Hope Trahan has everything
she wants and everyone she needs…except her sister and someone who really is
deserving of her. Who knew two separate events would turn everything completely
upside down? When her best friend drags her down to the rodeo to help clear her
head the last thing she expects is to meet a sexy, sweet talking cowboy. That's
not what she came for but fate had other things in mind.
Wesley Tyler owns two national titles and is riding his way to the next. The day he meets Hope, he knows there's no going back. He soon learns Hope carries ghosts with her she can't quite shake. She holds things she wishes she could let go of. Wesley just may hold the key to helping her overcome it all. Can he win her over and help mend her broken walls or will her past hold her down?
Let me start off by saying that I really have no interest in
cowboys but this cowboy really took my interest. This book was a fantastic
read. It really stole my heart from the beginning.
First you meet Hope Trahan and at the time she is engaged to
Brad, who is a complete douche bag. She tells of her loss of her sister and the
toll it has taken on her life. You also meet her best friend Amber who I loved.
Amber and Hope have the perfect relationship as friends. Amber is out going and
says what is on her mind. Whereas Hope is a little more cautious. She has her
life mapped out but of course as we all know when you try to plan it never
happens that way.
Brad shows his true colors to Hope. I was so mad at him. I’m
not going to say I didn’t see it coming but I did but still I could have torn
his nuts off for her. I will not go into detail of what happened but in the end
you will be glad it did happen.
Next you meet Wesley Tyler. *Sigh* Like I said I don’t
really care for cowboys but this one I do. He is just how you think a cowboy
should be, he is sweet, kind, and very tender hearted. I fell madly in love
with him from the beginning. Although he does do some stupid stuff but what man
doesn’t do something stupid once in a while.
Hope and Wesley are truly mean to be together. You will find
out the destiny or fate, whatever you want to call it, brings them together. I
laughed and ugly cried through this book. I suggest you go out and get this
book. It’s one you won’t regret reading.
I am giving this book 5 hearts.
“Excuse me ladies.” The voice comes from nowhere and I look around spotting Amber first with her jaw on the ground. She’s speechless, this never happens with her. My eyes roam to find what’s got her in a comatose state and standing right in front of us is a guy in Wranglers so tight it should be a crime and a baby blue dress shirt with those snap buttons. This guy is playing this cowboy part a little too seriously. His boots are even worn like they are the only pair of shoes he owns. Oh brother, is he kidding me? I roll my eyes while Ambers jaw is still on the floor.
She slowly closes her mouth and manages a weak smile. “Hi.”
My eyes feel like they are constantly rolling, this is a damn joke. We’re next at the concession stand and I lean forward asking for a Bud Light. The girl hands me a big plastic cup filled to the brim. Thank you God. I take a big sip letting the cool liquid slide down my throat. I look back to see he’s still standing there and he’s looking at me. Practically staring. His green eyes are sparkling like emeralds and it takes a second before I’m able to tear mine away.
“I’m Wesley.” That drawl in his voice is almost making me swoon but I stop it. He extends his hand out to me. I can practically hear Amber scoff and I’m agreeing with her. Why isn’t this guy talking to her? I am nowhere near ready to speak to another guy.
Baffled, I just stand there trying to decipher what’s going on. “I’m Amber, this is Hope.” Amber interjects and I shoot daggers at her begging her to shut up. She’s smiling, and I know exactly what she’s doing.
“Nice to meet you Hope. I won’t bite, I swear. I may nibble and that’s it.” Oh man Wesley sure has some nerve! I’m rolling my eyes again and I’m really praying he doesn’t notice because I’m not trying to be rude.
“Nice to meet you too,” I mumble.
“I hope you like the rodeo tonight.” He says never taking his emerald green eyes away from mine. The intensity of his stare takes my breath away.
