This is the first book in the Redemption Ridge trilogy.  Kieran Sullivan is released from a 20-month prison sentence served for a crime he did not commit.   He has been let down by everyone in his life.  He is angry and wants revenge not the redemption being offered at the ranch.  He believes the ranch's owner may be involved in a crime ring that caused him to go to prison.   He meets Finley Ashe who will be his boss on the ranch.  Finley is on a six-month hiatus from men because he tends to go for the wounded souls who end up hurting him.  There is an immediate attraction.  The relationship development is well done.  Both characters grow so much over the course of the novel.  There are funny characters like Finley's mother who break up some of the serious elements of the story.  We do get resolution to what happened to Kieran which provided a great ending.  The book also provided other interesting characters who I look forward to learning more about in the next book.  I would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed Ms. Walker's other novels.  I would also recommend it for new readers to the genre.
