My rating: 4 of 5 stars

On her way to the cabin things go wrong which has her ending up in a ditch in the road, trying to get to her trusted company Biscuit she then falls an injures her ankle, while trying to come around a gruff cowboy helps her and eventually she lets him take her to his house at the end of lane so his sister can check her over. Alexa is at a loss when she starts having feelings for the widow but factor in his four year old daughter so is a gonna.

Jake is still grieving the loss of his wife four years ago, he is only existing but that is no life for his daughter to be raised, quiet and lost in her own world his family worry about the little girl. When driving home with Katie in the car he stumbles across an accident and decides to help the stranded woman but quickly realising it’s his friend sister, Alexa. Although he needs to help her feelings start awakening that he has not felt in ages or even with his late wife which is scaring hi,.

As her recovery continues he starts to see a difference in his daughter Katie and within his self, hoping that something can happen with Lexie and will be able to mend a broken heart and live a life of love again.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a beautiful read. The story was lovely and uplifting with the interactions between the main characters brilliant and will put together. I also loved the interaction between Lexie and Katie and watching the little girl open up and blossom was a lovely thing to read.

The secondary characters added to the story and the twist in the end was a lovely thing to put the icing on the cake and wrap the story up nicely. Showing the vulnerable side to Jake was interesting I always love a softie at heart. I do hope some of the characters get a book, it would be especially nice to see Sean get his happy ever after.

I can’t wait to read more in the future.
