Two words-Cash Walker. Drop dead gorgeous, a panty melting smile and charm that runs for miles Cash is the ultimate cowboy. The unavailable ultimate cowboy. Cash carries his darkness from his past deep inside and deems himself off limits in love. Until the day Emma Frank drives up the driveway on the Tucked Away ranch. Emma is back living with her father after living a hellish marriage to an abusive man currently behind bars, yet she still can't escape and put the past behind her. Being bullied by his two brothers, she's lost two jobs, relocated back to live with her father and they still seek her out. Cash and Emma meet when the resident goat of Tucked escapes and Emma drives him home. Staring down the fearsome bull blocking her way in the lane, unaware Cash is watching, Emma faces down the bull and the bull wanders off. Arriving with goat in tow, she meets Cash and Emma the timid surfaces, aware of her fear of just about everything, Cash helps Emma gain some confidence, finds her a job and now for the first time Emma has friends. Along with a cowboy who is totally smitten with her. What a treat to watch Cash fight his feelings for Emma, for the first time Cash wants more than he could have ever hoped to have in his life, but he fears his past. Growing up in an abusive home Cash knows the scars of abuse. That's what he recognizes in Emma when they first meet. She's now living at the ranch while her Dad is out of town and enjoying the company of friends she's never had, yet the threats from her ex's scumbag brothers still persist. Cash and Emma have incredible chemistry and I loved the secondary characters as well. Jennie has woven an exceptional story of love and redemption into one heck of a romance that I totally fell for. It's a story I'd read more than once and anyone who loves a powerful read softened with an unsinkable couple will love this story. Absolutely loved this book!

Jennie Marts is an author that is not afraid to delve into all the pieces that shape a person into who they are and have yet to become. Stolen Away was the most recent example of that skill. Years of neglect and abuse mentally and physically has left Emma unsure of herself and scared to trust. Cash is the man who gently breaks through and gives her the strength to face her past. Protecting her becomes his priority, teaching him the meaning of love becomes hers. I am a fan of stories of courage and Stolen Away is a redemption story that makes the heart rejoice.

This is the third book in the Hearts of Montana series and it is definitely one of my favorites. It's a very emotional story that will touch your heart immediately. With exceptional storytelling and character development Jennie Marts will keep you glued to the pages of this one. With all that Emma and Cash go through, you just know that have to get their HEA!! After escaping an abusive relationship, newly divorced Emma Frank comes home to Broken Falls. Her husband is in jail but his brothers are determined to make sure Emma has no peace. Then she meets Cash Walker. He's a smooth talking charmer but he knows right away that Emma has a wounded soul and what she needs right now is a friend. Cash has enough demons of his own to understand. Just friends. That's all they can be. Protecting Emma from her crazy past is what's important and Cash will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even if he loses his heart in the process. This is definitely a book I recommend!
