Book Summary:

One shot could change everything—even their chance at love.

Following a funeral, Navy SEAL operator Bernie Phillips finds himself in a small town filled with gossip and traditions he doesn’t understand. Battling survivor’s guilt, he throws himself into reckless adventures, but nothing prepares him for the fiery, curvy cowgirl he accidentally hit with a bottle cap a week earlier. Despite her clear disinterest and the fact he never thought he’d see her again, Bernie can’t get her out of his mind. What starts as a distraction turns into something far more dangerous—real feelings.

Katalina Fisher has always followed the path her parents laid out for her, even if it means marrying a man she doesn’t love. But when Bernie shows up, her carefully planned life is turned upside down. His relentless attention and her own growing attraction awaken a desire she’s never allowed herself to feel—the freedom to choose her own future.

Romantic feelings, even love, may not be enough when a single shot changes the trajectory of their future. Cattle drives, branding day, rodeos and bucking broncs are the least of their concerns as a life threatening situation comes into play. Now, it’s not just their relationship on the line—it’s Bernie’s chance at redemption.

My Thoughts:

 

This was a fabulous book with plenty of entertainment. I loved Bernie's (the MMC) I can do anything attitude. As well as his don't mess with my girl or you die vibe. There was a lot of past trauma that Bernie was dealing with throughout the storyline. Oh and did I mention Bernie adopted a cat from the shelter where Kat the MFC volunteers. But not just any run-of-the-mill cat... no a sphynx! He takes it everywhere with him. So cute!

Kat the FMC was the perfect plus sized take no sass cutie. She put up with Bernie but wasn't willing to take any of his BS while still being herself. You can't help but fall in love then both of them.
