A Cowboy's Salvation

West Morgan grew up as a foster child until he found Rawlings Ranch as a teenager. He found a home, peace, and a family there. When his mentor dies, he leaves the property divided among West, his foster brothers, and his mentor's daughter Tara Rawlings. Will they be able to work together to save the ranch? to save each other? Super cute love story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

West Morgan came to the Double R Ranch as a teenager and was given a second chance at life by the owner, Douglas Rawlings, along with other troubled teens. The biggest rule that Douglas has was to stay away from his daughter, Tara. Tara Rawlings had always hated the Double R Ranch that was her home. Her mother hated being there up until she got sick and died and all her father cared about was the ranch, and not her. Shortly after her mom's death, her dad sent Tara away to boarding school. When she would come back for school breaks, every one ignored her so it wasn't surprising that when Tara left for college, she never came back. Now that Tara's life was in San Francisco she didn't make it back to Montana much. Her ex-husband hated the place and it only brought sad memories back for Tara. After Tara's divorce the past year has been really hard on her and she hadn't actually talked to her father much so when she received word that he had passed away Tara was riddled with guilt. Tara decides that she needs to head back to Montana for her father's funeral and to settle the estate. Of course the first person Tara sees is West, the guy she always hated because he got all of her dad's attention while at the same was always attracted to him. At first West, Ty and Chase are all hesitant around Tara. They never understood why she stayed away but slowly they start to come around. When the reading of the will takes place everyone is surprised to find out that Douglas left everything to Tara, West, Chase and Ty equally. Tara also finds out that the ranch is having some financial problems. As Tara and West start to spend more time together to save the ranch, it starts to get harder to not give in to their attraction....until finally they don't! Just when it looks like Tara and West are finally going to get a happy ending, past insecurities come back to haunt them until finally they both realize what they must each do. I really enjoyed Tara and West. They both had such baggage from their pasts that it hurting them moving forward in their futures. I also can't wait to read the other's stories!

As a child when her mother passed away Tara felt unwanted and unloved when her father sent her away to boarding school and she had to leave the only home she had ever known while she was grieving. Those feelings only increased when her father fostered three boys and they lived with him on the ranch. Now that her father has passed away she is returning home to finalize his estate. West and his foster brothers Chase and Ty are grateful to Tara’s father as he not only gave them a home but he gave them a family as well. When the ranch is left to all four of them jointly they must work together to save it but denying the feelings between West and Tara may be the biggest challenge of all.
