Another winner from Mrs. Bev!! I really enjoyed reading about woman of the land and rancher Spring and the bookish cinnamon roll she fell in love with. There are tons of cowboy romances out there but not a lot of cowgirls, even though they existed.

I loved everything about this heroine including how independent she was.. It's unconventional for a woman nowadays to not want children, let alone back then. And for that to be something she wouldn't budge on is amazingly progressive for a historical, even by today's standards of the romance novel. But of course, what else can you expect from this author..

Spring 'had a past', which is also another unique thing about this story. That and the fact that Garrett didn't care or even if he did rightfully told himself it was none of his business. I loved that and how he came to terms with the fact that he couldn't change Spring or her mind about things so he had to accept her the way she was.

The conflict was bit rushed, which is the norm for this author but I find myself not bothered by that because honestly in real life it's like that. The thing that is built up so big in our minds ends up taking less time than we think to resolve. And the story was around Spring and her coming to terms with her demons and needing to forgive the family that had wronged her and Garrett realizing that he was truly was a freed man and this included not playing into the expectations of his father, another former slave.

Everything was beautiful about this book and I adored every page.
