Book Review / Rustler's Moon by Jodi Thomas

On a dirt road marked by haunting secrets, three strangers caught at life's crossroads must decide what to sacrifice to protect their own agendas...and what they're each willing to risk for love.

If there's any place that can convince Angela Harrell to stop running, it's Ransom Canyon. And if there's any man who can reveal desires more deeply hidden than her every fear, it's Wilkes Wagner. Beneath the rancher's honorable exterior is something that just might keep her safe...or unwittingly put her in danger's path.

With his dreams of leaving this small Texas town swallowed up by hard, dusty reality, all Wilkes has to show for his life is the Devil's Fork Ranch. Though not one to let false hope seduce him, he can't deny the quiet and cautious beauty who slips into his world and changes everything.

Lauren Brigman finally has freedom at her fingertips. All she needs is her boyfriend's attention—a look, a touch, some sign that she's more to him than a girl he rescued one dangerous night. But now it's her turn to rescue someone, and the life-altering decision may cost her more than a chance with him.

MY REVIEW

Another wonderful instalment of the lives of the people living in Ransom Canyon.  This time we follow a few characrters...

First you have Angela who is running away from her past but as we all know the past always has a way of coming back and biting us in the bottom!  Luckily she finds a friend in Wilkes Wagner, although I am pretty sure that is not all they want to be lol!    I really loved the interaction between Angela and Wilkes.  Its more of a teasing/loving/friendly relationship.

Next you have Lauren Brigman, who we saw in the first book and is the sheriff's daughter.  This time we see her point of view where she is now dating someone and is struggling to connect with them.  I won't go into too much detail with this part of the story as it will contain spoilers from the first book.

A really great book 2 in this series.  I am sensing a theme here where we stay in Ransom Canyon but follow a few specific characters but also have a lot of background characters who tend to pop up in most of the books.  That gives the stories a lot more depth and just makes me enjoy them so much more.

Now, onto book 3.......
