Nothing like a wedding to get a girl dreaming of happily-ever-after . . .

Kessed Ling’s best friend’s big day is finally here. It’s especially exciting because it’s Kessed’s chance to show her childhood crush she’s not just a young bridesmaid, she’s a full-grown woman—with red hot desires. But when her long-awaited prey barely blinks an eye at her, Kessed retreats right back into her deeply guarded heart. Doesn’t matter that chivalrous Jasper Matthews steps in and offers a shoulder to lean on. Kessed is no longer in the market for a man, despite how unsettled the strong, silent groomsman makes her feel . . .

As a veterinarian, Jasper better understands a skittish filly than he does willful Kessed Ling. But when fate finds him playing ranch hand alongside the raven-haired beauty, Jasper realizes she’s a woman running scared—and he’s just the man to tame her. So with soothing words and bold kisses, Jasper sets out to show Kessed how good it can be between a man and a woman.  Especially when the man is falling hard and fast in love . . .
 
“Obsessed. That’s how I felt while reading this book, like every page was better than the previous. Just try to put this down, I dare you.”

Review
Can a childhood crush truly affect adult relationships?
In Kessed's case that's a big fat yes. She's been in love Sterling, her best friends brother, for as long as she can remember. He's always seen her as a sister, nothing more.
He goes off to join the marines and she spends her time never getting close to anyone because their not him.
Her best friends wedding day, she'll come face to face with her crush. Dressed to impress she hopes to catch his eye only to once again be let down.
This is where Jasper comes in.
New town vet, friend of the groom and attracted to Kessed.
She fights it, gives him so much hell. This woman is truly a pain in the ass, but I do have to agree with her adoration of red boots! She's been in love with one man for so long she just can't understand why her body would betray her and make her want someone else.
Jasper has to be a saint. To put up with so much lip from that woman and still never give up.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
Loved Jasper and Kessed, Sterling sort if ticked me off with his timing but thankfully things worked out.

Author Bio


Kristin's inspiration for the romance she writes comes from her tall, dark and handsome husband with killer blue eyes. With five children to chase, she is never at a loss for someone to kiss, something to cook or some mess to clean but she loves every moment of it! Life is full—of blessings and adventure! Needless to say she’s a big fan of coffee and wine…and living in Washington she’s within walking distance of both!
