Synopsis From Goodreads:
There’s complicated. And there’s Rowen Sterling.
After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.
Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.
Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl—happily-right-now is a stretch—so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls.
When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked behind the walls she’s kept up for years, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.

My Review:
Rating:
This was a very sweet and heartwarming story of two seemingly different people that find they have more in common then either of them thought.
We follow Rowan a young trouble girl with a dark and scary past that is dumped at a ranch in Montana, by her coldhearted mother. We watch her grow as a person because of one very sexy ranch hand, Jesse. Oh yeah, and he's also the rancher's son. As the story goes on we come to find that Jesse's past isn't all sunshine and rainbows the way Rowan believes, his past is just as scary.
I enjoyed watching the two grow together and become strong people because of each other. However, there wasn't much that set this story apart from any other romance novel. I was wait for there to be more development between the characters. It would have been nice to see Rowan share a heartwarming moment with Neil, Jesse's father as oppose to only Rose and Jesse. I wanted to see more of Neil to understand is character better. :)
I was waiting for a more climactic moment other than a bunch of little action packed moments, and that only occurred in the last four or five chapters.
That being said this book wasn't horrible and now that I have finished it and discovered it was actually a series, the ending makes more sense and I plan to read the others in the future. I would like to know what kind of future is in store for Rowen and Jesse.
This was a free Kindle amazon purchase and even though it wasn't one of my favorite books, I'm glad I gave it a shot. :)
