About this ebook

Rodeo cowboy, Dakota Scott, has a problem. His truck has broken down and he’s stranded in small town New Mexico. To complicate matters he’s picked up another stray, this time a woman who needs his help.

Robyn Sparrow is a washed-up celebrity, famous in the 90’s for being the youngest of three sisters who had their own TV show. Now she’s reached rock bottom. When she meets Dakota, she’s desperate enough to promise him anything simply to get a ride back to the West Coast.

While Dakota struggles to understand Robyn, he comes to care for her and unwittingly leads her back toward the spotlight that almost killed her. But can she resist the lure of Hollywood and can Dakota really believe she’d give it all up for love?

Ratings and reviews

This is the third book in the Turner Brothers series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone but it is connected to the other books in the series and the other Turner brothers do show up in this book. Dakota is sometimes too nice for his own good, always trying to keep the peace and everyone around him happy, even at expense of his own happiness. He's been lucky to be surrounded by family that love him and stick up for him. Robyn has not been so lucky. She is a child actor that has dealt with everyone using her to include her own family. She sunk so low and made so many mistakes she believes no one could ever love her. Dakota loves Robyn's sass and fire but can he break through her protective wall and convince her she's worthy of love. I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest review.

This is HOT & I loved the humor. Robyn & Dakota do some serious fliting & bantering with each other, when they take time out from getting it on. The amount of sexy time is plentiful–oh to be so young again! Dakota gets more than he expects when he comes to the aid of a women in need. She looks familiar but it’s a while before he learns who she is. Robyn really messed up her life after becoming a spoiled Hollywood brat but she’s come out on the other side and is trying to keep her act together.

Robyn Sparrow once had a life many would find enviable. However, she is living a life on the edge of desperation. Dakota Scott never expected that when his vehicle broke down in a small town en route to Los Angeles, that his act of kindness would change everything. The story embodies kindness, growth, redemption, love and passion in an entertaining, and heartfelt journey to HEA. I have enjoyed each book in this series.
