Ms. Clopton has picked a few fun tropes for her story: cowboys, forbidden romance, second chance romance, a little suspense. If you enjoy those elements, you'll have a great time reading this book.
The characters are well-developed and the pacing is smooth. I few more inner dialogues on the reasons why they can't be together for my taste were the only interruptions to the story.
A good read anytime. Clean. Only kissing.
