The heart wants what it wants—even if it what it wants belongs to someone else.
After the death of her father, veterinarian Charity Wyatt feels particularly lost. Thankfully, she’s not alone. Living beside the McCloud Ranch brought good friend—and notorious bad boy—Lachlan McCloud into her life at an early age, and they’ve had each other’s backs ever since.
To Lachlan, Charity is the best thing that ever happened to him. She’s the reason he survived his traumatic childhood and he’d do anything for her. But with his brothers all settling down, he also needs a favor. Charity agrees to help Lachlan reform into the family man he never thought he could be—if Mr. Swagger himself can help her build her confidence in return. The only problem is the not-so-subtle attraction they’re both harboring! But the fire between Charity and Lachlan, once lit, is proving difficult to extinguish…
Friends to Lovers at Four Corners Ranch! I’ve really enjoyed this series and the intermixing of four ranching families to make one cohesive group, but I felt Charity and Lachlan’s story was lacking the oomph it had the potential of giving. I love their characters and the family surrounding them and they had so much potential, but they felt somewhat flat with each other. I wanted more passion, more angst, more fight for forever. I enjoyed seeing the fam again and all that, I just felt like they could have given a better showing.
I recommend this series to anyone that enjoys the small town, rancher trope with lots of mingling of family members and friends to make a nice setting as the series expands.
