Two negatives for me about this book. Number 1, the cover in no way matches the story. Dev has red hair and there is no dog in the story so why put one on the cover. Number 2, Andy complained about being abandoned as an infant far too much. She didn't even find out she was adopted until she was 12, so why is it so traumatic that it is brought up repeatedly. I enjoyed the story other than those two things. Gotta say the abandonment almost ruined it though.

This is a phenomenal series. Cowboys, Cowgirls, military Vets. Meeting under fire could their relationship last. Fast forward fate has brought them back together. Dev and Andy have a great story.

McKenna brings a bit more than the usual romance pages in Wind River Protector. History started while Andy Whitcomb and Dev Mitchell were in the service behind enemy lines fighting to escape a gruesome death. Upon their rescue instead of being able to express the feelings that had been suppressed they loose touch with each other. Dealing with not only the danger of her job; Andy is homesick for Wind River and decides it is time to return. Many sweet pages along with challenges grace the pages of this novel. A copy of this book was provided by Kensington Books via Netgalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion." THIS WORKS FINE AS A STAND ALONE READ.
