Maverick had a difficult childhood on his family’s ranch but his bestie Colt was always there for him and helped him see him through some rough times. Maverick has to leave Lovelorn and all the pain it represents behind and doesn’t return until 20 years have gone by. These two wonderful men have both been scarred by what life has thrown them but the spark between them never went out. Being back in each other’s orbit not only rekindles their passion for each other but also their insecurities. Fortunately being older and wiser they communicate much better than they did as teens. It’s not always easy and straightforward but the harder parts are traversed together as they head towards a longed for HEA. An HEA that left me with the biggest smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. 

I loved Colt’s daughter Willow and Maverick’s niece Hannah who both play a major roles. There’s also some other intriguing side characters in this very enjoyable and engaging read and I can’t wait for their stories to be told.
