About the Book:
All Beatriz “Bia” Fernandes wants is to prove herself—to her family and friends—though it’s hard to prove anything with an overbearing father and three famous polo-playing older brothers. After her acceptance into college results in a heated family argument, the Brazilian girl leaves everything behind to find her own American dream.College life away from home is perfect until the people she believes to be her friends turn on her. With lies and rumors threatening to suffocate her, Bia turns to her only freedom. Riding.But one thing gets in the way of her escape. Garrett Blackwell and his bad cowboy attitude. Working at the ranch is his obligation, bugging Bia is his newfound hobby. His thick skin and easy grin don’t hide what Bia already knows—this misunderstood and lonely cowboy fights his own demons. Brushing horses’ coats and mucking out stalls shouldn’t be this sexy, and it isn’t long before he becomes a part of her distraction.However, escaping won’t solve her problems, and it’s up to Bia to break down the fences around her and prove her strength—not to her family and friends, but to herself … and for Garrett. Because standing on her own doesn’t have to mean standing alone.
** Companion novel of Breaking the Reins. Can be read out of order.**
My Thoughts:
After having read the first book in this series, I couldn't wait to pick this one up! I loved Bia's character in the first book, so I was looking forward to seeing how a book with her as the main character would go and I'm so happy I decided to give it a go!
Bia honestly doesn't care what any one thinks, she is how she is and she's not going to change herself. That was absolutely refreshing. At times, she did begin to feel, reasonably, insecure about herself because of the unfortunate reputation that for some reason seems to follow Brazilian girls, but she still kept to her roots and kept to her boots and I just loved that!
This is honestly, just like the first in the series, so much more than I expected. I would LOVE to read more about the Fernandes family as I'm just not willing to say goodbye to this world yet! Truly some of the most well written books of its kind I have read in a long while. I highly recommend!
*I received this book for review from YA Bound Book Tours, but this in no way affected my thoughts as expressed in this review. *
