This was short and sweet. I liked it, the baby was cute and the MCs were really sweet, and it was a nice quick read. The one thing I really did not like was all the bad-mouthing everyone did about Karen. She was the baby's mother and she just died a tragic death and all everyone else says is what a whore she was or what a bad mother she would have been. Overall, it was an okay book but nothing too exciting or memorable. I am a huge fan of babies and cowboys, and that part of the book I enjoyed. But there were a few too many things that bothered me, and perhaps it was due to the length, I’m not sure. 2.5Maybe my biggest problem with this story was that when Riley and his baby are kicked off the Golden Spur ranch in a rain storm by the sadistic family of his deceased wife, they have nothing. Little money, no bags, nothing. He is from Australia, so it isn’t like they figured he would get picked up right away. So when they are spreading lies about his leaving the ranch, where did they expect him to be? Dead? It certainly seemed that way. Also, Andrew (Karen’s brother) is the one who dumps Riley and Kai off in the rain. Riley says this was supposed to be his best friend in the beginning of the story. Later, he tells how he was used basically as slave labor and never let off the ranch. He met Karen online, so how did the bigoted Andrew ever get to be considered his best friend? There is insta-love here, zero to forever in a matter of days. Noah is a good character, but it all seems a little too simple. I will give this author another try before deciding what I think of the writing. This story just wasn’t for me.
