Back in the Saddle (Review)

This review is for the book "Back in the Saddle" by Ruth Logan Herne. This is book one in the Double S Ranch series. To be honest at the very beginning I kept feeling like there was a backstory from a previous novel. The beginning of the book refers to the past a lot, and I felt like it was updating readers, but sure enough, this is the first book in the series. I see now that it was all just for background reference. In this book we meet Colt Stafford and Angelina Morales - one a prodigal son, and one a housekeeper with a huge secret. We find out that Angelina has a secret background and one that could put her in danger. Colt has a background that keeps him from moving forward with his family and other relationships. Both of them struggle with trust and their past throughout this book. I will say that I kept waiting for something to happen with Angelina and her past - I won't be specific so I don't ruin anything - and the thing I kept waiting for never happened, so I'm a little glad that the story line wasn't so easy to figure out. All in all I really liked the characters and this story line. I'd like to read the next book and see who it focuses on next!

Thank you to Litfuse Publicity for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
