Reminiscent of the movie Gaslight, there’s a bit of a psychological thriller element. This book is a little bit different than your typical Western. I really liked it.

I've been following the Montana Cahills series for some time and given it mixed reviews, and I'm afraid that will hold true for this sixth title in the series as well, since it felt far more like a traditional gothic novel than a contemporary novel of romantic suspense, and I'm giving it 3-stars.

To begin with, what rancher and which dream? I imagine that the title refers to Hawk Cahill's dream of a happy life with the woman he loved and lost, but although he's mentioned quite often, he really isn't a major player until nearly the end of this novel, and I kept wishing the author had used alternating narration so that we knew more about him and what he was thinking and feeling.

As the novel opens, Drey (Dierdre) is en route to the home of her new husband, billionaire businessman, Ethan Baxter, who is not a rancher, and as soon as see sets her eyes upon the enormous, multi-level, ultra-modern, monstrosity of a home her new husband built for her, in her hometown of Gilt Edge, Montana, she has a premonition, "You will die in this house." Okay--that one line sets the stage for plenty of suspense.

We soon learn that Ethan Baxter threw a lot of surprises at Drey, from announcing their engagement in her hometown newspaper before he even proposed to her, to marrying her in her hometown too. Still broken-hearted about Hawk Cahill, the boy she loved through high school and college and then lost over a misunderstanding, each carrying on their anger with each other for years, she allowed herself to be swept off her feet by polished, New York businessman, Ethan, expecting to live in his NYC penthouse, only to learn at her wedding reception that he planned for her to live in his state-of-the-art monstrosity of a house in Gilt Edge, where she'd no doubt run into her ex-lover Hawk Cahill.

At the wedding reception, also in Gilt Edge, Drey felt odd and rather fuzzy, and since she doesn't drink alcohol, she even declined the champagne served for their wedding toast. After the reception, when Ethan takes her to their new house, she's barely conscious, and while waiting for her new husband to come to bed for their wedding night, instead he disappears without a trace, leaving his car in the driveway, but no note, no mention of why he'd deserted her on their wedding night, and Drey is too fuzzy-minded to do much about about it but go to bed alone.

The next morning, still woozy, Drey finds Ethan is gone, but his younger brother, Jet, is in residence, a brother that Ethan never mentioned having. And the weirdness keeps getting weirder. If you've seen the classic film, Gaslight, you know where this story is going--the parallels are beyond obvious, from Drey's feeling that she's been drugged, to finding what appears to be a human thumb in the garbage disposal, to finding a dead mouse at the bottom of her water bottle--all events denied by Jet, and all of which lead Drey to believe she's losing her mind.

When Hawk is out riding one day, he sees all the house lights turn off and hears Drey screaming, after she finds a dead mouse in her drinking water, and he rides to her rescue, but nothing she tells him appears to be true. The severed finger she saw Jet put in the freezer has disappeared, the water bottle now on her nightstand doesn't contain a mouse, but a bottle of the same meds she was once addicted to in college is suddenly there on her nightstand, and Hawk notices that Drey's speech is slurred. He even presumes that Drey is being gaslighted, but why? Since she's now a married woman, Hawk knows she's off limits, and she's still standing by the thought that Ethan will soon be back and things will be fine--and she couldn't be more wrong.

There's no shortage of strangeness in this novel, and no shortage of suspense, but once Drey stops taking what she believes to be aspirin, and her mind begins to clear, I found her behavior rather odd, and found her to be rather spineless. Since disappearing on their wedding night, Ethan has made no attempt to contact her, yet Jet tells her that Ethan had to rush off to Mexico City on business and will be back soon and she just accepts that explanation, not angered at all by the fact that her absentee husband hasn't bothered to call her at all. Yes, Hawk comes to her rescue more than once, and has reported these strange events to his brother, Flint, the town sheriff, who is also soon contacted by the FBI, and they too are apparently suspicious of Ethan and have been watching the house, yet they never saw Ethan leave.

While the mystery and suspense certainly kept me hooked and wondering what was going on, there was very little romance in this romantic suspense novel. When we're finally told what drove Hawk and Drey apart many years ago, I didn't find the explanation all that believable or credible, and kept wondering why on earth these two characters didn't talk it through at the time and support one another.

In addition, there's a secondary story line in this novel, a carry over from an earlier novel about the cook at the Stagecoach Saloon, Billie Dee, and the daughter she gave up for adoption years ago, and her ongoing search for her daughter. It was a distraction from the main plot of this novel and I wish the author had given this matter it's own novel, or at least novella.

While I'm all for a good, suspenseful read, I found myself less than enthralled by Drey, and kept wishing she'd grow a spine, get angry, and do what I would have done if my husband disappeared on our wedding night and never contacted me--I'd have the marriage annulled and leave his house of horrors for good. Why she kept insisting that Ethan would soon be home and they'd work it out was simply too naive to be believable. Additionally, if Hawk never stopped loving Drey, why did he make no attempt to rekindle their relationship in all the years they were apart. He's certainly shown to be a man of action, yet never even bothered to resolve his issues with Drey. Sorry, but I just wasn't buying it.

If you enjoy mystery/suspense novels, you'll probably enjoy this novel more than I did, and while it's not a bad read, I missed the romance, and I expected more than a mere sidewalk conversation between Drey and Hawk to solve their differences after all their years apart. It was just too little too late for this reader, as was the reason behind all the strange goings-on at Ethan's mansion.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

Imagine facing your wedding day with dread. That’s how Deirdre “Drey” is feeling now that the festivities are over and faced moving into Mountain Crest with her new husband Ethan. Arriving at the monstrosity Ethan designed and built in her hometown of Gilt Edge Montana, dread isn’t the only emotion Drey is experiencing. Candidly Drey is frightened and having visions of her demise. Mountain Crest is more like a prison or mausoleum than a home.
The man Drey should have married, Hawk Cahill, is equally appalled at this behemoth Ethan built right in his own back yard. But Hawk had let his stubborn pride rule his decision to break up with the love of his life Drey. And now instead of living the high life in NYC she’s back.
Drey came from middle class beginning and should have been awestruck by Mountain Crest but instead she felt ill and paralyzed with fear. Sure it was just her overactive imagination Drey hoped these feeling would pass once comfortable at her new home given time. But time was something she didn’t have.
Hawks family walked on eggshells since the news of Drey and Ethan’s wedding. All too aware of how this would affect him even if he staunchly dismissed their concern.
Unbeknownst to Hawk and his family Drey is having difficulty coming to terms in her new home. A monstrous multi-level high tech mansion that did not suit her taste. This was Ethan’s vision but she held out hope that with her input it could become home.
Outward appearances speak loudly and for Hawk and others they wish Drey well not aware that something is amiss – something perhaps quite sinister. As strange events become common Hawk is unfortunately enmeshed in whatever Drey is involved in as either an innocent party or worst case a participant. He can’t fully disengage his feelings for Drey. And now Drey is drawing him into a mystery that has no notable clues. Just the sense of foreboding that grows daily.
What is going on in what the townsfolk call Baxter’s Folly? Who is to blame? Why does it seem like Drey is the target? And most important – where is Ethan who still hasn’t been seen since returning home with his new bride.
Pay attention. B.J. Daniels leaves quite a trail of clues for the armchair detective in us. Forage through the muck and mire to get to the bottom of this case.
Facts are facts. Ethan’s missing, creepy brother Jet appears and is quite at home in Mountain Crest, a thumb is found in the garbage disposal – and is later missing. Drey is becoming totally unhinged and frightened and Hawks sister Lillie is on him to help. Drey herself can’t explain what is going on – is she hallucinating, drugged or simply letting her imagination make her crazy and paranoid. Hawk doesn’t think so. And neither Drey nor Hawk are prepared for just how huge this case is going to be. The law is looking into Ethan’s activities now and Drey is one of their suspects.
Certainly not the welcome home to Gilt Edge that Drey had hoped for. It was a mistake to marry Ethan but the ensuing events are going to cause more problems than Drey could ever think of.
Creepy and scary are two good words for my feelings for the story in RANCHERS DREAM by B.J. Daniels. Once again Daniels has brought to life some super characters – both good and bad it seems. With each turn of the page RANCHERS DREAM get more engaging and this page turner’s conclusion will not disappoint.

An enjoyable book but at times quite obvious in where it was going. Though it is new, I kept getting the occasional impression I had read it before. Difficult to not have that happen when you write prolifically.

I typically love BJ Daniels books but this one was a bit.... weird.

You had this great RS going on interspersed with story that felt like it should be its own book instead of a secondary. I found myself skimming over those to get back to the super tense RS going on.

Really hope the next book is more balanced as I pick her books up whenever I see them.

This intriguing volume in the Cahill series was taut with suspense and included a generous dollop of second chance romance. There were several compelling mysteries to solve and secrets to reveal. The evidence was muddled concerning the incredibly naïve Drey being set-up, gaslighted, or losing her mind, and although I had strong suspicions as to who was behind her tribulations, I couldn’t discern the why. And I loved that. Ms. Daniels has skillfully penned a crazy good mystery as her writing kept me attentive, on-edge, and highly curious. The separate storylines wove in and out until combining seamlessly into a satisfying conclusion. The final installment of this beloved series is in the works and I look forward to seeing how this crafty writer wraps things up.

Dreys husband goes missing the night of their wedding and was told the news that she'd be living closer to her hometown rather then New York like the she led to believe to her dismay. Shes got a bad feeling about this home and on top of that her husbands brother seems like he might be here for a while and shes not comfortable with this situation. She seems to sense something is wrong and the longer shes there shes questioning things like her sanity and might need her ex boyfriend Hawk to help her out.

I really enjoyed this book there was just so much going on. But the thing is there is a mini story within this book that does nothing for the main story that is going on and becomes a sort of distraction since it really doesn't really have a connection to the MC's of the story. I think the author should just make that story as what it is a side story not alternating that way the readers can concentrate on what is presently going on.

Other then that I loved the storyline and the mystery that was going on. I loved seeing the connections the further I got into the book. I thought it was interesting getting to know Drey's POV her questioning her sanity as strange and unusual things occur thought out the book. I loved how protective Hawk was even if they were no longer together and she was married he didn't have to help her the way that he did. I thought it was interesting getting to see their story and why they were not together anymore. Overall it was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

Turning, she saw a crow staring at her from the balcony with its beady little dark eyes. The bird flapped its silken ebony wings at her and hopped to the chair closest to the open door. Wasn’t there some superstition about crows and death?

Rancher’s Dream by B.J. Daniels is a brilliantly concocted masterpiece of western romantic suspense. It is the sixth installment in the author’s Montana Cahills series. However, this tale works very well as a standalone read if that is your preference. As with the other Montana Cahill books, this installment is about one of the Cahill siblings. The focus this time around is on Hawk Cahill and his long-time love, Deidre Hunter. The ominous mood is set from the beginning.

As the story opens, Dierdre “Drey” Hunter Baxter has given up on ever reconciling with her true love, Hawk Cahill, and married Ethan, a handsome, mega-rich businessman, after a whirlwind courtship. She was surprised at their wedding reception by her husband’s announcement that they would not be living in his penthouse apartment in New York City miles away from Hawk as she’d expected. Instead, her husband plans to have them reside in Mountain Crest, or as the locals call it, Baxter's Folly – an ultra-modern, high-tech glass monstrosity built into a mountain overlooking Gilt Edge. That’s only one of many revelations to come as her new husband disappears without a trace on their wedding night whilst a stranger shows up the next morning claiming to be her husband’s brother. Meanwhile, in a second interwoven thread, Billie Dee’s quest to find the biological daughter she had given up for adoption progresses.

Rancher’s Dream is a second chance at love story with just the right amount of sexual tension. That said, the suspense takes center stage for most of the tale with premonitions and seriously bad vibes adding to the ever-present danger in the unfolding story line. Drey and Hawk share a long history together but a tragedy and mistrust drove them apart. Then, they were both too stubborn to bridge the gap between them.

Even so, when Drey, now married to another man, believes she’s losing her mind and starts having hallucinations and periods which she can’t remember, it’s her ex-boyfriend, Hawk, who she turns to in her distress. I loved how Hawk couldn’t help himself as he was all there for her despite his own misgivings and the wall between them. The characters are believable and Drey’s distress is tangible as she is frightened out of her mind. Fans of the series will enjoy the updates on previous favorite characters which are interspersed throughout.

Following please find a few of my favorite lines from Rancher’s Dream:

You will die in this house.
---

You’ve made a terrible mistake.
---

Here she was on her wedding night and nothing about it was as she’d once dreamed. Dierdre “Drey” Hunter Baxter. Married to the wrong man.
---

Everything was going to be all right, she told herself. Every woman got wedding jitters, right? Every woman felt a little nauseated at the thought of her first love on her wedding day. Every woman saw herself lying face down, dead in a pond.
---

What man didn’t join his wife on their wedding night?

B.J. Daniels is an awesome storyteller. Rancher’s Dream is a page-turning thriller that you won’t want to put down. Just when you can’t breathe from the building suspense, she provides a bit of relief with a short respite via Billy Dee’s story. This book kept me up way past my bedtime as sleep was impossible until I’d followed the mystery to its shocking conclusion. Teeming with twists and turns, I was kept guessing until the end. Now, I can’t wait for Cyrus Cahill’s story coming in November!

I really enjoyed this book. It started out very different than I expected. This is my first B.J. Daniels book. I was hooked from the first page. I loved the twists and the unexpected things that happened in this book. It was almost like a mystery book with some romance. And that romance was a second chance romance which I just love! Hawk is my dream guy. He was so sweet and I loved that no matter what anyone said he loved Drey and knew who she was. He never doubted her. I loved how simple Drey was. She was pretty much taken advantage of by Ethan. I didn´t like him. I always had a bad feeling there was something he was up to. And then enter Jet, Ethan´s brother who Drey never even knew existed. That is some shady stuff. The author told this story so well. I was intrigued and was dying to know what the hell was going on. I couldn´t read fast enough. I was very happy with the ending and the whole book altogether. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a mystery with some romance. I can´t wait to read more from this series!!

I received a copy of RANCHER'S DREAM from the Author and Publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.

This story is the second of the Cahill brothers from Gilt Edge Montana that I have read. Both have been full of suspense with a twist of romance. Rancher's Dream is definitely filled with suspense.

Our heroine, Drey is swept up into a whirlwind romance and finds herself married to a billionaire to get away from long time love Hawk Cahill. Hawk broke her heart and Drey thought she would never find love again. Especially not in Gilt Edge. Yet married to the Easterner, she did not find herself being swept away to New York as she had thought. Oh no. Her husband had surprised her with a mansion just outside of town.

Her wedding night is when she realized things were not what they appeared to be. Who comes to the rescue? Not her husband...but the one man she is still in love with, Hawk Cahill. The one man her body still responds to. Is Hawk real or just a figment of her imagination like so many other things? Several of her premonitions have come to pass. Will her premonitions have come true. Will this last one come true too?

I can't tell you if it did or not. You'll have to purchase the book. I can tell you your purchase will be well worth the price. The characters are intriguing. Daniels keeps you guessing till the very end as to motive and who actually did what and who owns what in the end. She even sets up the next book. I mean, with all that is going on, who has time to do that? This is one romantic suspense that you should purchase! I couldn't put it down!

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an fair and honest review.

I've read a lot of B.J. Daniels and loved them. The Montana Cahill's Series started off really good, but just hasn't lived up to its' full potential. This story of Hawk and Drey started out rather strangely and ended with the requisite HEA, but, overall, there was a lot of repetition and several TSTL moments along with a lot of "that just doesn't happen".

Deidre “Drey” and Hawk Cahill were high school sweethearts who went off to college where their grand romance went off the rails. Hawk can't forgive Drey, nor can he move on from what happened. He is literally stuck.

Drey has waited for years for Hawk to forgive her, but he is a stubborn Cahill to the core. When Ethan, a wealthy businessman sweeps into her life, Drey decides she is through waiting for Hawk to come around. She is looking forward to leaving Gilt Edge, Montana behind for the bright lights of New York City. On her wedding day all her expectations come crashing down when Ethan deserts her on their wedding night.

Alone and disoriented in the sprawling, mountain top, modern mansion, Drey begins to doubt her sanity. When Ethan's brother, Jet, suddenly appears she is even more off kilter. Ethan has never told her he has a brother. When Hawk hears Drey screaming in the middle of the night, he breaks in and finds her totally disoriented and in serious need of his help. Now, Hawk had to decide to forgive Drey or stay out of her life for good.

I've really been enjoying this series about the Cahill family and was super excited to see Hawk's story. In the previous books Hawk has always seen a bit unknown and really focused on the ranch. But wow! Turns out he had quite a lot going on behind that quiet façade. This was a read that pulled me in from the beginning. I liked Drey though I did question her judgement a bit for marrying a man that was so obviously sinister despite the pretty window dressing but even that didn't go quite as I expected. The suspense is well done and kept me turning pages and I loved the characters. B.J. Daniels is an author that has become in the last year or two and she always delivers! If you're looking for a romantic suspense with a touch of cowboy-ness you really must try this book and then give the rest of the series a try! While this is the 6th book in the series you can easily jump in here!

Another great addition to the Montana Cahills series! This is book number six. B.J. Daniels does a great job combining romance and suspense. Highly recommended.

Oh my lanta have I found yet another author to binge read? Yes comrades I do believe I have! I am completely blown away, I am in love! This was one of those fast paced, really feel good swoonage kind of reads that makes me love romance genre.

I have a few confessions too… while we are at it! Firstly I went into this thinking I would get nothing but a full on cowboy swoon romance, which I would definitely not complain about, but this novel honestly blindsided me. The romantic suspense of the characters, their dynamics and the budding plot dimensions was refreshing, it was such an amazing read. At many points it wasn’t just Drey questioning her sanity but honestly me – the entire build was creep yet utterly satisfying. And when I wasn’t questioning the unraveling insanity that was the suspenseful driven storyline of Rancher’s Dream, I was swooning for the couple.

Though I LOVED their romance, there was a bit of a point I have to admit it lacked a flare for me that I would have really enjoyed seeing. Because this is a second romance, one with high school sweethearts there wasn’t much in the way of their past. Something I would have really liked to have explored. Don’t get me wrong, it is there but it is slightly vague and there is just a missing sort of essence that I think should have been added to really help aid in the growth of not only the entire plot but the romance itself between Hawk and Drey. They were so sweet and caring, just connected and I think more of their past would have been even better.

Not only did I fall head over heels in love with Drey and Hawk, but it was also the secondary characters who really topped the cake for me. There were such amazing supportive characters that flowed well with the dynamics of the plot and our couple. Nothing was overshadowed nor did they overwhelm the romance. It just… meshed.

I mean honestly… holy nuggets comrades this was a really great read. I enjoyed every minute of it. This is definitely one for the recommendations. If you enjoy complex situations, slow build with a suspenseful air about your romance this is definitely up your alley. Drey and Hawk were absolutely stunning characters, I cannot gush enough about their chemistry, their trust and respect as the plot thicken around them – it was really beautiful.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
There were so many turns + twists in this book.
I am not sure if Deidre was marrying Ethan for the right reasons.
She was still in love w/ Hawk, and Hawk was still in love w/ Deidre.
What are these 2 to do?
The storytelling + the character's build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!

Rancher's Dream was full of suspense and mystery-much more than I expected! I thought it would be a story about a woman who has to move back to her home town and faces a man she used to love. I was very, very wrong. It was a good sort of surprise!

Drey has returned to her tiny hometown for her wedding. She thought by marrying Ethan she would be living the high life in Manhattan or something. However, after her wedding she finds herself alone in their new home because Ethan has disappeared. I thought this would be a story about a woman abandoned by her husband slowly falling back in love with her first love. Nope. Strange things start happening. Thankfully, Hawk lives next door. Honestly, this book kept me guessing the whole time. I felt like I was right on the cusp of figuring it out, only to realize I was just pulling on a thread to nothing.

My biggest struggle with Drey and Hawk was their initial break up a miscommunication. I loathe that trope and I find it really irritating. I think it creates this lingering bitterness that a conversation could clear up.

If you like second chance romances with a big, heaping dose of crazy mystery, Rancher's Dream is a great pick! Like I said, this book was not at all what I expected but it was a delightful find!

Rancher's Dream by B.J. Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one had it all. There is mystery, danger and a romance that has been on hold for years. Another of the Cahills bites the dust but not before he almost loses the woman he has loved for years. This starts with Drey getting married to a high powered business man who disappears on their wedding night. There is danger to Drey and the only one she feels she can turn to is Hank. They finally solve their problems as they work to discover what is going on. This is very much a thriller with a side story about a mother finding the daughter she gave away years ago. Nice match to the series.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

BJ Daniels has done it again! I should have realised what an intriguing, fast paced romantic suspense this would turn out to be - a really enthralling page turner, IMHO. It features Hawk, one of the Cahill brothers, and his first love ‘Drey’ - Deidre Hunter. They were together throughout their teens but split after tragedy and misunderstandings tore them apart. Now she’s getting married to an out of town business man, Ethan, and Hawk is determined not to intervene even though he still loves her. At the wedding reception, Ethan announces that he and his bride will be living in the newly constructed home, Mountain Crest, on the outskirts of Gilt Edge rather than his penthouse apartment in New York which is where Drey had expected to be moving. After that shock and seeing inside her new home for the first time another surprise is in store for Drey as her new husband mysteriously disappears on her wedding night leaving no clue to where he has gone or why. Drey starts to question her own sanity as crazy things start happening in her new fortress home situated right next to where Hawk lives. Hawk can’t resist coming to her rescue and he believes her. Just what is happening to her - and why? Where has her new husband disappeared to? Can she trust his brother, Jet, who just turns up out of the blue? There are definitely more questions than answers in this story and it is a real page turner as you seek to uncover the answers.

Interwoven into this is a second thread involving Billie Dee who is searching for the daughter she was forced to give up as a baby. There are hints, clues and discoveries to be made as the story progresses. I found it an intriguing read with great characters, unexpected humorous moments and very dramatic scenarios. It is a great read and works well as a standalone. I’ve only read one other book in this series so far but definitely intend catching up on the others when my tbr pile is lower. I’m very impressed with how the author manages to keep the reader on tenterhooks in this suspense filled story and I’ll definitely be looking out for more books by them in future.

I requested and was given a copy of this book, via NetGalley. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it.

I was not expecting this book to be honest. I thought it was going to be a sweet cowboy romance and it was not at all what I thought it would be but I'm gonna be real with you, I don't remember reading the blurb because it is pretty telling... anyway this book was refreshing. It was a romantic suspense with more suspense than romance but still enough to keep me satisfied. I don't read anything without a little romance in it.

Some of the events in the book kinda of creeped me out and honestly I had no idea what was really happening. I kept plotting but never managed to hit the nail on the head, which is surprising cause I've gotten pretty good at figuring stuff out in books. Or maybe some are just too predictable but this one wasn't at all, not to me at least. I honestly had no clue what was going on most of the time. And I really enjoyed not knowing until the very end, it kept me glued to the story waiting to find out clues and trying to figure it out myself. It was interesting and entertaining.

When it comes to the romance, it's a second chance that kind of leaves you wanting more... I wish there was a bit more of the romance plot where things were better explained, maybe POVs in the past, that would have been cool. It was missing that real angst I love in a second chance romance honestly.

One thing I also enjoyed was the side character's plot line, that story was sweet. Overall I enjoyed the book but it honestly wasn't one of those books being part of a series even if it is a standalone, that had me jumping to read the rest of the series. Which is what usually happens. I'll just keep it at this one and be happy with it.

This a story about second chances and B.J. Daniels does it very well!!!

Drey and Hawk have a long history together but she is now married to another man, Ethan, who is mega-rich and has built a house in Drey's hometown.

They have the wedding and Ethan brings her to their home, that she has never even been in before and then disappears on their wedding night. Then Jet, Ethan's brother, who Drey has never heard of shows up.

Drey thinks she is losing her mind. She starts having hallucinations, she can't remember things that have happened, she sees people who aren't "really' there...She needs help and Hawk steps in to assist. It doesn't matter that she is married, she is afraid, alone and needs someone to protect her from these things that are happening in her life.

Suspense and so many questions running through your mind as you are reading this. Where is Ethan, what is going on with the FBI, why is Jet around... so many questions and this book keeps you guessing as to what is going on and why.

I had not read any of the previous installments to this series and felt that I was able to read this as a stand-along with no problems. I do believe that I am going to have to get the rest of the series because this book was very well written and I now want more!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are of my own. Thank you to Net Galley and Harlequin!!
