After losing everything she held dear, Abby never wants to love again. But a certain cowboy may just spur her to wonder if love might be worth the risk.
Running from a past that haunts her, Abby Knightly is drawn to the cozy town of Wishing Springs, Texas. Maybe this small town could offer hope and healing and a future for Abby . . . if she's brave enough to reach out and take it by the reins.
Bo Monahan isn't interested in the new romantic destination his little town has become---or the women who might be looking at him like he's their next Mr. Right. Between taking care of his Pops and his growing stirrup business, he isn't looking for serious romantic commitments. But when the infant son he never knew about shows up at his doorstep, his world is turned upside down.
This confirmed bachelor might not think he needs a wife, but he sure needs help. Even Abby can see that, and despite her best efforts to keep her distance, she can't help but be drawn to this new father-son duo. As Abby throws herself into helping Bo navigate fatherhood, hope sparks between them, revealing that maybe, just maybe, they can navigate their dark pasts and emerge together into a future as bright as the Texas sun itself.

My Thoughts: After reading, reviewing, and loving Book 1 of this series I was really looking forward to reading this one. I wouldn't say I was disappointed in the book, but I did like the first book better than the second.
That being said, Clopton knows how to make a town and it's people come to life. My favourite characters are probably Pops and Pebble, but the author does a great job of getting you to be invested in all of them.
I was, however, disappointed in how some of the topics were handled, particularly since this is a Christian novel. I thought the themes of sin and forgiveness could've been fleshed out a lot more and that it was missing some solid doctrine. When topics like that are brought up but then not dealt with from a Christian standpoint, it makes you wonder what the point is.
That said, it was a quick and easy read, and I'm hoping for more from Book 3.
