Wade and Genny’s story was amazing. Their history was simple, but took a complex tern. Their love was strong enough to last 15 years, even when both had reason to hate the other. Genny was so selfless and I don’t know many people who could do what she did. I get Wade’s anger at his brother once he finds out the truth, and I hope in future books we will get to see their relationship mend. Ash added to the story in ways I can’t describe. I loved this quirky teen and at the same time my heart broke for how quickly he had to grow up. This book was a read in one sitting kind of book because I couldn’t stand not knowing what happened next. I think this is one of my favorite stories from this series. I definitely suggest reading it.
Their first chance at
love ended in heartbreak
Wade
Rycroft fell in love with Geneva Harris when she was the smartest girl in his
class. The rodeo star and the shy academic made for an odd pair, but their
chemistry was undeniable. They made plans to get married after high school. Those
plans changed when Genny broke his heart. Joining the Army gave him a chance to
leave that life behind. News that Genny married the town’s golden boy let Wade
know that he could never go home again.
A chance encounter
rekindles an old flame
Fifteen
years later, he’s found his place in the world and tried to forget the woman
who left him standing in the rain. After leaving the Army he forged a new life
as a bodyguard at McKay-Taggart, but he still feels incomplete. When his
brother’s wedding brings him home to Broken Bend, Texas, he walks into a storm
of scandal. Genny’s marriage has dissolved, the town has turned against her,
and someone is making threats. Seeing her again reawakens feelings he thought
were long gone, and he worries that staying close enough to help her could be
too much to bear.
Their reunion just might
kill them both
After
an attempt is made on Genny’s life, Wade can’t refuse to help her. Watching
over her day and night, it’s clear that having her back in his life could be
the thing to finally make him whole. When the danger follows them back to Dallas,
their second chance at love could be over before it even begins.

“Don’t. Don’t tell me how to feel. I know
you’ve worked through this, but I don’t know how to.”
“It helps to admit that we were all children
back then.”
“My mother wasn’t.” He needed to talk about
this with her.
“No, but she wasn’t the same after your dad
died. She was lost and I’ve forgiven her,” she replied quietly. “You can’t
spend your life being angry.”
“You’re angry with me.”
For a moment he thought she would ignore him.
Then she turned to him, her eyes shining in the moonlight. “Maybe. It’s hard to
figure out how I feel about you. For a long time, I dreamed about you at night.
You were the only man I ever loved. Brock killed that. I think he might have
killed the part of me that can love someone other than my son. I didn’t feel a
lot when my father passed. But then he was the one who told me to suck it up. I
went to him after Brock hit me the first time. He told me to not make my
husband mad.”
“Genny, he should have killed him. I would
have. God, I should have.” That sorrow that had been building inside him
threatened to spill over. Anger was there, but it was overshadowed by the
terrible pain he felt at the thought of her being alone and afraid.
“It’s funny,” she said, studying him in the
silvery light. “I went over pretty much every possible scenario I could, and
this wasn’t the way I thought you would handle it. It’s why it took forever for
me to talk to you. I thought you would either not care at all or that you would
be so angry you went after everyone. I hesitated because I thought I might
unleash a beast.”
He could give her this. Since the moment he’d
learned the truth, he’d genuinely forced himself to think about how he reacted.
It would be selfish to act out in anger when she needed him to be calm, to
think about what was best for her. The drive from Broken Bend to Dallas with
Ash had made that clear to him. They needed someone who would thoughtfully
protect them, not a raging animal who fed his own needs. “You’ve had enough
anger in your life. It’s there. God, it’s there, but I swear I won’t act on it
because I won’t do anything that could hurt you. I’ll try to handle him in
every legal way I can and if I have to take him out, I’ll do it in a way that
can never come back on any of us. You don’t need my rage. You do need me
though.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Because you think I’ll let you down again.” It
wasn’t a question.
“Because I don’t want to love
anyone again,” she admitted.
