A devastating loss has left Wyatt Grayson lost. Selling his business, he takes off cross country to see if he can outrun the nightmares and find…something. When an amusing ad for skills he hasn't put to use in a long time catches his eye, he jumps at the unexpected opportunity. He plans to work for a few weeks, keeping his hands busy and biding his time; what he doesn’t expect is his new boss showing him how to live again.
MY REVIEW:
Rylee Phillips is back home in Timber Creek, Texas. Once she
found out she inherited her Aunt Thelma’s home. It was the sign she
needed. She had been homesick especially after the breakup with her
ex-Brian.
She needed control back in her life and coming home to claim her new home was
it. She is going to turn it into a B & B (Bed & Breakfast.)
Everyone thinks she’s as crazy as the aunt that gave her the house. But
she has a dream and she would do anything to make it work.
Her first step is she needed help but she had none. She needed someone
who was handy with tools, she had none. So, she took out a “Husband
wanted ad.” Her brother the sheriff was not happy about it at all.
He about had a heart attack. Tried to tell her how dangerous it could be
for a woman to put an add out like that. But she didn’t care she knew it
would work. It just had too.
Luckily, it did. Only one person applied. He seemed to know what he
was talking about. So, she hired him on the spot. Really two things
made the choice for her. One the neighbor next door has been bugging to
buy the ranch first from her aunt and now her. She said, No just like her
aunt. Two, no one else had applied. So, by default, he got the
job. Not only that he was handsome too. But the great smile and
laughter he gave off didn’t reach his eyes. For there was a sadness of
some kind that he was hiding.
But weren’t they all including her. You see eight years ago her life was
very different. She lived through the worst experience of her life.
Cancer. For just that moment when she heard the doctor say that word, her
world stopped moving. The room faded away except for her and her doctor
as he told her she had it.
Yet, light years later she’s living life now wide open. The last four
years after a breakup. The man couldn’t love all of her. So, she
walked away at a time when her aunt said in her will I give you my farm and a
bit of money. Now her dream is a B & B.
So, the morning arrived to hire someone and only one person arrived. It
happened to be the man who has a chest made of bricks that her short stature
runs into as she’s fleeing her home for her life. You see, she and the
stray she named “Cat” to not get to attached. They heard a noise coming
from the fireplace as they bent down to investigate something came flying out
at her and was chasing her. As she runs out screaming into the arms of
Wyatt Grayson.
He asks if she would like him to investigate she nods but can’t seem to move
out of fear. He picks her up and sets her down out of the way.
She’s so small she’s as lite as air. When he returns, he is holding the
culprit. It turns out to be a baby owl who is now injured after running
into a lamp. She hires him and says she’ll be back that she needs to take
the owl to her sister-in-law at the vet’s office.
He says he’ll drive so they can talk about the job. She feels nothing but
good vibes about him but finds it odd he’s not so concerned about his
pay. He right away likes Rylee and for the first time in two years, he
finds himself laughing to himself since his wife died of cancer.
Especially, as he hears her recount her experience of the killer baby owl.
This was a cute story of a lost love, sorrowful loss, love, pain, and
healing. Yet, one of hope, strength, and a fight for survival. How
we can’t always handle out fears alone sometimes we need love to guide
us. I give this: 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow
