I was in the mood for a light romantic read, and this one had just enough love, passion, and drama. The characters had depth and some had damage, but they were not dark enough to be crippled by it and bring the story down. There was definitely some dramatic tension and emotional scenes, but not a lot of angst. There were a few times when I thought it was almost too sweet and Josh was too good to be true. But then he would show caveman tendencies or other actions that would seem more realistic. And it became more dramatic and emotional as the book went on. It was told in both points of view so we could see what they thought of each other when younger and how it had progressed to their new situation. 

This book had hot ranchers, a military man, a sexy lawyer and strong, spirited women. The majestic Montana ranch scenery was almost a character in itself. The side characters that will be featured in the next two books were introduced and we learned some of their history and issues. Zack is Josh' twin brother who just got back from Afghanistan, is going through a divorce, and trying to forge a better relationship with his son. Seth was dealing with problems stemming from his Dad's absence and his mother's treatment of him. He really needed to find support, love, and understanding. Jillian is Cara's best friend who has been hurt by men and lost in love. Lauren has her own  male issues that she is dealing with that are causing her worry. Ty is Josh and Cara's lawyer friend who has his eye on one of the women already, but it is complicated. I already like these characters and couples and I am looking forward to Seducing Lauren and Falling for Jillian featuring them. This was a sweet, engaging beginning to this new series. 

Thanks to Kristen Proby for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
