Garrett Saunders' world changed two years ago on a road in Afghanistan. Back home, he feels like a stranger. As he struggles to find his place in the world, he meets a horse destined for the slaughterhouse and a woman bent on rescuing the strays of the world, including him.
Blair Greyson moves to Masonville to look after her ailing grandfather and give her rescue horses a home. Right away she butts heads with a surly former Marine. Despite a rocky start, they come to an agreement: Blair will board Garrett's rescue horse and he'll help with repairs around her farm.
Garrett finds purpose working with Blair—and falls in love with her. But she's hiding a secret. Can she forgive herself and accept Garrett's love, or will she let guilt and regret continue to rule her life?

My Review:
This is a well thought out
complex story that pulls you right in. Richards’ characters are funny and
multi-layered. Like us all, the characters have issues. Some are at the
surface, it the ones that we can’t hide, the underbellies, they are the most
interesting.
You will meet a cast of characters that is for sure but not so many that you
feel overwhelmed. Our, main character, Blair, the h has a whopper set of
parents. Well, her brothers and grandpa are great. You see she is the only
though in Masonville, North Dakota caring for grandpa. Bad ticker as they used
to say.
Garrett is the love interest since she was fifteen and hung with her brothers
and never even noticed her. This time when they meet like did, only on summer
breaks, they have no clue who the other is. Garrett’s injury in the line of
duty so left the Marines looking harsh. Blair, it seems grew up and filled in.
Their meeting was over a misunderstanding on Blair’s part. In this case, it
turns out to be an incredibly good thing. One that changes both their lives
forever.
I give this: 5++++ stars. Provide by netgalley.com.
