This second installment of the Runaway Ranch series was so good. I like my romance with a little mystery and suspense and this did not disappoint. I'm not always a big fan of the pregnancy trope but wow, the author knocked this one out of the park. There wasn't a dull moment in this book and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved Dakota and her strength, bravery and tenacity and also the realness in which Ava Hunter wrote her. Most women fall in love with their pregnancies and their babies immediately, but it was actually refreshing to see Dakota being so real and raw and admitting how hard it was to love her baby (and given her history, understandable) and that it took her time to love her baby. Davis is a grumpy cowboy, but boy, does he love his family and those he cares about, including Dakota. Seeing him step up to the plate for Dakota and his son (HIS SON!) was so beautiful and heartwarming. The spice was really good, and there was nonstop action. I really loved Fallon, and her mysterious love hate relationship with Wyatt, which I am hoping we will see more of in the future. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
