About this eBook

Former rodeo star June Grayson has hit rock bottom, so she heads home to Last Stand, Texas, and lands a job at the Three Sisters Ranch until she gets back on her feet. Restless and searching for her new normal, June’s determined not to get hurt again, but a sexy cowboy both calls to her wild side and soothes her need to run.

To Esteban Lopez, the Three Sisters Ranch is more than a job. He’s worked hard to help the ranch thrive and in return it has helped him support his family. But when his brother is passed over for a job in favor of a rodeo hotshot—who is also a lifelong crush of his—Esteban struggles with mixed emotions. His attraction makes him feel like a traitor, but he’s never mixed work and play. 

One unforgettable night, June and Esteban blur the boundaries, and they're not sure how to redraw them. She’s only in town temporarily, but he can’t shake the feeling that when she leaves, she’ll take a chunk of his heart with her.

Ratings and reviews

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it. LOVED it!!! I absolutely adored this story. I have read all the prior books and this one just fit in perfectly with the others. I have a terrible memory so I went and glanced through the prior ones to get reacquainted with the characters (one reason why it took so long to read.) There were some really great scenes here that made me want to move so I could work on the Three Sisters Ranch! This was written in my favorite dual POV format. Getting that glimpse into the characters' thoughts really helped me to connect to June. I don't normally read about such wild female protagonists. She made me realize that I was missing out on. There were a few questions that I couldn't figure out like the reason behind the push to get rid of June from the rodeo. The 3 w's were at work here (who, what and why). I can't answer as I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a great male cowboy and a strong female barrel-racer. A word of caution as this is a sexy read so if this isn't your cup of tea, well you could skip those. Another reason for the long and slow reading of this book, (the hot male model!) Ms. Schmidt has hot men on her covers and wiping the drool off of my e-reader was a little time consuming!

Former rodeo star, June has hit rock bottom and heads home to Last Stand and gets a job at Three Sisters Ranch. Fellow ranch hand, Esteban has had a life long crush on June but has mixed emotions on this new hire, this job was supposed to go to his brother. There is a sizzling chemistry between Esteban and June, but June does not do the L word. Can Esteban change her mind? Loved June, a very strong female personality. Esteban is very loyal to his family and to his new love, June. Even with mixed feeling towards June being hired as a new ranch hand instead of his brother. Loved the sizzling chemistry between the two. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend.

lovely book.
