Catching Ember by Beverly Preston

5.0

I was totally captivated by this beautiful, breathtaking and sizzling romance. Ember has recently lost a father she never knew. He left his huge wealthy ranch to her when he passed, asking only that she spend four months there before she makes any decision to sell. Ember is a free spirited California girl, but is also smart, strong, and adventurous. She wants to give Texas and ranch life an honest shot, but she has a lot to learn. There are many who want to get their hands on her ranch and will do whatever it takes to convince her to sell. When she first arrives, she has a breathtaking and hilarious meet cute with Nash. He had an easy confidence, charm, and rugged sexiness that called to her. But she soon learns that he works hard to get what he wants, and he wants her ranch for it's oil. But he never expected the beautiful woman he thought would be his adversary. She was the perfect blend of sweet innocence, with a wild spirit that made him want to break all his rules. They are drawn to each other right from the start and their chemistry is explosive! Ember is learning more about the ranch and falling in love with her new life. But when secrets are revealed, Embers world is once again shattered when she thinks she's been played. This is a thrilling and heart-pounding story that kept me riveted and on a roller-coaster of emotions from beginning to end. I loved both Ember and Nash, they felt real and authentic and their relationship was so fun, beautiful, and passionate. They were so perfect for each other, from their love of the outdoors and Texas sunsets, to their fiery passion.
Stella Hunter, and Lance Greenfield were perfectly cast as Ember and Nash. They skillfully made these characters so clear to me, making me care for them quickly. Their inflections were breathtaking, and their chemistry was palpable. I was completely lost in their storytelling as they made this beautiful story even more irresistible!
