"Hypertension is nothing to mess with, Abigail. You're so...restless. You need a break -- a chance to find some peace in your life."
With those words spoken, Abigail Jones was sentenced to three months in Moose Creek, Montana to check up on her Aunt Lucy. The aunt who seems to be going a little insane. But what workaholic, big-city girl like Abigail would cherish the thought of enduring three months of boredom in the middle of nowhere?
Only a few days into her venture out to Moose Creek, Abigail happens upon Maddy Ryan, a young girl who has just had her bike stolen. With her journalist instincts kicking up, Abbey promises the girl, who turns out to be the daughter of the widowed cowboy who owns Aunt Lucy's ranch, to help her recover her precious item. The two form a special bond during their short mystery adventure. Maybe her visit here wouldn't be boring after all...
To kickstart her summer stay in Montana even further, Maddy informs Abigail that her nanny has just bailed on her dad for the summer leaving the job wide open. Maybe this was just what she needed. After careful consideration and accepting the job, Abigail is now spending her time living with Maddy and her handsome father.
Wade Ryan seems a mysterious character to Abigail. He is a solemn man, and while he wishes the right life for Maddy, he seems so detached from her. Abigail sets out to fix that disconnection. But who could this mysterious Wade Ryan be? She knows he is hiding something.
What happens when this cowboy starts to find a place in her longing heart? How can she deal with an incredible discovery, an astounding opportunity, and a love that is only bound to be broken in the end?

This was a very fun read! Being a fan of stories that take place out West, I found this satisfying. Being a romantic, following along Abigail's sentimental adventure was endearing. The pace of the book kept the suspense just where it needed to be.
I rated this a four star because I felt the narrative writing seemed a bit clipped at times. While the author described things well, I feel like it took away from the flow of the book. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the dialogue. It's so hard to figure out how to manage writing good dialogue. Usually I complain more about how the talking just didn't seem realistic to me, but that wasn't the case in this book.
I highly recommend this for girls aged 14 and up who love to settle down with a good romantic book with a bit of mystery thrown in. :)
