He's risking everything on a woman who knows what she wants…

Back in Haven after suffering a broken heart, rancher Claire Lamontagne just wants to build her horse sanctuary—and forget about love. But IT specialist Devin Blake awakens Claire's bruised emotions, so much that she risks making the first move! And the stunning Stetson-wearing blonde definitely flusters the web developer, making him feel more deeply than he ever has before. Is Devin ready to trade his solitary life for a future with the cowgirl tempting him to take a chance on love?

So this was a cute romance between Claire who is still dealing with a broken heart and longer Devin who is an IT specialist. Claire needs help building a website and Devin is the guy to do it. Claire never expected this kind of attraction or how she'd be the one to pursue this Devin when he doesn't seem to be the type of step up.

This was a pretty good book I enjoyed it. It was interesting seeing the female as a the lead this time when it came to attraction and romance. I'm so used to the guy usually trying to make the first move. It was interesting seeing how she was getting this loner to open up a bit and get to know eachother. But small town comes with gossip and it seems people just don't like letting go of the past that sometimes it just slips in from time to time even when the person is different from then. It was interesting seeing how the characters faced things like that as well as insecurities. But you know what the romance was interesting and the overall story was pretty enjoyable.
