Can a hurting boy help two broken people find their way back to love ?
Lissa Frye returns home from the Navy hoping to find a different future—one which includes a husband, marriage, and a family, until news from her sister impacts Lissa’s personal life and derails her plans.
Kurt McKintrick, having lost his best friend to an IED in Afghanistan, has returned to help the man's mother run a horse rescue ranch. Images of war plague him, and thoughts of anyone else he might love falling victim to an untimely end, distance him from the person most likely to help.
Eleven-year-old Jayden Clarke seeks to fill the ache in his heart from his father’s death two years before. But his life is turned upside down when the rancher who befriended him is found dead, the horses neglected, and the dog missing. When authorities arrive to investigate, Lissa and Kurt, estranged after a former relationship, are forced to meet again. Lissa must confront images from her past and Kurt struggles to live with his present truth.
Will Jayden be the catalyst that draws Lissa and Kurt back together for a happily ever after?

Have you ever read a book and just not known what you thought of it? I kinda liked the story (I think) and at times the characters but there were a few things that really bugged me.
The horse’s POV (point of view) was super odd to me. I think in some instances it could be pulled off but when it started I was completely lost. I’m still not sure from which horse I was seeing the viewpoint of.
The story was a bit different to me and had aspects that I liked. Lissa, although stubborn, was great at her job and I loved getting to know her. I loved Kurt, though like Lissa, he was stubborn. So they were always butting heads

Your review makes the story sound intriguing. 🙂 It makes me wonder how they get past themselves to find each other.
You’ll have to tell me your thoughts if you red it!!!
Thanks for an intriguing review. I love this kind of story!
I have read books that I wasn’t sure whether I liked it or not. The horse POV sounds really odd.
It was odd but it was only the once so I was able to deal with it lol
Yes, thanks. Definitely sounds interesting. And Patricia Lee, from all I’ve read about her and from her (mostly FB, not my usual Googled research), seems a sweet, intelligent lady. I grew up an AF brat and then served in the AF Reserves for 8 years, so this story has personal appeal. 🙂
I’ll have to look into her other books..this is the first I’ve read by her!
And oh wow that’s awesome that it has personal appeal!! Thank you for your service!! ❤️
