 Keeping my heart guarded all my life has never been an issue. Until he saves me in a bar fight. Charlie Montgomery is one grumpy rancher. Calloused hands, stubborn heart, the definition of a true cowboy. He dislikes me from the second we meet. Warns me away from his tiny town of Resurrection, Montana. Well, what he doesn’t know is I’m armed with a bucket list and a secret. There’s no way I’m leaving. I’ll just keep my distance. Only in a small town that distance doesn’t last for long. Because I owe him a favor: Work for him for three months and help him save his home. Runaway Ranch. But our close confines mean I see what’s under all that strong. I see the real Charlie Montgomery. The man behind the rugged rancher who yells. Beneath his dark beard hides a rare smile. Beneath his mile-wide chest beats a tender heart. One that slowly starts to beat for me. And instead of running back onto that open road, I run towards Charlie instead. But a hidden danger is lurking. Someone who doesn't want Charlie to save his ranch. Someone who is out to get us both. And I could lose more than my heart this summer—I could lose my life… 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley Tame the Heart is my very first title from Ava Hunter and I had no problem getting lost in the pages. Blame it on Runaway Ranch. That place was a character unto itself and was described so beautifully I could see it clear as day. But what really stole the show was Ruby. With her zest for life and kind heart. She wasn't going to let her condition or the grumpiest of cowboys keep her down. Even when he tried, Charlie couldn't deny the sunshine that radiated out of Ruby. Nor the pull to be in that light after years of darkness and pain. I loved seeing the softer side of Charlie. The man that loved deeply and protected those in his circle. Especially when an outside threat put his family and friends (and farm) at risk. Talk about a dangerous turn. While I saw there being something big coming, I didn't think that would be it.... Filled with family, forgiveness and friendships, Ruby and Charlie's opposites attract romance was a good start to a new series. This family and town have roots and I can't wait to get back to the ranch and see what's in store for the Montgomery brothers next. About the Author Ava Hunter is a strong believer in black coffee, red wine, and the there's-only-one-bed trope. She writes contemporary romance with healthy amounts of angst where the damsels are never quite damsels, but the men they love (good, bad and rugged) are always there for them. Her first series, Nashville Star, centers on sexy country singers and their honky-tonk drama-filled lives.
Ava is married to her high school sweetheart, loves writing strong, stubborn women that only make their men fall harder, adores all things pink, and can never ever get enough of protector romance.
