ARC REVIEW
Colton and Mary Beth knew each other years ago when they both did the Rodeo circuit together. They were close friends then, but never crossed the line. Colton left and Mary Beth continued, until an accident sidelined her. Now years later their paths cross unexpectedly…
From the moment Colton and Mary Beth run into each other there is a connection between them. They instantly reconnected and the friendship they once had began again, however, now they are both single things can progress to something more. However, the past and secrets have a way of coming back and that could change everything.
I loved seeing Mary Beth and Colton reconnect throughout this story. Colton has a lot in his past, but I love that he was able to open up to Mary Beth about it. I loved the added little bit of suspense that this story had mixed in to it. It kept me intrigued and turning the page because I had to know what would happen next.
If you’re looking for a small town, second chance with a little suspense check this one out.
