When your world is always stormy, it's easy to hide from the sunshine...

Tyler
After all that I've been through, there's nothing I won't do to protect what matters most. I've devoted my life to this ranch and my son, and I promised I’d never let anyone get close enough to risk losing either one of them again.

But even the most disciplined man makes a mistake from time to time.
I didn't expect to see her again, so when Delaney reenters my life with news that scares us both, the safety I've carefully built for myself shatters. It was just one night of weakness, but now it ties us together forever. I've been down this road before, and I'm terrified of how the journey will end.

She's far too young to shoulder this burden alone, but the ranch is expanding, and there's no room for distractions. Delaney thinks she’s cursed to lose everyone she loves. I’m terrified that if I trust her, I’ll lose the son I’ve spent years shielding from the world. But the day our lives change forever is coming soon, and it's time for me to decide: do I keep guarding my heart like a fortress, or do I step up and be the man everyone needs me to be?

 

Highly addictive and endearing! The second book in E.C. Land’s Fallen Meadows series revolves around ranch manager Tyler and Mammon from the MC’s little sister Delaney. They were both interesting characters who were quick to draw me in with their backstories, and his kiddo sealed the deal of loving them to bits because he’s so adorable. The tension is high as each has their own drama they are dealing with as they meet, are instantly drawn to each other and finagle their way through the passion, angst and outside forces to find love and settle in for a lifetime of happiness. There were some spots that could have been filled in a tad more, but overall the characters were well developed and the storyline fast paced. I can’t wait to see what this series still has in store for us!
