Give me a rancher every dang day of the week! Marshall certainly opened a new door for me in terms of tropes I would love to continue reading and I certainly can't wait to see what is next for this family.
Sophia and Marshall are certainly complex characters. Sophia has been in a terrible foster home situation for the last 5 years. Having finally escaped, she is looking forward to starting a new life somewhere-anywhere really, that is far away from her foster home. After stumbling upon Ridge Valley and finding out that the local motel has no other rooms for the night, she happens to hear about the Wild Thorn Ranch which is still closed for the season. In desperate need for a place to lay her head for a night, she decides to take the risk and stay in one of the cabins. What she could have never expected is what she would end up finding the next morning when the sun rose.
Marshall is not into relationships. He is quite content at having flings here and there and letting that be it due to his ownership of the ranch. Imagine his surprise when one morning he discovers that there is a squatter in one of the cabins on his ranch. Not only is this girl there illegally, but she has met his sister and could be working for his Aunt soon. This could spell trouble for him because not only is she now building a friendship with his sister, but she is gorgeous too-and much too young for him. As time goes on however, there is something about this "Little Felon" that he just can't seem to stay away from.
This story is faced paced and very easy to read. There were many points where I wanted to throw the kindle-most of them coming from Marhsall's behavior and his inability to realize what he had in front of him. If you really love a brooding MC, this is your guy. He certainly isn't one to rush into admitting his feelings but his actions will tell you everything you need to know. It is also really fun to read the banter between Sophia and Marshall. Sophia is not one to keep her sass in check or back down when she doesn't quite get her way which leads to some really interest situations both characters find themselves in. Both characters know how to push each other to the limits which leads to some explosive and spicy scenes that leave you certainly wanting more.
It was also really nice to see Sophia grow and discover missing pieces of her that she hasn't had for a very long time. She may not have had the best teen years, but she certainly is learning with the Wilder family to trust again and that not all people are bad and have ulterior motives. It was nice to see her mold herself into a family that, besides Marshall in the beginning, have welcomed her with open arms.
This was a fantastic read and I can't wait to see what happens next with this family when the twin's story comes out- something tells me it is going to be just as fast paced and spicy as this one- and hopefully we get to see more of Marshall and Sophia.
