Sixty country days and sixty country nights—that’s all I wanted.
I needed to get away from the city, away from the hot mess that had become my life.
When I stumbled upon my childhood home on RentBnB.com, I took it as a sign, cleaned out my life savings, and hightailed it to the only place that ever meant something to me, a place I hadn’t seen since a lifetime ago.
Only when I arrived to the familiar South Dakotan farmhouse, I was met by a brooding, we-don’t-take-kindly-to-strangers cowboy by the name of River McCray, who insisted this was his house and most definitely not a rental property.
I’d been internet scammed.
And that cocky, smart-mouthed stranger had the nerve to make me a humiliating offer: I could stay in his house for the next two months rent-free, but I had to work for him.
He’d be my boss. And my roommate.
With no money and nowhere else to go, I agreed. But nothing could have prepared me for the tension, the attraction, and the bombshell revelation that changed … everything.

***********MY REVIEW**********
I just have to say it-Winter
Renshaw writes some pretty AWESOME heroes!!! This is another phenomenal story
with some great characters. The first couple pages tell us what the heroine had
been going thru - Leighton thought she had it all under it all
fell down in one swoop (successful lawyer boyfriend since
college, non-challenging job at
an art gallery ) which is when she catches him cheating- by way of sext
from another woman that pops up on his phone and other things that added
up and he didn’t even bother to try and deny it. So Leighton clears out her things
and takes a trip and ends up back
where she lived when she was younger , where she lived where everything
was good until her father was killed in
a hit and run. But that too ends up going downhill for her when someone scammed
her out of money that she thought she
paid for a stay in her old home. This is where she meets River…
River McCray is the
new owner of Leighton’s old home and well, he is one ornery son of a gun. He is rude, doesn’t listen and goes his
own way. But he feels sort of bad for what has befallen Leighton so he lets her
stay in his farm IF she works for her keep. There is a chemistry there
between them that they both fight. Which leads to a temporary truce. I don’t want
to give this story away but OMG this is such an emotional read and it has many
twists that I definitely didn’t see
coming. There are things that shaped River into the man he is today, things
like betrayal, regret and guilt –He finally gives Leighton his Trust
but was he right to do so? Will she regret letting him into her life? There is passion and they develop this
intense love that overcame a lot. I also enjoyed the secondary cast of
characters that helped shaped this story into the powerhouse that it is.
At the end of the story, there is a blurb by the author that she talks
about the inspiration for this story and I loved how she used this for her
story. I could really feel this story took place from her memories and tell
this was happy times for her. I was so glad I could “see” her memories and that
she shared these with the readers. This is what makes Ms. Renshaw a phenomenal
author, the ability to have readers feel your memories and that is surely what
I did. This is a book you must read. I hope she writes more books from this
town. I loved reading about Leighton and River –hope we get to meet more
townspeople.
My Rating: 4.9 stars *****
