Romance, clean; series, but stand alone read

Their relationship is complicated by secrets, and family issues on both of their sides. As they both try to navigate their budding relationship, their hearts and their attraction lead them to open up and find each other fully. Cute, fun novella read. Lots of characters/threads from other novels, but easy to follow along with this one. Em ...more

Sweet, clean romance. I liked the story but more than one time I wanted to scream at some of the characters especially Emerson. She really needed to pack her bags. But staying made for an exciting climax so it was necessary for the plot. I am not really sure that I liked everything in the epilogue. I fear Emerson will fall into her parents clutches again. I don't see how she can ever trust them again. I thought Riker was a fun hero but I was surprised how easily things worked out for his family.

Emerson mother was planning a barbecue that had to be perfect. To ensure her daughter married Finley and the merger would go thru. She races off to the do barrel race at the rodeo. Where she meets blue eye Titan, Riker.
Their relationship was not easier, would they follow their hearts or pressures of parents, and what people expected of them. Good cute stories of opening up and getting rid of past hurts

I enjoyed this story which dealt with two young people from two very different types of families. One was struggling with forgiveness and one was battling to live her own life authentically with resistance coming from her loved ones. With assistance from one another they manage to move forward together with these things as they fall in love.

4 1/2 stars!
Emerson and Riker are really good for each other as they each help the other find forgiveness for difficult things that happen in their lives. I found the descriptions in the book to be vivid and pictured everything beautifully in my head. It was very clean, no swearing or sex. It was a fun read!

A romance of two good people in need of some hard life lessons. There is such a picture of the paths we can take in life as Riker and Emerson/Starr meet and begin a journey. Choose people, love and peace or things, chaos and hatred. Thoroughly enjoyed being in the midst of some very good and very evil characters and hoping for a fairy tale ending.

Sweet and cute
This was a sweet and cute read. It was fun to see the influence of hometown supporters and interesting to see two flawed characters come together and help each other overcome. This was sweet and clean, I'd rate it PG. ...more
