Leaving is what Julia Finch does best.
When a meeting with her birth parents goes horribly wrong, Julia escapes on a hastily planned road trip and winds up breaking down in a Colorado town so small the cows outnumber the people. Completely out of her element, she takes a temporary job as a ranch hand at Bennett Ranch. She only has to survive long enough to get her car fixed, and then she’s out of there for good.
Her bad luck continues when she meets the ranch owner, Elena Bennett. Elena is unhappy, abrasive, and annoyingly breathtaking. But the longer Julia stays, the more the ranch starts to feel like home, and her feelings for Elena become impossible to ignore. She’s spent years building her defenses high and running from her past. Could a love worth staying for be the key to breaking down her walls?

I absolutely enjoyed this story from start to finish. This splendidly crafted age-gap, slow-burn romance with quite a few compelling reveals about the protagonists’ past made this story even more captivating and so well worth a reading experience!

I really loved this one, it flowed well and one of its real pleasures for me is watching Julia’s growing love for her surroundings, for ranch life and the people she’s sharing her days with. She falls in love in more ways than one. It’s a feast.
