Bailey Hannah...what the ever loving is in this book. 

I devoured it.. no.. I.. I don't even know the right verb to use on how fast I read this book. How much I enjoyed this book. It was AMAZING. 

City girl Cecily is needing to leave her current situation. That is she is married and in an abusive relationship. She has been in contact with Beryl, who has a job for her. Cecily just needs to let her know she is coming. She finally leaves her husband and makes her way to Wells Ranch. On the way though she does get a flat tire and none other than the cowboy, no wait, Rancher of Wells Ranch assists in changing this tire. At the time though Cecily doesn't know it's him. When she arrives we meet the Rancher that fixed her tire and it is Austin Wells.

Austin is grumpy and doesn't put up with much. He has had his heart broken by loved ones and the trust is gone due to them leave him. He has this tough exterior and keeps people out but with Cecily around, things changes. Feelings Change! 

These two balanced each other out. They were hot together. BARN SCENE..wink wink.. YOU KNOW WHAT! NO! ANY scene these two together was amazing. Austin was going out of his way to make sure that she was safe and cared for but Cecily has to work through her own things to accept. This book with Austin and Cecily was a give and take. They both gave each other what each other needed but they also needed to take as well. Their relationship was able to grow. 

Hands down a top read for me and when I finished I was like, oh crap we got a book two.. GIDDY UP!
