologues, believable dialogue, the camaraderie among the Littles, and an H laser-focused on his h. TBH, Linc was a little too over-protective for my tastes (though here I suspect the author is "making up" for what some saw as a less attentive Daddy Dom in her last book). While I like DD/lg, I prefer it when the couple at least has the occasional adult conversation, and I felt that by the end the dynamic had overtaken the relationship.
I'll also add that the book contains all of Ms. Roberts' weaknesses, including a narrative that turns increasingly episodic; OTT villains who might as well be twirling mustaches; and tons of repetition (one important event involving Mari is both enacted and told to us). Ms. Roberts does work with an editor -- a fellow erotic author -- who I've long thought does her no favors.
I do, however, appreciate the ethnic diversity-- still rare in these generic books -- and that Marisol has a disability: diabetes. And I really, really, really appreciated that in the age of COVID, when far too many with "underlying health conditions" are blamed for their vulnerability to the disease, Ms. Roberts includes this exchange:
4 stars. There are at least two possibilities for the next book.

“Some people react weirdly. Some act as though it’s my fault almost. If I just did this or ate that, then I could miraculously cure it.” “That’s ridiculous,” he stated, making her insides go warm.So, no, abelist world: people are not responsible for their illnesses. Side Note: I did have some concerns about Linc's paddling her since diabetics are susceptible to bruising, so while it's clear that the author did her research in some aspects of the condition, she didn't in others.
4 stars. There are at least two possibilities for the next book.

This was a great love story. Linc and Marisol,have a bit of a rough start. Marisol needs to learn that she can have good things in life and Linc needs to learn to trust. This is a long story and really focuses on their relationship, the drama is really secondary.

Montana Daddies has been a series i enjoyed a lot so far,so getting Daddy in Cowboy Boots as an ARC was a very nice treat.
I have to admit i was a little worried after Protector Daddy in the MC series,but those Montana Daddies are in a league of their own....
They know what they want,and they don’t hesitate to get what they need.
The first time Linc saw Marisol,he knew he liked what he saw.
And he wanted to see more of her,because he knew she was special.
Nothing like his ex....at all!
And the more he got to know her,the more he knew he wanted to know her little,too.
Marisol has had a rough life,being orphaned at a very young age.
Living with her aunt wasn’t easy....and as bad as it already was,it rapidly got worse.
Because she kept very bad company,and it looked like Marisol was going to be dragged down with them.....
Meeting Linc was the best thing that ever happened to her.
He made her dream about him as her saving hero....as her Daddy.
Until she is forced to run away from her aunts home when things get too dangerous.
Then her dreams start to come true....for a while.
Because a man that perfect wouldn’t want a girl like her to stay forever...right?
Especially with all that trouble on her heels?
But she is starting to find out Daddy dóes want a little like her.
And Daddy knows she is the little he has been looking for.
But how to deal with that trouble.....that is another question!
I was so happy to find a Daddy that cherished the little he found,in spite of his painful past.
A Daddy that was ready go do whatever he needed to make her feel safe and cared for.
And to find a little that was learning to trust her Daddy to do the best he could for her.
To have her interest at heart,and to show her he was there to stay.
These two healed eachother in such a beautiful way!

I really disliked the first half because I didn't like Linc much and I especially don't like the sheriff 🙃 but the second part was better when they got to the Ranch. I love how easily Marisol was accepted there and it really had all the found family feels 🫶🏻

This is a great Little story. When Linc met Marisol he was instantly attracted to her and suspected she might be a Little. Marisol escapes her stressful home life by reading and Little stories are her favorite where she dreams that a Daddy will rescue her. After she escapes a dangerous situation and is assisted by the sheriff, Linc is called and instantly takes her under his protection. Under Linc’s loving nature, she thrives and her Little side is appearing more and more. The dialogue between Linc and Marisol is exceptionally well written and at times pulls at your heart strings. There is danger but it is eventually neutralized. There is a HEA but a lot happens between Linc and Marisol which makes this an excellent read. I loved this story and would highly recommend it.

This series is only getting better and better. I loved Mari and thought she was an awesome Little for Linc. This poor girl had been abused since she was young but she still had a sweetness about her. Thinking herself unlovable we come to realize Linc may have a rival for his affections, one a good guy and one bad. He is the only one she cares for, even though she thinks she can't have him forever. Not really a spoiler to say that her Aunt is a royal B&*$%. Thankfully, Linc protects her, with the help of the guys from the Ranch, including Zander, who I have some sneaking suspicions about. Hope to see a story soon about that hot, overprotective sheriff. This is one series I don't want to end.

For Lincoln it was love at first sight and for Marisol, Linc was a cowboy sent from heaven. Marisol had only had a miserable existence until she met Linc and then her life changed dramatically. The story has a backdrop of ugliness, but Linc and the other inhabitants of Sanctuary give her a warm and loving home. The dialogue between Linc and Doc made me laugh out loud, and Zane��s sudden appearances were hilarious especially the one in the bedroom. If you want a really delightful feel good book this is it.

I love Sanctuary Ranch! Linc, the Ranch Manager thinks he’s found his own little in Marisol. This is a great story and actually quite intense! The feels are right their! Marisol works at the new spa that has opened in town. The excitement, danger, twists along with all the joy and happiness a little should have. The HEA is a particularly good one. The ice cream sundae after you’ve had the main course. Absolutely Laylah Roberts has these characters right where they should be.

Laylah Roberts excels at creating interesting DD/lg stories that go well beyond just the age-play aspect of the relationships. She makes sure that the reader can see the characters as more than stereotypes, and that we understand how they complement one another emotionally, not just physically. I think that’s why the Montana Daddies series has been so consistently good.
Marisol is a kind-hearted young woman trapped in difficult circumstances. She works for her aunt, who pays her very little and demands a ton of work from her. The older woman is abusive towards Mari, but without her job she can’t get medication that she must have in order to live. Mari is trapped in a terrible situation that is becoming dramatically worse because of her aunt’s gang leader boyfriend and his son.
Linc is a ranch manager who enjoys his career and his life, but has been lonely and hoping to find the right woman with whom to share it. When he first meets Mari he is immediately attracted to and intrigued by her. It becomes clear that she needs help, and he doesn’t hesitate to step right up and offer her anything he can, no strings attached. He is strong and sincere, ready and willing to learn about Mari and take care of her, even taking the time to learn all about her medical condition and how to best support her health. Linc wants to shoulder her troubles and free her up to enjoy life. In turn, he is the type of man she has dreamed about, only better because he is real and there is wonderful chemistry between them.
This was an enjoyable story with some suspense and a good HEA, and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. Will the Sheriff finally find his perfect match? Or will Zander? I don’t know who will be next, but I will definitely be there to read all about it.

Absolutely loving the Montana Daddies series!
Laylah pulls you right in to Linc and Marisol’s story that will have you cheering for the two right from the start. Linc has wanted a little for some time, and Marisol is it for him. Marisol’s life is complicated with her aunt, and she plans to start over somewhere in the future. But when the home situation gets overwhelming, Marisol is forced to make a decision. Luckily for Marisol, Linc is there to protect and care for her. I loved how Linc draws Marisol in to his home lifestyle and all seems well, except for the threat against Marisol. How will it all end? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you turn the next page! I can’t wait for the next Montana Daddy!

Marisol has had a rough life. She was orphaned at a young age and left to the not so tender care of her Aunt Rosalind. Mari works for her like a slave with very little chance to earn money to get away and her Aunt pays for her diabetes medicine. Her Aunt sends her to provide spa services for the Littles at Sanctuary. On her way out Mari meets Linc and sparks fly. Linc is drawn to the Little he sees inside Mari. Mari wants a Daddy like like Linc but she is afraid the bad things in her life would hurt him.
Mari is stuck with her cruel and abusive Aunt Rosalind who treats her like a slave. Mari has little money to start over and no way to pay for her medicine. Aunt Rosalind is also engaged to the leader of violent MC gang. The leader's son is determined to make Mari his by use of violence. Mari doesn't want to bring the MC down on Linc but she needs his love and protection.
I really enjoyed this story. Linc and Mari make a great couple

Marisol had been working for her aunt for room and board, surviving on tips
Linc had not been able to get Marisol out his head since the night he had caught her curvy body in his arms, he was drawn to her in an almost addictive manner and knew that he had to see her again as soon as possible.
Marisol had thought about the hansom cowboy, he was so like the characters she loved to read about strong and handsome and with a smile and kindness that she just knew would be simply wonderful to have all to herself. However, that was just a dream, things like that never happened to her she simply was her aunt’s unpaid maid, salon nail tech and general dogsbody.
When Marisol is nearly assaulted by her aunty new boyfriends’ son Tiger, she knows that she has to run and she finds herself being rescued by the local sheriff Ed who takes it on himself to call Linc in the middle of the night to rescue her.
Moving into Linc’s home and mixing with some of the other littles living on Sanctuary ranch she discovers first-hand what it is to be loved and cared for and she knows that she never wants to be without Linc but with Tiger and Saber on the warpath it is only a matter of time till he catches up with her. What is not aware of is the extent that Linc is willing to go to along with Zander who already knows the reputation of these men and will do whatever it needs to keep the Little’s on the ranch safe.
This is a really dramatic read and I can only say that like all the previous books in this series once you begin reading you will not be able to put this book down until you discover the outcome. It is also wonderful to catch up with some of the characters from past books to see how they are getting on, you will be blown away by this book.
I cannot wait for the next book to come along, hopefully it will not be too long in coming.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. I am to devour all the Daddy books that Laylah writes. This love story is about Linc and Marisol. She has not had the best of lives and things have gotten worse. The first time he ever laid eyes on Marisol, the attraction was instant. He thought then, watching her with the other Littles, that she might be one herself. When the Sheriff contacts Linc, he does not think twice about her. Linc and Marisol have a sweet love story and they are perfect for each other in all ways. There is still some drama and danger they have to get past to get to their happy ending. I loved these two characters, they just keep getting better. The story is very well written and kept me glued to the pages. I look forward to what comes next for everyone on the ranch.

Slow start to a good book. It took these two forever to get together, it seemed to me. Their interaction was nice, maybe a bit cheesy. The end was a nice surprise.

I greatly LOVED this one.
Linc, the quiet but always there responsible ranch manager of Sanctuary Ranch. Down to earth, unpretentious & kind.
And lonely.
He is happy for his fellow Daddies who've found their 'Littles' but Linc hasn't. He deeply wants a 'Little' of his own to love, care for, protect, cherish & lovingly discipline. But woman after woman finds her man, who is not Linc.
But one night Linc stumbles across Marisol. Beautiful, shy, klutzy Marisol.
And Linc realizes Marisol just may be HIS 'Little' . . . .
This is a sweet, loving, heartwarming romance between a strong firm but kind 'Daddy Dom' & a 'Little' who has a secret family life that is potentially lethal for her as well as Linc & those on Sanctuary Ranch. There's romance, a cute rescued puppy, sensual steam, danger, suspense as well as the joy of a lonely man & a frightened lonely woman finding love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mari’s Hero
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020

As far as I am concerned, Ms. Roberts has perfected the art of writing
well, balanced Daddy Dom stories, and Daddy In Cowboy Boots lived
up to my expectations.Her characters are so real, but with flaws that
we all can relate to.
Linc certainly proved his worth as a Daddy.I loved his sensitivity towards
Mari which was a wonderful combination of a loving, and when needed,
a stern Daddy.He stole my heart.
I thought Linc and Mari made a perfect couple. Linc was always there when
Mari stumbled.His consistent praise helped to repair her damaged soul.
My heart ached for poor Marisol; what a dismal existence she was living.
Orphaned at an early age, she was at the mercy of her aunt and her biker
boyfriend. Mari had never felt safe enough to let out her little until she
met Linc. Meeting Linc was a dream come true. His gentle approach was
just what she needed.
Linc was happy working and living on Sanctuary Ranch, but there was
something missing in his life. Loneliness plagued him until he met Mari.She
stole his heart and brightened his day. Just like all of the men on the ranch,
Linc was Oh, so protective and swoon-worthy.
The intensity was consistent throughout the storyline.It had just the right
amount of tension, emotion and heat.This book warmed my heart and left
me wanting more.

A little odd.
This book seemed just a wee bit odd. Linc was being so carefull with teeny that I thought they would never settle down
I mean both were so afraid the other night up and leave. Linc was just a bit still having a hard time dealing with what his friend had done on the down low that he had a hard time lifting go of his past. Marisol was dealing with guilt played on her with a trowel by her Aunt. It was sweet when Doc of all people gave Linc a heads up, he's mellowed the old grouchy. I like these stories because they also bring the other little into the mix
Still I must ask that you dear reader take up the book excerpts or read the inside of the book peek to make up your own mind about reading this story

Teeny's Missing Linc
This series just gets better with ever new book edition! I don't know how Laylah does it but I'm so thrilled she does!
Marisol had a really hard life and was being physically and emotionally abused by the only family member she had left...and with her needed medications she felt trapped in her horrible situation.
In walks Linc ready to learn all about Mari and take care of her. Linc was amazing with Mari. He didn't push and pressure. He took it upon himself to learn about diabetes to take the best care of her.
Now don't get me wrong he was definitely a firm Daddy but he also gave plenty of love and attention which was wonderful for Mari as she'd been starved for it.
There was a bit of drama going on with Mari's aunt and those she was involved with but it really added another great angle to the story and showed off Linc and Mari's strengths.
I left this book itching for Zander and Ed's stories. I can't wait to see who each of them end up with!

Another quality book by Laylah Roberts
Reading a book by Laylah Roberts is like curling up in front of a fireplace with a big cup of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. You will feel happy and comfortable returning to a beloved place all while experiencing sweetness and defintely some hot moments. I am always excited when she has a new book come out because before each and every book of hers has been a joy and pleasure to read. Daddy in Cowboy Boots was no expection. From the delightful characters to the sweet moments as another Little finds her Daddy, each page kept me smiling and happy. Seeing Mari grow in her role as a Little and find such happiness with Linc brought me happiness. I loved seeing glimpses of past favorite characters but my favorite will also be the introduction of new characters because it means this series never has to end! Each book in this series has been a five star read and I am anxiously awaiting more books.

May Laylah Roberts never stop writing these wonderful daddy books, as they are always such a delight to read.
Link was envious of all his mate with their littles, and so when he was listening in at Charlie and Cints place he heard a wonderful and saw this beautiful women, who he knew was special. His first encou ter to meet Marisol was that same day when she nearly fell down the stairs. The second was in town and he was hooked.
When Marisol first met Linc she thought he looked like a handsome man out of the novels she reads a cowboy daddy. Her home life isnt that great and soon gets worse so that she runs away and is saved by the sheriff. But its Link who gets the call to come and get her and its Link who will become her cowboy daddy!!
A truely wonderful story and really i cant get enough of them. 5 plus stars

We're back at Sanctuary Ranch and get to read Marisol's story. She was only in the last book of the series long enough to make me want to know her story. Linc is the ranch manager and he's longing for his own little girl. Everyone at the sanctuary feel safe there because it's a Haven for kink and a lot of the people there are Daddies and Littles. When he meets Marisol, he really hopes she's a little, because she's his. Marisol as spent most of her life with her cold and cruel aunt. She gives everything to her and receives very little in return and when push comes to shove and she's threatened she winds up with Linc. Could she possibly be able to tell him that she's a Little and him mot laugh? Obviously she knows nothing about the Sanctuary. Yes yes yes, I love this series.

Daddy in Cowboy Boots is another book in Laylah Roberts’ Montana Daddies series. In this one we discover Linc and Marisol’s story. The protagonists, Marisol and Linc are emotionally wounded souls. Tragedy plagues Marisol from her early years. After both parents die, she ends up with her aunt, Rosalind Perez, a heartless witch. She emotionally and physically abuses Marisol treating her like an indentured servant. The antagonists, Rosalind, Saber and Tiger Mason were full-bodied characters. Rosalind is associated with a motorcycle gang, The Devil’s Sinners, through her boyfriend, Saber Mason. Saber’s son, Tiger, is groomed to take over in the future. He is evil, nasty, and mean and decides to make Marisol his. He taunts her making her life unbearable. Marisol works in Rosalind’s beauty spa and goes to Sanctuary Ranch to give facials and manicures for Charlotte’s bachelorette party. This is where she meets Linc Johnson, the ranch manager. Linc is gun shy when it comes to women after his previous girlfriend had an affair with his best friend. From their initial meeting, Linc and Marisol, are attracted to each other. He recognizes she is an innocent. She awakens a protective and possessive streak in him. Will Marisol and Linc get together? If so, will they find happiness? What obstacles will fall in their path? What role will Rosalind, Saber and Tiger in Marisol and Linc’s journey? To answer these questions, you must read this book.
I enjoyed Ms. Roberts’ romantic suspense story. Her characters, both primary and secondary, are complex with multiple layers. I enjoyed the chemistry between Marisol and Linc. Their conversational and internal dialog was well-written. I thought it was clever that she chose to use italics to identify internal dialog. It was clever that Ms. Roberts had Marisol rambling whenever she was nervous. Her ramblings added humor to this story. I liked that Ms. Roberts used a two-prong plot. One prong being the romance and the other the suspense of the actions of the Rosalind, Saber, and Tiger. Ms. Roberts used dialog and descriptive language to move her plot along. The passing was flawless. I appreciated how she built tension through the actions of Tiger and Saber to ratchet up the plot tension. Ms. Roberts used descriptive language to paint vivid pictures. For example, the scene in which Marisol is pulled over by Sheriff Ed for speeding were so vivid that as I read it, I felt I was right there in the car with Marisol. I thought it was clever of Ms. Roberts to link this book with other books in this series. She did it seamlessly. I enjoyed this captivating romantic suspense story. Way to go, Ms. Roberts.

I found this book in the series to be alright. I might have read the books in the series too fast and too close together because by the time I got to this book they all started to feel really similar. I didn't think there was anything that different about Linc and Marisol to make them feel special or to differentiate them from the rest of the couples. I actually found myself more interested in Ed and Zander than the actual main characters to be honest.
Don't get me wrong though, I think that this book is better written than previous installments and a lot of the problematic elements I disliked in earlier books are farther and few between in the more recent books. So I definitely think the books are improving as they have gone on. I would probably suggest people pick up this book and the more recent installments if they do not care about reading the series in order. It is nice to see some of the previous couples and know who they are when they show up, I will admit.
As for this book, I did like Marisol and she actually knew how to care for herself which was nice compared to most of our other heroines. She did have the damsel in distress storyline we have seen again and again but what can you do?
I didn't connect with Linc for some reason. He felt kind of one-dimensional to me maybe though I liked how much they communicated and actually talked about things like limits, safewords, and he would check in on her during play and punishment. I did feel Linc pushed a little too much and fast especially towards someone who had zero relationship and sexual experience. That was the other reason I maybe felt off about this book, it felt even more insta love than previous installments to me. Even with that, they are still a sweet couple.
Overall, I liked this book just as I have the previous installments. These are sweet and fast reads. I do hope for future installments that some of the story beats get changed up. Even some of the ddlg aspects are feeling really similar like .

Really good. Abrupt ending again though.
I enjoyed it but it was pretty much exactly the same as the other books. Linc had quite a few hang ups though that got a bit annoying. As his ex cheated on him with a close friend, he often misinterpreted what Marisol meant when she said things.
Marisol is a sad lonely woman. (YET AGAIN!) She lives and works for her aunt who abuses her mentally and physically. Her aunt doesn’t hardly pay Marisol as she lives with her, so she walks around with threadbare clothes on. She puts up with her treatment as she’s diabetic and her aunt buys her medication. When Marisol meets Linc they are both very attracted to each other, but of course Marisol has a lot of hang ups about her weight etc. As they all do in these books. 🥱
When something happens and Marisol has to live with Linc, at first they tip toe around a relationship with each other as they’re both scared of being hurt. Eventually they’re madly in love and everything is amazing, if boring.
While I enjoyed it, it was a bit boring after some initial excitement that didn’t go anywhere. That’s about all I can say. Apart from the usual annoyances. NO CHILD SPEAKS LIKE THE LITTLES DO!!! I’s tired, I’s a good girl. Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!! 😡😡😡

Mari and Linc are so cute 😍
WARNING! This contains themes that aren’t for everyone so be sure to check out the description and warnings first.
~Marisol hasn’t had the best life. Stuck with her cruel aunt, barely making enough money to survive, and dealing with her diabetes, she just needs a break and maybe someone in her corner. Linc wants nothing more than her. He’ll do whatever it takes to gain her trust and ensure her safety. He might be super bossy but it seems like that’s just what she needs.~
Mari has a heart of gold and handles everything so well. She truly deserves the world and more. So happy she gets a group of friends she can trust and rely on. I wanted to wrap her in a big hug. Linc is so good to her and for her. I love them.
Cute intro to the sheriff, Ed. And even Zander.. he’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure.
I loved hearing about Caley, Doc, and Archer. Doc still cracks me up with his severe grumpiness.
