Goodreads Synopsis:

When her estranged brother passes, Missy is suddenly an unwanted co-owner to Ocean View Stables by Florence, Oregon. Missy wants to start over somewhere new after her old boss burned her. She’s jobless and has a wrongly ruined reputation, so this works out perfectly . . . until she meets the cowboy running the place. Brent built his dream with determination and his two hands; he’s responsible for everything that happens there. Secretly, he feels responsible that his former partner died. He also doesn’t hide his belief that Missy won’t stick around. Women tend to take off on him so why would she be any different? They both have a past that can ruin their future. Can he trust her to stay? Can she trust him with her heart?


This book was a great, quick read. And when I mean quick, I read it in one night-that fast.

Not a lot to say about the book. I thought Brent avoiding Dancer because he blamed himself for Ben’s death was stupid. But when grieving, people do dumb things.

Will I reread this book? Maybe. I have to be in that type of mood to read it.
