My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Harper Sloan returns with a passionate and breathless romance about the sparks that ignite when a cautious cowboy and a once-scorned woman open up to each other in the third installment of the Coming Home series.
As the eldest Davis, Clayton has always tried to lead by example. He takes his job as head of the family businesses seriously, making sure the farm and auto shop are running smoothly—along with keeping an eye on his brother and sister. For him, there's a time and place to let go of the control he holds with an iron grip. And with the way he grew up, coupled with disastrous end to his last relationship, he's just fine with his quiet, solitary life.
Most of the time.
What he hadn't counted on was cute, quirky, shy bookstore owner, Caroline Michaels. She's the proverbial woman next door—well, the next town over, that is. Caroline hasn't lived an easy life, but after escaping an abusive ex, she's finally living it for herself. The last thing she ever expected was a one-night stand with Clay Davis, a night she can't stop thinking about.
So when she falls on hard times and Clay comes out of nowhere to her rescue, she realizes just how impossible it'll be to stay away from him. Now all she has to do is convince him to live a little...
Will Clay be able to give up the reins and finally settle down? And, more importantly, will Caroline muster enough courage to lasso him up?
A cowboy romance. Sounds cliché, right? I mean when people think of romance books, they think of something like this. The old Harlequin days with Fabio on the front, right ? But let me tell you, if more people read this book and used this as their standard to hold romance to, I'd bet more people would read romance .
This book was amazing. From the characters, to the steam, to the love, to the drama, I think this may be the best book in the series. Our Clayton. So damaged and hurt, broken and lonely, just needed the right woman to heal him. Just as Caroline needed the right man to put her back together and build her back up. Watching while these two characters crossed paths, then began building something so beautiful was really like having a movie play in my head while I read. The picture Harper paints throughout this story at every turn is so vivid. Every scene, every milestone, every happiness, every wall shattering moment is so real, you can feel it as if you were there yourself.
The only thing I didn't think was agreeable was, come on, who has that much time for good, slow , bein' bad when you have a small baby. ;)
