Description

Activist Emily Sullivan left her fulfilling job in the Peace Corps to save her family's ranch from bankruptcy. Her dream is to use renewable energy because conservation and education are her passion. Unfortunately, her parents believe there's a greater profit allowing hunting tours to cull the local wild species. Emily vows to change their mind.

Donovan Link doesn't stay in one place or with one job too long. This cowboy turned hunter is determined that the hunting lodge he built on the Three Sisters ranch will give him a nice nest egg so he could retire to Alaska, where the game is plentiful and his incarcerated father can never find him.

When these two opposites clash, sparks fly. Donovan sees Emily as a sabotaging eco-warrior and she sees him as a soulless trophy hunter. But they need to work together to keep the Three Sisters ranch in the black and fighting with each other — and falling in love — complicates an already impossible situation.

    Interesting romance set on a Texas cattle ranch where the youngest of the three sisters, Emily is a vegetarian. Even the irony of that isn’t lost on Emily and she finds herself in a love/hate relationship with Donovan. He is the cowboy who leases land from Emily’s father to run game hunts which, is totally against every fiber of Emily’s being. That makes a very interesting conflict for Emiy and Donovan who do form a relationship. Her ethics towards animals and his livelihood of hunting animals makes for some intense debates. Their arguments for each side are valid and they form a compromise of sorts...for a while. There’s drama everywhere else on the ranch, Donovan’s childhood, Emily’s struggle with her family taking her business ideas seriously, a con man, Emily’s father who has health issues, an elusive white elk and wild hogs who seem to multiply overnight. But, in the center is a romance with a lot of heat between Emily and Donovan but, can that help them overcome their foundamental differences? I’m impressed with Ms. Schmidt who wrote the Club Inferno series which, I really liked and her ability to turn around and write the authentic feel of ranch life and all of its struggles. I enjoyed this book too! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was a great book. I could really understand both sides of the argument between animal lover Emily Sullivan and animal hunter Donovan Link. Even though they are fundamentally different in regards to killing animals, these two fell in love. Unfortunately I really felt that Emily needed to grow up and realize that Donovan's hunting groups were keeping an invasive species (feral hogs) from completely overwhelming the family's ranch. She acted like a child at one point and was injured. This book also included characters that we were introduced to in the first book of the series. It isn't necessary to read that one as the author did a great job of informing the reader as to the different characters' background. It was a wonderful book and I would recommend it as well. I also appreciated the book being written in a dual POV format. It really helped me to understand Emily a lot better. This is a sexy read so I would highly recommend it for anyone over the age of 18.

    Eco warrior and hunter supreme. Can these two find a happy median? With their super sexy chemistry, you bet. At odds over ranch usage and animals, Emily and Donovan go at it in heated push/pulls and arguments with passion. Soon that passion turns into a steamy connection and they meet in the middle to resolve their issues so their blooming romance doesn’t suffer. Great characters and an enjoyable storyline makes for a good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
