This was a good story with great main characters and that includes Colt who is Boone and Maggie's son. Maggie was unusual in her own right and tougher than she gives herself credit for. She is also loving and has raised her son well with her only real help being
Brigetta. Her life has had several life-changing things happen in it that caused her to change her life's path more than once.
There is also some good supporting people in the story. I really liked the second chance boys, who were rescued and are a part of the Sweet Creek Ranch. Those boys" who ranged in ages added so much to the story.
Emotions, adventure, hot attraction between the M.C.'s and danger play a big part in the story. As does loyalty and a desire to protect. Boone was big on not staying around at the ranch for long because of his desire to protect those he cares about. Many at the ranch don't understand that at first and just think he's someone who runs away, without getting close to many of them.
One of my favorite people was Colt's nanny, Swedish immigrant, Brigetta Lyndtz. She was fierce, loving with the heart of a fierce warrior. She also adds some humor with some of her sayings. I'm happy to see that she gets her own story in the next book.
The story has a H.E.A. ending for now. Because things do get settled between Boone, Maggie and Colt. But there still is a danger out there for the people of this town that hasn't been fully overturned yet.
