Raising cattle is hard work, but Chet Wilde’s been doing it since he was a boy. It’s the kind of grind that takes a toll on a man and reveals who he is, deep down. What kind of man is Chet? He may just be the last real cowboy. He carries himself with a quiet dignity that commands respect from everyone he meets. Lately though, Chet’s started wondering if there’s more to life than work.
Christy Harris hoped moving halfway across the country would help her escape the problems in her life. Namely, her abusive boyfriend, Mark. Not willing to let go that easy, Mark follows her west, determined to maintain control over every aspect of her life. Christy’s at her wits end, and is losing hope of ever being happy.
After a chance encounter brings them together, the chemistry between Chet and Christy is undeniable. When Chet witnesses Mark’s abusive nature, he’s not the kind of man to sit idly by.
Is Christy ready to recognize the difference between control and protection? Will Chet’s feelings for her be too much? Or, will she accept the same truth he already has? They’re meant to be together.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Taking What Is Mine is a wonderful story of finding love again written by a husband and wife. I’ve read several books by Abby Brooks, and was thrilled to get this collaboration with her better half. Chet and Christy are such a sweet couple, and the way he stands up and shows up for her as she’s trying to get out of an abusive relationship is absolutely endearing.
Chet shows over and over again how different he is from Christy’s crazy ex, Mark, and it’s not just because he’s a rancher! Chet is thoughtful and pensive, and is the type of guy who only speaks when he has something important to say. So when he voices his opinion about what Christy deserves, she listens!
I can’t wait to see what Brooks and Wright come up with for the rest of the men in the Wilde family! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
