My Review:
This was a great book. I am not a fan of westerns, but I loved this book because there is so much more to it. This is the second book in the series, and we learn about how the brothers are doing and we learn about how the couple from book 1 is doing. We learn about old rivalries, and new loves. I loved the way the brothers went back and forth, the author made me feel like the story was about siblings I see messing around every day. I laughed at the banter and I cried at the sad times. I especially liked that Gabriel "manned" up and took care of his woman and her brother. I loved the ending when Brenna found something she was looking for. There is also a new book coming out soon as well. I hope that their enemy gets what he deserves in the next book. 
I loved the chemistry between the couples and the book ended with answers for the main characters, even though there is somewhat of a cliffhanger. 
I liked to read about how the characters took care of their land and how times were different then. I am giving this a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

She was on a quest of discovery. 
He was on a quest for revenge.
Together they would discover a second chance. 

Brenna Cameron travels from Scotland after losing someone she loves in search of family she didn't know existed. Alone now in the world, Brenna makes an arduous journey, following the trail of discovery to Briarwood, Montana. Here she meets Ethan Gallagher, and the rest of the Gallagher clan. Only with their help is she able to discover lost family, heal old wounds and embark on a treacherous confrontation with a man who destroyed her family. As head of the Gallagher clan, Ethan has more than enough to occupy his thoughts and time-he didn't need the complication of Brenna Cameron and he certainly didn't need the trouble that came with her. Ethan takes on the unwanted duty of self-appointed protector to the headstrong Scot, only to discover there is such a thing as second chances and more to life than revenge.

My Review:
This is the first book in the series, and it introduces the Gallagher's and their biggest enemy. Little did they know that Brenna would show up looking for answers and losing her heart to Ethan instead. She has a past that she is determined to set straight, no matter how the truth feels. She needs to find someone to make her family complete and she enlists Ethan's help. He was a goner as soon as he lost his heart to her. I did not expect the ending, and I was really excited to learn the truth. The secondary characters were fun to read about, and I liked the friendships that were bonded. The fight of wills between Ethan and Brenna was funny at times, because I knew they were just being stubborn. This book started a great series, and I can only hope someone at the Hallmark channel reads it, and pitches a movie series!
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
