Editorial Reviews

[A] smooth-reading romance. Each chapter is headed with a pithy quote—'Cowboy proverb: The bigger the buckle, the better the cowboy'—lending light wisdom to the tale. This inspiring look at the plight of undomesticated landscape and wildlife nestled in a tender romance is a surprisingly sweet and resonant story.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Peppered with authentic details about ranch life, this will have readers sharing Brie's delight in the wind-swept landscape—and, of course, Logan. A romance that thunders along with hoof beats and heartbeats.” —Booklist

From the Publisher

2015-02-16
Brie is used to constant travel; she's not accustomed to caring passionately about a cause—or a young man.Brie's dad is a land developer, so they move from place to place worldwide. Home-schooled, Brie has never made attachments. When she and her parents move to a one-main-street town in Wyoming, the welcome is frosty, as its citizens protest the uprooting of the wild mustangs for the hotel Brie's dad is building. The loudest opponent is the father of a handsome, kind, cowboy-hatted boy named Logan. This quickly becomes more than a budding romance between Brie and Logan, as they take up the cause to create a sanctuary for the mustangs. She finds within herself a stirring love for the horses and a deep desire to do something good. However, caught in the middle of the heated battle, this is the first time Brie has contradicted her father and the first time she's fallen in love. Burkhart's uncluttered prose easily develops both characters and complications, making for a smooth-reading romance. Each chapter is headed with a pithy quote—"Cowboy proverb: The bigger the buckle, the better the cowboy"—lending light wisdom to the tale. This inspiring look at the plight of undomesticated landscape and wildlife nestled in a tender romance is a surprisingly sweet and resonant story. (Fiction. 12-18)
