He’s not the only one who needs saving…

But maybe they can save each other?

Dark, brooding, dangerous…and possibly suicidal. Renegade rancher Justin Cade was exactly the kind of man former army chaplain Brielle Thompson needed to avoid after escaping the horrors of Afghanistan with an honorable discharge—and PTSD. The whole point of moving to the remote Rocky Mountains of Colorado was to leave the darkness behind, not fall back into it. But falling she is…

The Christmas they never had.

James Cade has one priority: keep the family ranch running smoothly in the wake of his younger brother's death. With Jesse's ex, Sofia Gallardo, and her young son, Javi, stranded at Cade Ranch over Christmas, this task just got a lot harder. The longer Sofia and Javi stay, the harder it is to imagine the ranch without them. James couldn't save his brother from his inner demons, but he can give his nephew a secure future. Maybe more—if he can figure out how to trust Sofia, and stop feeling like he's betraying Jesse. Because trying to stop thinking about beautiful, determined Sofia is impossible.

My Review:
Cowboys are not my favorite genre, but Justin is not your ordinary cowboy. He is full of guilt and tries to cheat death. He can not get over the loss of his brother. During a chance encounter, when he is tempting death, he meets Brielle. She is a strong woman. What a great heroine. She has fought in a war, and has PTSD. Most people in her circumstances would be depressed and unable to move on. But not Brielle. She runs a home for people that are trying to get back on their feet. She also offers Justin a room, rather than going to jail. He fights her every step of the way. The intake questionnaire was more like a sparring match. Brielle also has to fight the townspeople at the town meetings because they do not want her to keep her "home" in their neighborhood. As Brielle gets ideas to save her business, she tries to persuade Justin to help others and himself. He starts to realize that horses are a place to start. However once the dust has settled where will these two characters stand? Will Justin forgive himself and allow himself to be with his family? Will he end up with Brielle? Will Brielle Keep her business and end up with Justin? This was a really fun read, and I can not wait to read more about these characters. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy, all opinions are my own.
