Reluctant Hometown Hero

This is another wonderful story in the Wildfire Ridge series. This time, our main characters are Ryan Davis and Zoey Castillo. Ryan, a decorated Army officer, is back in his home after a sting as a detective in Oakland. Ready to leave the big city and all the crimes that destroyed lives, he reluctantly returned to become the sheriff. Zoey, manages the pet store owned by the relatives that raised her and is a rescuer of all abandoned animals. She has always had a crush on the big brother of her best friend Jill. A relationship blossoms, but both have obstacles to overcome. One doesn’t feel he can ever give his heart, while the other one, fears giving her heart since the people that should have loved her unconditionally abandoned her. It was a story about discovering oneself. About taking a risk in life and in love. Knowing that though life is ever changing, and once you find the person that “gets” you and completes you, hold on to them and give them your love. I was entrusted a copy of this book.
