Death never simply settles for the life it claims. It’s greedy.It stole all of our lives that night and while it put my husband in the ground, it left my four children and me behind. After an ugly year of grief, something had to change. My sister suggested open spaces, big skies and fresh air in the heart of Wyoming. We settled into our shared estate the best we could until I met my new neighbor. Arrogant, bossy and rude; Reid was easily the worst person I’d ever met. I'd decided to write him off entirely until I realized he was the only local horse instructor.I’d heard that if I could get my kids onto a horse, they’d start to heal. Desperation had me creating an alliance with him.Envy had me craving the connection he had with them. Distracted by the newness of our situation, I missed how close his demons danced to my ghosts. While I was ignorantly letting him take my heart, it was too late to realize . . .He’d already stolen it once before. **This is a standalone romance novel.**

"It's always a good thing when you walk away from a book thinking, 'Wow' (jaw and emotions on the floor). So here I sit and I'm still thinking, 'wow', but beyond that I feel like I have no words."- Lager & Lefse Book Blog

"This is such a phenomenal book! I am blown away! This book is filled with so much angst and feels. It will rip open your heart and put it back together."-Good Reads Reviewer

"The author did a number on my brain. I was just expecting a sweet--cowboy meets a widow and calls her darlin'--and they live happily-ever-after. Nope, that's not what happens. I can't give you details. Let's just say I've perfected my WTF face."-Iscream Book Blog

This was one of the saddest most beautiful stories!

Well if you don't cry at the beginning you'll be a little teary-eyed at the end and in the middle is a lot of hot times. I don't want to give anything away but this was a really good story I highly recommend it if you want anything with redemption and amazing Love,

A slow burn tear jerker

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

My first book by this author. If you like tear jerkers with a HEA, you will like this book. This is not my usual go-to trope. The HEA and twist at the end was totally unbelievable and if I’d had any idea about the storyline, I would not have read it. It was a super slow burn. I found it lacking in spice and missed the sexy banter that I associate with a Romance book. I can’t fault the author for my preference which is why I gave it a 4⭐️ rating. It was written well and for those who like more drama than romance in a story, it is a good book.

Heartache and happiness

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

This review is a really tough one to write without spoiling the story for new readers.
But, here goes......
I think it takes a special kind of author to write about extreme sadness and grief and not make me feel depressed myself. This story's characters all deal with grief, regret, anger, confusion and love each in their own unique way. Each character, and I include the children too, struggles through their own dark times, and each finds solace in the others.
This story is uplifting without being sappy. It made me think hard and long about events in my own life, and to reflect on how they shaped my life, and how I feel about them years later.
I think this is a book I'm going to have to take some time to absorb, and then I'll come back and read it again just to see how much I've learned about myself.
I'm not one bit surprised that some of the events are written from the author's own life. I could feel the genuine thoughts and emotions as I read her story.
Thank you Ashley, for a thought provoking, fun, and charming time spent with your characters.

Not bad. I could never really connect to the heroine because all she did was cry and it got to be a bit annoying😅 I get she was grieving, but maybe she wasn't ready to move on then because it did take away from the romance. The hero on the other hand, I know he made a huge mistake, but I still loved him and I'm glad he finally got the family he wanted, although I did feel like he was with the heroine more for the kid rather than herself with how much he kept saying how lonely he was😅 I'm really glad that the heroine's husband was a good guy though and that the author didn't take the easy way out to make it easier for the heroine to move on. Lastly, the twists were pretty obvious but it's whatever.

Safety:

Om drama- Heroine is widowed I think for a little over a year, and it does cause some drama but not really jealousy. Mainly just the heroine still handling her grief. She also has kids with him.

Ow drama- Hero was previously engaged and had a baby on the way but found she cheated on him and baby isn't his, and it doesnt cause any drama/jealousy. A girl the hero had made out with in HS has some appearances and hero almost goes out with her.

Both I think have been celibate since their previous relationship

No cheating/sharing

No virgins/no manh*e

Beautifully Broken

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is the book I kept looking down to see how much more was left. Because things were so good and there was too much story left. I had a happy book (as happy as possible with the characters back stories). I was so apprehensive the further I read because I was already coming up with heartbreaking scenarios about how their happiness would stall. And yet the closer to the end I got the more I hoped to believe that maybe it wouldn’t. That maybe, just maybe, I wouldn’t be emotionally wrecked by this book. And then the mother of all twists happens and catches me by surprise and I am speechless and crying on my lunch break like a crazy person. This book was beautifully written, raw with emotions and devastatingly perfect. The author was amazing with the character developments, the plot and ultimately this is a book that is welcome in my library. I can’t wait to be able to buy it soon!

Just loved this story!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Layla gave herself one year to grieve the death of her husband and the story starts on the first day after that one year anniversary.
With four children to raise, she works to find the strength within to be the mother her children need. Never planning to meet someone new, she struggles with her feelings that continue to grow stronger everyday for her neighbour Reid.
He is amazing with her children, helping out wherever he can with them and her. He makes it clear how he feels about her but is respectful enough to not rush or push anything on her that she’s not ready for.

The chemistry and buildup to Layla and Reid’s relationship was sweet and steamy.
I loved how infatuated Reid was with Layla and in turn her to him.
Reid is so understanding towards Layla as she works through the guilt of her feelings towards him while still loving her late husband.
He too has suffered loss but the book reveals all his past hurt and demons ever so slowly that you cannot resist reading on.

I’m so happy I came across this book by chance!
It made me laugh, cry and smile as it was so full of pain, loss, hope and love.
Beautifully written from start to finish, The story did not shy away from each characters journey of grief and mourning while moving forward in life.

Phenomenal

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 8, 2021

WOW!
Layla has lost her husband as a result of a drink driver, although this isn't spelt out until towards the end of the book. Reid also has his demons and you don't know what these are until the final few chapters when everything unravels for Layla.
Layla has spent the year since her husband's death trying to be everything to their four children, even moving and but it then horses. Reid returns home and starts to help the family heal, building bonds with the children and Kayla but just as they seem ready to declare their love Reid's secret years them apart. But love and forgiveness makes Layla search out Reid but is it enough for Reid?

I love the NEW that Ashley gives this couple and their family. So many times I wanted to scream at both Layla and Reid and then I wanted to cry with them. A fantastic book about second chances.

Emotional

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 11, 2021

My first book by Ashley, definitely not my last. What a story, the loss experienced by everyone in the book was described perfectly. I loved the kids , great characters and Reid was just... Wonderful. I don't know who my heart broke more for. Layla for her loss or for Reid and the guilt he lived with daily. I'd guessed what had happened but it didn't spoil the story at all, the tension waiting and waiting for everything to be out in the open made this a super page turner. Well done on a fab read.
