My Review

5 stars


Linda Goodnight is the queen of opening scenes. She knows how to hook a reader and draw them into a book fast.


I loved the twist on the mistaken identity and forced proximity tropes. At first it took me a while to decide this book fits those tropes because Goodnight delivers such a fresh take on them.


Taylor Matheson’s character is wonderful. She made a lot of mistakes and one of those mistakes causes her to believe the ranch she is living on is her late man’s ranch. When Wilder Littlefield returns home after a rodeo to find her there? Well, you just HAVE TO READ this book.


A rich backstory and deep characters with beautiful growth make this book a delight to read and very hard to share without giving away spoilers! Such a refreshingly original book!


Fans of Christian romance, cowboy romance, and a sweet, clean read will enjoy this book immensely. If I could give it six stars, I would.


Location: Mercy, Oklahoma

Romance: Very clean. Light kissing.

Faith: Wilder’s faith was very strong and he became an example to Taylor, helping her grow her faith deeper. Great application of spiritual disciplines to their lives and seeking forgiveness from God and each other.
