In the heart of Ransom Canyon, sometimes the right match for
a lonely soul is the one you least expect.
Dan Brigman may not lead the most exciting life, but he’s
proud of what he’s achieved: he’s a respected lawman, and he’s raised a bright,
talented daughter on his own. But finding a lone, sparkly blue boot in the
middle of a deserted highway gets him thinking maybe the cowgirl who lost it is
exactly the shake-up he needs.
After losing her baby girl, Brandi Malone felt like her soul
died along with her daughter. Now singing in small-town bars to make ends meet,
she’s fine being a drifter—until a handsome sheriff makes her believe that
parking her boots under his bed is a better option.
College grad Lauren Brigman has just struck out on her own
in downtown Dallas when a troubling phone call leads her back home to
Crossroads. Her hometown represents her family, friends and deepest hopes, but
also her first love, Lucas Reyes. Will Lauren’s homecoming be another
heartbreak, or a second chance for her and Lucas?
You all know I love romance and I was looking forward to Wild Horse Springs. There is a lot more packed into this story than the synopsis would lead you to believe. I think fans of this series will enjoy this return to Ransom Canyon. Unfortunately, I just didn't enjoy the story. While I did finish it, I had a hard time connecting with it. Part of that could be because I haven't read any of the other book sin the series. I felt like there were a lot of back stories with the characters that I was missing.
I felt like the story was all over the place. There were too many story lines and points of view. I didn't like the "love triangle" between Lauren, Lucas and Tim. I didn't feel like it really added to the story. Dan and Brandi were supposed to be the main romance, but I didn't buy into it. I felt like I needed more of them together. The story line with the two rangers was kind of stalkerish and weird.
As I said I think fans of the series will enjoy this one. I didn't think that this did well as a stand alone. But, give it a shot. You may like it. It just wasn't for me.
