Looking forward to the rest of the series!

3 rancher stars!

Hmm, this book was just ok. It was typical of a Hallmark-worthy story. Sweet and predictable. I found myself wanting to do other things than finish reading the story.

There was no major angst to this book, just a pleasant story on tw ...more
