From the publisher's summary "No connections. Play it safe. These were the rules Ivey lived her life by.
Until she hit Mustang, Colorado, a perfectly imperfect town where the citizens were welcoming and one of them included the tall, beautiful, macho man rancher cowboy, Grayson Cody.
On the run for a decade, Ivey knew she was supposed to play it safe. But she was tired of being on the run. She wanted a normal. She wanted real. She wanted a home.
And she wanted Grayson Cody.
And Grayson Cody wanted Ivey.
No one who looked at them couldn’t see they belonged together. There was one man in this world for Ivey and one woman in this world for Grayson Cody.
So they fell in love.
But just as quickly as they fell together, they were betrayed and torn apart. Separated for years, Ivey was certain her life would not include her rancher cowboy. Until the town of Mustang reached out to her when Gray was in trouble. Even though she thought he broke her heart, she charged in to help. Then Gray and Ivey discovered they were betrayed and, not only that, Gray had an enemy who would stop at nothing to defeat him."
No one does second chance at love like Kristen Ashley (except for maybe Mia Sheridan) But she sets our lovers up as once in a lifetime loves and they are invariably separated by plotting baddies! Somehow, KA makes this trope feel like it's the first time you're reading it. Ivey and Gray are a couple you want to see together. Both gorgeous and good. And NOBODY writes a sweet Alpha male like KA. Gray is amazing--you'll want one of him for yourself! He has some past hurts, but he has known lots of love in his life. Ivey, not so much. When she meets Gray, he gives her the very first taste of love, committment and family she has ever had. I hated knowing that they were going to be separated, but I also couldn't wait for them to reunite. It was so sweet, and I re-read that scene about 10 times. Anyway, there is some intrigue in this book, but it's not as action packed as some of her other books. It's a sweet and easy read. Definitely and one of my favorite reads of the year.
