Albert Walsh the Third has spent over a decade running away from his past. With no job and nothing to lose, he goes on a spontaneous drive to visit his sister in the mountains of Colorado. The simple trip proves to be more than he bargained for.
Samantha Belmont is floating through life. She’s cast her dreams aside and now works on her papa’s ranch. One night, Sam is driving home in a snow storm after a hookup when she spots a car in a ditch and saves a man’s life. She doesn’t expect to develop feelings for the hot as hell stranger. Everything about him is wrong from his pointy shoes and fancy car to his age. Pushing him away would be the smart move.
Only Al can’t be pushed around anymore. Maybe it’s because she saved his life or maybe it’s because this cowgirl is completely different from every other woman he’s been with.
Problem is Sam has secrets of her own. Secrets she doesn’t want Al to find out because if he did he’d run in the other direction. She pushes him away even though he melts her panties right off—literally. There is more than just her heart that needs protection. Al won’t give up fighting for the feisty cowgirl’s attention.
Tempers will flare and hearts will be broken.
And Sam’s plans to never settle down will be torched like the inferno of passion raging between them.
R.C. Stephens was born in Toronto, Canada. She graduated from York University with a Master’s Degree in Political Science.
R.C. is an avid reader, so when she isn’t cooking for her clan or on her laptop writing, she’s snuggled tight with her Kindle devouring any romance novel she can. Okay, with the exception of Thursday nights. She makes time for Scandal and Vampire Diaries. She’s a fan of drama and suspense but she’s also a sucker for a happy ending.
Her husband was her first teenage love. They live together with their three children in Toronto. Loving Canadian winters she could never think of living anywhere else.
****MY REVIEW****
This is the 2nd
book in the Misters series. I was excited to know this was Al’s story(he
was the hero’s BFF in book 1) and what shaped him into the man he is today. In
this story, he meets his lady love but he doesn’t realize that is what she is
to him at first. Samantha Belmont was
just a little girl when she lost her mother to cancer. After her
mother died, her life just derailed and she is now finally crawling out of that
black hole she was in after her mother’s death. She is working alongside her
father on the family ranch. She is not happy, and the fact that she didn’t keep
the promise to her mother, ways on her. Sam meets Al when he decides to
go to visit with his sister at the family cabin and he arrives in the
middle of a blizzard. His car had wrecked and he was in a ditch when Sam found
him. There is this instant connection between them. Though Sam didn’t want there
to be any connection. He is rich, drives an expensive car, wears expensive
clothes –Sam knew it would be a bad idea for them to get together except Al didn’t
let her push him away. Al has secrets in his past, pain in his past. Pain that
seems to radiate from Sam and calls to him. Like knows Like. Al is
coming from a place where he was the chief of staff for the governor of
Illinois, who was also his best friend. But that job is gone (read
book 1 to find out why) and Al is struggling to find where he fits now. Al isn’t about to give up a chance to woo a
real cowgirl, one who calls to him on every level. But what happens when the
secrets that they both have come out ?
Who is going to be the casualty in their
blooming love affair ? Oh this is a good
one that really had me guessing until the very end. There were twists in this
story which I didn’t know until it actually happened. R.C. Stephens has written about two broken
people who were broken by life and circumstances. She had me not
only rooting for the heroine but for Al. And like I said, I have been waiting
for his story. This is a FEELS type story so make sure to keep tissues handy.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
“I received an advanced
copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
