I enjoyed reading this sweet romance with a western touch. I could relate to Lianne because I hate being controlled or having someone following me around all the time.

Ms. Daille does a nice job of showing the heartbreak and emphasizing the difference the right relationship can make for you. Why not settle in a comfortable chair and give this romance a read yourself?
