A cowgirl down on her luck hires a man who’s good with horses and under the hood of a car. Can Hudson fine tune Scarlett’s heart as they work together? Or will things backfire and make everything worse at Last Chance Ranch?
Scarlett Adams has had enough. Enough of men breaking her heart. Enough of her boss saying she needs to do better. Enough of the traffic and hustle of the city. So when the opportunity to take over her grandfather’s horse ranch in the hills of California comes along, she jumps at it. She’d rather spend her time with horses, dogs, and goats than honking cars, power suits, and men who don’t call back.
And she’s finally happy.
Hudson Flannigan knows three things: horses, cars, and that he’s never going to make his father proud. Not only that, but he’s disappointed his mother too. Well, his ex-wife did that when she found someone else to love, but its somehow Hudson’s fault.
When Scarlett needs help getting the rundown ranch back into shape, she hires Hudson to get all the vehicles into proper working order. The spark between them is instant and hot, but neither of them wants to endure another painful breakup. Can Scarlett and Hudson find the faith and forgiveness they need to fix themselves as they restore Last Chance Ranch to its former glory? Or will this fine-tuning of their hearts backfire and leave them more broken than before?

I liked this story overall. Clean, sweet romance. Underlying themes of learning to love yourself, trusting and relying on God and forgiveness. It was a little bit insta-love though perhaps more time had passed than I realized but their relationship really did move quickly.
Two potential negatives: I’m not really sure if it is possible to get the ranch up and running as quickly as Scarlett did. Maybe one can but it seemed really fast to me. And the other is that I really would have liked to have an epilogue to see what happened years down the road. Having children was an issue in their relationship so what happened with that? We can only guess because we didn’t get to see that far into their future.
No sex, language or violence
Fairly heavy Christian themes but no big sermons.
