BLURB
Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancรฉe. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she's been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.
The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.
Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Lily is an absolute sweetheart in this book and Maverick is a total cowboy, hottie. At the start of the book they are friends, until a dance and then she takes care of him when he is ill. And feelings develop....
But Lily thinks she is in love with her best friend Ben, though everyone in her family and her friends think he is a huge jerk. Maverick has always seen her as HOT and he is in total lust with her, but she is pretty blind to it because she thinks Ben is her soulmate.
This really does not have a love triangle. The only triangle might be in Lily's head or heart. But Ben is such a jerk that once she opens her eyes, she realizes how awful he really is.
Maverick comes from nowhere and has no one, until he lands at Lily's family's ranch. Timberlyn and Tanner are her parents and Nathan is her 17-year-old brother. They are a very close family, and they all consider Maverick as part of their family.
One of my favorite scenes in romance books are when a woman or man takes care of the hottie they are lusting for when they are ill. I loved so much the scenes where Lily ends up taking care of Maverick and when her mom and dad help her out. Then when he gets better, I loved how hot and bothered he got for Lily.
This was a really fun romance. I really loved Lily and Maverick. They just really fit so well together, that I fell hard for them as a couple. Ben is a huge jerk in this book and honesty I don't understand how Lily who is so awesome stayed friends with him through all the years.
I LOVED the ending to this book and I cannot wait for more in this series. This was such a romantic read with some giggles and lots of sighs as how romantic Maverick is and how he wins Lily's heart.
