Jewel Cade wants two things—
One is Heath Loveland
The Rocky Mountain cowgirl has her heart set on becoming range boss of the Cade ranch. But first she has to accompany the son of her family’s longtime enemy—and her off-limits secret crush—on a cattle drive across Colorado. Discovering Heath shares her attraction only makes for a rockier road. Because Jewel has a sneaking suspicion that if she drops her guard, the cowboy might ride off with her heart.
My Review: 5 StarsKaren Rock does a fantastic job of portraying her character's feelings with vivid imagery that completely sings to my soul. I've read this series from the start and have loved getting to know individual characters in an intimate way. Everyone has a story and it's so much fun to discover each member of these feuding families, as they all seem to be old friends.Speaking of the feud, I don't know that any family has had such a long-standing hatred with another since the Hatfield's and McCoy's! As the layers are slowly unraveled throughout the series, the heart of the matter is revealed and there are still residual effects to deal with.I thoroughly enjoyed the small-town, cowboy feel to the story and loved the grit and determination of both Heath and Jewel, as they work hard to prove themselves and to follow their individual dreams. Jewel is rough and tough, with the soft center. She has issues to work through, as does Heath, who is strong, handsome, and talented. I could just picture him crooning "Folsom Prison Blues" in his gravelly voice and actually had to go listen to it for awhile, while I read.The chemistry simmers from the start and the gradual release was well worth the wait. I think this one is my favorite of the set so far! I loved every juicy minute of this book and I can't wait for more.Content: very mild language; mild romance (kissing)
