Wendy's Review
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Ever have a character reach out from a book and grab your heart? Well that is what Wyatt did to me. Boy does this man need a big bear hug and some sweet snuggling. Brokenhearted from past deception and loss, he struggles to get on with his life, but never admitting that he is lonely. Oh he makes a big show out of getting through day by day working on his ranch with his brothers but underneath all that hot rugged cowboy exterior is a lonely man with a child's need for love. Home alone on a cold winter night Wyatt never expects everything he needs in life knocking at his door looking for directions.
Aimee is new to town, she's the new teacher at the elementary school and still doesn't know her way around. So when she becomes lost she doesn't hesitate to knock on the door of the first house she sees with lights on. When Wyatt swings the door open they are both shocked to see what's on the other side.
Aimee is more interested in Wyatt than she lets on but when their paths keep crossing they come together in an explosive kiss that neither can get past.
Can Wyatt open his heart to Aimee? Can he let down his guard and be the man she needs him to be or will his strong will and tragic past stand in their way?
Sexy, full-blown hotness, evenly written characters with the perfect amount of emotion that makes your heart swell with love and want. To me Wyatt is the perfect example of a character that is so broken inside and fights what he knows he wants but doesn't think he deserves. Opening his heart before has gotten him nothing but heartache so when he finally gives an inch, Aimee takes it and runs with it, she can see the love this man has to give. With both of them having past loss and the pain that goes with it they come together to find new love that makes starting a new, bright future together brighter.
Excerpt: “Show’s over, folks. Back inside.” Dusty stood at the top of the steps with his arms folded across his chest. He blocked the way of the troublemakers. “Where do you think you boys are going?”

Excerpt: “Show’s over, folks. Back inside.” Dusty stood at the top of the steps with his arms folded across his chest. He blocked the way of the troublemakers. “Where do you think you boys are going?”
“Inside for a drink.”
One of the men punched his fist into the air.
“You all right,
Wyatt?” Dusty called to him.
“I’m fine and sorry
about the table, Dusty. I’ll replace it.”
“Damn right, you will.
You want to press charges? Sheriff’s just a phone call away.”
“Nope, I suppose in a
way I had it comin’,” Wyatt responded.
“And you, dumb ass?”
Dusty spoke directly to the bloodied man. He shook his head. Dusty nodded.
“Good. Now you boys get on out of here. The rest of you, let’s get back inside
and remember the real reason we came here tonight.”
Aimee brushed the snow
from her coat.
“Do me a favor, you
two,” Wyatt spoke to his brothers. “Could you take care of the cleanup and help
Aimee when it’s over?”
“And just where do you
think you’re going?” Aimee asked in surprise.
“Home. Where I should
have stayed.”
“Hell, no.” Aimee
turned and called to Dalton. “Tell Sally I had to leave.”
Dalton waved in
response, but tossed a smile at Rein.
She faced Wyatt. “You
and I are going to have this out come hell or high water tonight. My place is
closer. Take me home.” She breezed past him and climbed into the cab of his
truck.
Wyatt drove through
town and neither spoke. Aimee wanted to thank him for coming, but she was
thinking more about what she was going to say to him when they got alone.
“Do you have some
ibuprofen?” he asked, his eyes on the road. He hadn’t looked at her once since
getting in the truck.
“Probably,” she
remarked and considered she might need it herself before the night was over.
They rode for another
few moments in silence.
“I’ll replace your
coat,” he offered.
Aimee snorted. “You’ve
been gunning for my coat since the first time we met.”
He sighed.
“Take a right, there
in the parking lot. I’m the spot on the end.” Only then did Aimee realize and
thankfully she’d slipped her phone and keys in her coat pocket. She’d have to
call Dusty’s and have Sally get the book bag she’d left behind the bar. She
felt his eyes on her as he followed her up the stairs. She hoped to find a
gentle way of approaching the subject of Jessie, this woman who’d apparently
left a deep scar when she betrayed him and let him know she wasn’t like her.
Aimee let herself in, dropped her keys on the counter, and turned to face him
as he came through the door. “You can hang your hat over there.”
He took off his hat,
tossed it the counter, and grabbed her shoulders, planting a firm kiss on her
lips.
“We need to talk,” she
cautioned, though the next kiss, gentle this time on the side of her neck,
caused her to rethink the idea. She accepted his mouth on hers and released a
soft groan. She’d missed the taste of him, but they had things to discuss.
Maybe after just one more kiss….
“We can talk later.”
He nuzzled the sweet spot beneath her ear and unzipped her coat. It fell to the
floor. “When you sang tonight….” His cool hands snaked under the hem of her
shirt and she shivered with anticipation. “Was it only Sarah you thought of?
Because I burn for you, Aimee. It started the night you showed up on my
doorstep, and it’s been building ever since. I can’t get you out of my mind.”
