Customer Reviews

Great!

I REALLY liked this book. I'm always a sucker for the "star-crossed lovers meet years later and eventually things work out" stories - and this is definitely one of them. Ms. Rimmer wrote this so well that I could actually feel my heart breaking for the characters at times during the story (I love when authors are able to do that). This is a great read and one I would definitely recommend.

A simple summer fling with complications

Starr Bravo had been in love with Beau Tisdale since she was sixteen years old, but he had broken her heart in an attempt to save her from more pain. Now she was 21 years old with a college degree and had a promising job lined up in New York City. For the summer, she was staying at her father's ranch, where she couldn't help but run into Beau again. They agreed to have a summer fling, and after Labor Day Starr would go to New York City and Beau would remain as foreman on a local ranch. Starr gets pregnant immediately, though, and thus the problems begin. She can't find the courage to tell him, especially since she knows that he's so dead-set against being a father and a husband, scared that he'll be like his own father.Beau Tisdale was the only Tisdale to amount to something. His father had been a drunk, one of Beau's older brother had died in prison, and Beau's other brother sat on death row for killing a police officer. Beau himself had been involved in a cattle rustling scheme because of his brothers' influence, but he had served his time at the state's honor farm and had made a decent life for himself. He had always loved Starr, but he knew deep in his heart that he wasn't good enough for her. She deserved to chase her dreams, and he would only tie her down. Still, he could definitely handle a summer fling, even though he knew it would probably break his heart again. Will he admit to loving her, or will he let her leave his life once more?I really liked this book, especially since there was so much more depth to the story than I expected there to be. Beau was physically and emotionally scarred from being abused as a child. His pain was so real, you could almost feel it as you read the story. Starr was also nursing the hurt that she had suffered from Beau's hand, in his efforts to protect her from himself. This book was really an emotional roller coaster, and the reader was privileged to personally feel it all, from the heights of dizzying love to the depths of a broken heart. Tears came to my eyes a few times, as I watched Starr and Beau try to make sense of their attraction in light of their pasts and their vastly different futures. The love scenes between Starr and Beau were so incredibly hot and sensual. I could barely force myself to put down this book until I had read all of it! This book was an incredible read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Beau's going to be a father!!

It's been 5 years since we last saw Starr Bravo and Beau Tisdale. Starr was a very unhappy and confused 16 y.o. and Beau at age 21 was on his way to jail for his part in the cattle rustling on the Rising Sun Ranch in SSE#1174 PRACTICALLY MARRIED Starr's stepmother & father's book. Starr's spending the summer with Tess, Zach & family before she moves to NYC to take the great job-editorial assistant for a magazine and Beau has found himself a home and job with neighbor, Daniel Hart. Starr sees him at a picnic and decides she'd like to have a summer fling with Beau--he still makes her tingle after just one dance. Their summer fling proves to be so much more for both. Starr finds herself pregnant right away but just can't tell Beau-she'd love to stay in Wyoming, marry Beau and make a good life but Beau's afraid and feels he can't be what Starr deserves. What a great story Ms Rimmer has written! We know there will be a HEA but we just have to watch Starr and Beau find their way. They even get a little help from one of Ms Rimmer's most memorable characters
