About this ebook

Men are Lisa’s magnets. Kurt is her Kryptonite. Until he discovers the true woman behind the act.

After a failed engagement, Lisa resigns herself to never fall under the spell of another man again. From then on, the ball is always in her court and Lisa calls all the shots. She’s independent, strong-willed, and gets a personal high out of marathoning her way through men. Until one man walks into her life…and for the first time ever, Lisa is speechless.

Kurt relocates to Huttonville to help his brother Grayson out on Kelsey Ranch. After obtaining a college degree in a similar field, Kurt realizes that horses are, in fact, his life. But the other important thing to Kurt is family, which is why he drops everything to help Grayson in his time of need. Kurt, like the other Thomas boys, is a no-nonsense, ‘let’s get the job done’ kind of guy. When he hears about Lisa, his boss’s way too forward best friend, he admittedly distances himself when she comes around the ranch. But he soon realizes that that isn’t necessary, since Kurt is the only man whom she does not try to sink her teeth into.

Until one day when Kurt just can’t stand to watch her scurry away, and he confronts her. What he finds out, within days, changes his life. Lisa is unlike any other woman Kurt has ever known. But she leaves out one very important detail. That secret is what nearly kills her days later. Once Kurt learns the truth about Lisa, will he stand by her side, or will he bolt like the man who once left her for the same reason, nearly a decade ago…

A heartbreaking yet heartwarming tale about lost love and finding it again. It’s also about taking the good with the bad in life and in love. Pick up your copy today!

This is book two in A Town Without Pity and it is Lisa and Kurt's story and wow what a story it is. I love how this starts with the continued story of Laura and Grayson and then carries on with the others fitting in to the book even though I class it as Lisa and Kurt's book. Lisa is a flirt but that is because of her back history but every time she is near Kurt she knows that she is in trouble so she tries to keep her did as she doesn't do commitment. Kurt decides to ask Lisa what her problem is with him but he ends up asking her on a date to see how she will react when they are on there own but how will that work out as Kurt is the total opposite of Lisa and likes to be in a committed relationship. Lisa and Kurt spend more time together and get really close but Lisa has a big secret that she hadn't told anyone about even her best friend Laura so she starts pushing Kurt away then something really bad happens and all bets are off. Will they get a chance to be together or not. Lisa and Kurt's chemistry and connection between them is so strong but will it be enough. There are twists and turns along with emotional situations that you don't see coming and I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next. Wow I love this book and series so much and I can't wait to read the next book. Sandy Appleyard is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by her and you will definitely not be disappointed. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
