A former SEAL and his best friend's widow find that the path of healing leads to forbidden feelings in this emotional western romance for fans of Maisey Yates and Jennifer Ryan! For widow Tess Valdez, there are two things keeping her husband's memory alive: her daughters and the ranch he loved. And Tess has thrown herself into caring for both. But when the wild horses that roam her land are threatened, Tess seizes the opportunity to become their advocate--and finds a new purpose that is hers alone. She expects resistance from some of the locals, but what she doesn't anticipate is needing the one man she can't have by her side... No one understands Tess's pain better than SEAL Silas Beck. He lost his best friend on the battlefield, and he's spent every day since living up to the promise he'd made Jace to take care of the family he left behind. Falling for Tess was never supposed to happen, and Silas knows he should leave for both of their sakes--but he can't say no when she asks him for one last favor. Even if staying means confronting feelings they'd both rather ignore . . .
This is a Small Town Cowboy Romance, and this is the second book in the Star Valley series. I have read the first book in this series before picking up this book. I did like the characters in this book, but I did not love the characters. I overall found this book good. This is not a book I will remember for a long time. It is not a bad book, and I enjoyed my time reading it. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
