"Abbie Spears was branded into my soul."

Welcome back to Hallow Ranch. 

I have been WAITING for Beau and Abbie's story and to say I absolutely love them is an understatement. 

Taking us back into Hallow Ranch years later, Brittany, yet again, makes us fall in love with all the boys in her universe. After Abbie places a call to Red Snake Investigations, Beau brings her back to Hallow Ranch to protect her. Whether either of them want her to be there or not. 

Their story is truly heartbreaking and beautiful. Six years after the worst heartbreak for both of them, are forced back into each others lives. Abbie is so strong and resilient after everything she goes through and she still manages to come out the other side with a smile. And Beau? A headstrong cowboy willing to die for the woman who broke his heart. 

I loved that their relationship was rocky coming back. The push and pull of hatred, anger, sadness and angst. They mended each other's broken souls, and claimed their beauty in the pain of the other's years apart. 

And having all the others back? *chef's kiss*
