"Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review"
This is a good read that kept me interested and entertained. An injured bull rider isolates himself in a decrepit ranch in New Brunswick, Canada, and his parents convince a childhood friend, a horse healer, to apply her therapeutic skills in the reclusive hero.
With well developed characters, a good story line and a different setting, this romance novel is predictable but quite enjoyable, with solid writing, great dialogue and some cute or funny aspects, many related to the adventurous dog, Fox, the stray adopted by the hero.
I liked how the hero very gradually evolved from the rude, grumpy, antisocial man to a somehow caring and affectionate person; the author developed this process very well, with some humor (I appreciated the funny twist on the gentleman aspect, when, after another uncomfortable night, he muses that the heroine “could at least have offered to take turns on the couch”).
I'm grateful to the publisher, The Wild Rose Press, the author, Gail MacMillan, and NetGalley for providing a free copy.

It had too many words.
I know that is a strange thing to say, but it did. The story was too long, with a lot of unnecessary words. The dialogue was unnatural and cumbersome because of it.
It was a fine story, but would benefit from some serious editing.
Edited to Add: I ❤️ Bull Riding. Seriously.

After a career ending accident, Ross Turner becomes a hermit on a farm. Jessi Wallace is determined to help Ross get over his depression like she’s done with horses.
This was a sweet story. I liked both characters and the plot. I really liked the journey that Ross went through during the book. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
