It seems ranching is harder in the modern world, and the family ranch has more than one problem facing it. Though Wade wants his family to sell, he sticks by them as they fight to keep it, even riding into the high country to fetch down steers himself. All this was just icing on the cake for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I was sold\u00c2\u00a0as soon as\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I found out he was a hot\u00c2\u00a0lawyer in cowboy boots&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I must admit that I liked Nikki Powell a bit less on our first meeting, but the poor woman had lost her estranged father, along with her wallet and all of her money. It did not take her long to win me over, and I was rooting for Nikki and Wade to get together. It was clear that they needed each other, whether they knew it or not.<\/p>\n<p>I give five stars to Victoria Vane&#8217;s first contemporary romance. The good news is, she has at least three more on the way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<em>In rural Montana\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<br \/>\n<\/em>Wade Knowlton is a hardworking lawyer who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s torn between his small-town Montana law practice and a struggling family ranch.
