"Kindness shouldn't be a rare occurrence."
I thought that was an apt quote from the book to start my review with. It truly encompasses the way the found family on Redemption Ridge operates. I adore each and every one of the men who call the ranch their home. Ivan really put it in prospective when he explained the feeling of arriving on the ranch after incarceration and having his pick of clothes offered by Cash. Something we take for granted sometimes, the simple ability to OWN our own clothes, was monumental to him. It broke my heart. I can understand why Ivan was leery about new people disrupting the vibe of their sanctuary, it just turned out it wasn't needed when it came to Rory.
Right from the start these two men only had eyes for each other. Ivan fought it so hard. Rory, the cheeky little man he was, was undeterred by the grumpy giant. When these two finally gave into their lust it was explosive. It was also absolutely sweet as heck. I didn't realize what a softie Ivan was hiding under that gruff exterior. It's always the quiet ones who surprise you. And Rory. I wondered if he was going to be the spoiled brat type but I was way off base. He worked hard on the ranch and never asked for special treatment. He genuinely earned the trust of the men who worked beside him with his efforts. It's no wonder Ivan couldn't stop the inevitable, falling for the likeable man. Thankfully, Rory was in just as deep as Ivan.
"I'm going to keep you."
"Not if I keep you first."
Now I am absolutely thrilled that Cash's story is next! I thought we'd have to wait a bit more for his book and that Walker would save him for last. I'm now hoping that isn't the case because I really want a book for sweet Rue. And also of course Owen and Tyler, who it appears are following the route that Harry and Dylan took aka the oblivious one. I am so here for it!
