First Date: Noah Cordero and is teenage sister thought of John Cordero as their father, even though DNA would state otherwise. When John unexpectedly dies it surprises them to learn that John had a biological daughter, and he has left half of the ranch to her. From the onset Ryan pulled me in. None are related, but a family they must form and the terms of the will fan the chemistry that already exists between Noah and Roxy. I am not a fan of stories involving step-brothers etc, but this is not like that at all. So have no fear. Outside threats, character growth, lessons, laughter and swoons await you.
Second Date: I love strong women who overcome enormous obstacles and Roxy is impressive from her skills on a horse to financial management. She has had to grow up fast and while some may have faltered it drove her to succeed. What she doesn't have is a lot of trust or faith in others, so it was interesting seeing her slip into this arrangement and watch her open up. Secondary characters from sisters to villains added interests and helped move the romance along. I enjoyed the banter, stumbles and delicious heat that developed.
Third Date: The last part of the book was intense as it not only set up the beginnings of the next Wild Rose sister but a suspenseful plot unfolded that had me flipping the pages. Ryan really outdid herself from the pacing to character development. I felt connected and cannot wait to return. My third date with Dirty Little Secret left me smiling.
