My Review:

Just Loved to get Lost in this book <3 Rowen and Jesse, what a story they share during this book. They have both had their journeys up until now and from this point all you can do is wait to find out exactly what those journeys were and where they lead to in the future. Rowen is just starting out to find out who she is and what she is meant to do when she is forced by her mother to go to a ranch for the summer under threat of her college tuition. This is the last thing that she wants to do. But she does it because she wants to go to college and do what she loves: Art. Enter Jesse. Oh Hot Cowboy! The moment Rowen meets him the chemistry flies, or at least internally it does. In the real world they are both going through some things. Rowen needs to learn who she is and what she really wants in life, and Jesse has secrets to share. Rowen and Jesse go the rounds and its entertaining to watch. With Rowen being her closed off and defensive self she doesn't tend to do well with the affection and people liking her for who she is. She grabs your heart form the moment you meet her and it only grows fonder. She has been through so much in her life and deserved the love that these people want to give her. She just needs let herself be loved as someone should be. Jesse. :D Jesse also grabs your heart from the start. He is non Judgmental and caring from the first second he meets Rowen. He is also honest about what he wants. I loved him as a character. As the story goes on, there are some points where he is infuriating, but in all honesty he is a great guy, an amazing person, and the perfect boy for Rowen. They are the perfect fit for each other. He is there for her and done all the little things that a perfect man does, while also being her knight in shining armor. Now don't get me wrong, he is the type of knight that helps and aids the princess in her journey, but domineers and doesn't let her grow during it as well. I don't know if that makes sense. Lol. He is amazing. This whole book is really. Its about growing and learning that it is okay to op[en up to others and to be who we really are meant to be. It eloquently tells the story of finding someone that truly loves you and seeing that it can be a great, great thing. Its wonderfully written as well. All the chapters keep your attention and give just enough details to keep you begging for more. The characters, every single one, end up holding a special candle to you. They are all given their small stories and it makes the novel itself even better. This book deserves more than 5 stars but as I cannot give it more, Its a top read in my book. Love it!

Synopsis:

There’s complicated. And there’s Rowen Sterling. After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing. Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded. Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl—happily-right-now is a stretch—so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls. When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked behind the walls she’s kept up for years, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.
