~*SYNOPSIS*~
Gillian ‘s turbulent life has never been easy, but
nothing prepared her for the moment of violence that sends her and her little
brother running from San Francisco to her grandfather’s ranch in
Montana. A man she’s never met. She learned long ago not to trust anyone, but
she’ll do anything to keep her brother safe and give him the happy childhood
she never had. When she meets Blake Bowden, a strong, silent, gorgeous cowboy
who teaches her about the ranch and rescued horses-animals who have
been through hell and back, just as she has-Gillian begins to feel at ease for
the first time in memory. In fact, she even starts to feel happy. But in her
world happiness has always been fleeting, and she’s not sure she can believe in
it or the man who has quickly found his way into her heart.
Blake has everything he’s ever wanted: a
partnership on a ranch that allows him to spend his day in the saddle
training racehorses. His life is good, steady, uncomplicated…until the most
beautiful, haunted looking woman arrives at Three Peaks Ranch. If he wants
to keep his ideal life, his partner’s granddaughter is entirely off limits, but
Gillian awakens a protective instinct in Blake that he can’t ignore…and ignites
a passion he shouldn’t feel. But as Gillian heals and finds her way back into
the world, Blake knows that he’s found the one thing that he never knew he was
missing. And when danger comes close, he will do anything he must to keep
Gillian safe…even if it means risking his life’s dream.
~*REVIEW BY ELYSSA*~
Fallers, When It's Right is one of those books that reminds me why I love to read--that even though a book may be full of things I wouldn't ever pick out for myself (the outdoors and cowboys, neither of which I am a fan of in real life)--I can still absolutely fall in love with a story. I'm giving When It's Right 4.5 stars!
As a rule, I don't go for dramatic/upsetting backstories or undue drama, but Gillian's triumph over her abusive father in order to take care of her little brother started the story out with a heart-wrenching bang. When she and her brother are contacted by their erstwhile grandfather, she makes the brave step to move them both to Montana to live with him on his ranch. And while there, of course, she meets the perfect man--Blake.
Gillian's road to recovery is a long one. She's recovering from both the physical and psychological effects of long-term abuse, and while her grandfather's ranch is nothing but a loving environment, Gillian isn't used to love--she's always waiting for the other shoe to drop But through the patience of her family and a slow-burn wooing from the delicious Blake (who is the biggest sweetheart on the face of this earth), she slowly but surely begins to discover herself and fall in love for the first time.
Read this one ASAP, Fallers--you won't be disappointed. This story was smart and sweet, and full of love.
