I never seem to go wrong with books from Ellora's Cave. Their blurbs are always spot on, the covers are true to the story, and they (almost) always deliver a story that takes me out of this world and into a new one. Whenever I need a book that isn't all about the smut, where the plot and characters can stand on their own, EC have my go-to books. 
 I'll be the first one to admit that I don't find long hair on men sexy at all. But on Hawk, it didn't bother me at all. Sure, Jo was all over his hair from time to time, but thankfully it wasn't a big "thing". Hawk was 'hawt'. A man's man with the cowboy boots to support all his manliness. I liked him as a character a lot. I loved how Kendall Grace allowed us to 'see' him as more than a man with a crazy horse. He's one of those characters that gets under your skin and won't let you easily forget about him. 
 Jo has a lot of baggage and believes she's broken. Hawk has his work cut out for him when it comes to Jo. Little by little she becomes the person she was supposed to be all along. I never really warmed up to her, she was a little too hung up on her past. I get why she did the things she did, though I didn't really like them. Had I been in her shoes, I guess I would have been much more selfish. But then that wouldn't have made for a good story, now would it? :D 
 Overall a feel-good story with smut hot enough to burn up the sheets. 
 I received this book as an e-galley from Ellora's Cave Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
