Romance
Is he an enemy?
Dillon Young is proud that she inherited
her aunt’s ranch. The problem: someone is trying to run her off and is
willing to do whatever it takes. Strange, dangerous things keep
happening. Dillion suspects her no-good neighbor and fellow wealthy
rancher Hank Stephens. Never a man to get his hands dirty, he sends
others to get the job done. So, when the irresistible Cal Bennett is
found passed out drunk on her property, Dillion is on high alert. Until
someone takes a shot at her and Cal springs to her rescue. When the
hard-bodied, no-nonsense-talking cowboy points out that she may need
some help, Dillion is inclined to reluctantly agree.
Or a lover?
Waking
up on a stranger’s property with a shotgun in his face is not Cal
Bennett’s idea of a good time. Never mind that the person on the other
end of the barrel is one of the most fiercely beautiful women he has
ever seen. Things get more interesting when he finds himself shielding her from
flying bullets. It’s clear that this smart, savvy woman could use a
hand and Cal is all too happy to lend any part of his body she requires.
His proposal: pose as lovers until they find out who is after her
ranch. As the danger rises and secrets are revealed, the passion
explodes between them and there is no turning back.
4.5 STARS
What a surprise this story turned out to be. Starting from the very first when Dillon found that stranger on her property. She definitely wasn't going to be welcoming him, not with all the trouble she's been having on her ranch.
Cal was deep in trouble when he woke up not knowing how in the world he ended up trespassing on Dillon's property. And this lady was demanding answers, answers that he didn't have.
Dillon and Cal cautiously develop a working relationship. But Dillon isn't so sure that she should trust him. A romance does start until all the dangers escalate from so many different areas. Someone wants Dillon dead and some really scaring things have been happening.
The surprises just kept coming which kept me interested. It was just so unpredictable what was going to happen next. About the time things started to settle down a bit, that's when another surprise was exposed. That was so well done. It kept me jumping wondering who was the good guys and who wasn't.
I enjoyed how the story ended and that it included a good Epilogue.
