This was a fast-paced, action-packed story with intense suspense and a second-chance romance. Growing up on neighboring ranches, Monty and Amber's childhood friendship grew into more when they got older. While Amber was in love with Monty, he was more interested in following his own path. Family interference and a big secret drove them apart until Amber's father's death when manipulation from beyond the grave brings them together again.
The book opens with a bang as Amber stumbles onto a murder scene where Monty is the prime suspect. She may have trust issues with him, but Amber knows he isn't capable of murder. It is soon evident that someone has it in for Monty and the entire Powell family. The twists and escalating attacks kept me glued to the pages as the intensity built. The final confrontation was a heart-pounding nail-biter with Amber in extreme danger.
I loved watching Monty and Amber navigate through their relationship. Because of their past, Amber is reluctant to trust him with her heart again. This puts her late father's demands on shaky ground, risking both ranch properties. She also has a big secret she is keeping from him that will change their future. Monty freely admits his past mistakes and insists he's learned his lesson. He wants a chance to make things right. I liked that they took the time to discuss the past and hopes for the future, ensuring they were on the same page.
I liked seeing characters from earlier books and catching up with their lives. I'm looking forward to more stories about the Powells and their connections.
