Rootbound by Tarah DeWitt

4.0

---

 I really enjoyed this book, I had read a few of Tarah's other books and really liked them so I gave this one a go. The book opens with Tait having gone through a divorce and trying to come to terms with it. We move three years ahead and she receives a job offer back at her estranged family's ranch in Idaho. Tait and her sister never really had contact with their dad for about 20 years so she is very hesitant to go.

When she arrives in Idaho Tait meets Henry, who has worked and lived at the ranch since he was 15. I had a feeling the reason for the estrangement between Tait and her family might not have been what she thought, since the welcome she received was warm. I really loved that even though they were attracted to each other from the beginning Henry and Tait spent time becoming friends and talking about their lives.

We eventually learn about why Tait's dad stayed away, and I found it a bit heartbreaking. After that the healing could begin though. Once Tait and Henry give in to their feelings things get spicy, and Henry has that dirty talk down! Overall, the book was good and I'll continue to read more from Tarah.
