Due to unforseen circumstances, Annie later agrees to

Brett Corrigan hired Annie Harper to capture his ranch's runaway horses, not knowing she was the mysterious "Mustang Annie" who disappeared after experiencing a shameful, embarrassing event in her life. Because of it, Annie had decided love had no place in her life. Brett had decided love had no place in his life, either. Though he was determined to save his ranch, there was something about Annie which changed his mind. Rachelle Morgan's writing has improved tremendously since Wild Cat Cait. The juxtapositions between Annie's past and present lives are very nice here. Brett is sympathetic but doesn't have quite as much depth as Annie does. The balance, however, is quite nice, and this book is definitely one for the keeper shelves.

If you like frontier stories of people who overcome hardships, you'll love Brett and Annie as they struggle against their pasts and the attraction they feel toward each other while following a herd of wild horses. Ms Morgan created great characters who tug at the heart strings--an adventure, a romance and a two hanky read. ~ Romance Reviews Today ~ Coming Soon

I felt that this book had more potential but it just never excited me. I liked Brett & Annie & all the others but the adventure was just a little dull to me. As in most books there's a part where the heroine needs rescued from the hero & that's usually the biggest excitement in the book but for me it was way too short & not exciting in the least. I wish I could rate this book higher but it just never took off for me.
