Synopsis

She’s the city girl who refuses to be saddled with a man. He’s the cowboy who wants her anyway.

The last thing Ada Hart needs is a man to take care of her. Not anymore. After failing out of her interior design program and the disaster that was her short-lived marriage, Ada clawed her way up from her rock bottom. Now, the only person she trusts is herself, and that has gotten her further than ever before. She has her own business, and one of the largest ranches in Wyoming just hired her for the most important project of her career.

When Ada arrives in Meadowlark, she finds herself in a dive bar where she can’t seem to shake the eyes of a handsome cowboy. When she leads him to the back of the bar, he leaves her with a kiss that most people can only fantasize about. She almost regrets that she’ll never see him again . . . except it turns out he’s her new boss.

Weston Ryder is a happy guy. Even happier now that the mystery woman from the bar is the interior designer for his dream project on his family’s ranch. He feels like he hit the jackpot. It’s too bad she wants absolutely nothing to do with him outside of work. Ada is convinced the pull she feels toward Wes will go away, but Wes can’t stop thinking about her. Even though walls are coming down around Rebel Blue, Ada’s walls are firmly in place.

Can they make it through this project without giving in? Or will they both put their dreams on the line for a chance at love?

Thoughts

Book two in the Rebel Blue Ranch series was just as enjoyable as the first! I love Sage’s writing style. She provides just enough depth and atmosphere to keep this light contemporary romance from floating off like a tumbleweed. Just the way I like my happily ever afters.

Ada and Weston are interesting characters, but combined have amazing chemistry. If you’re in the mood to read about a girl overcoming heartbreak, Ada is a great female main character. If you’re looking for a tough cowboy book boyfriend with a sweet side, look no further than Wes. And if you’re wanting some spicy scenes, this couple provides the heat!

I look forward to continuing this series. It has been a complete joy so far.

❥ Listening to this via audio was an outstanding experience! Narrators Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin are brilliant.
