This story centers around Iris Blackwell, a former trick rider from the Blackwell Belle troupe, who is now an independent renovator. While working on an RV for Butch Holloway, she meets Shane, his niece, and two nephews. Despite her growing connection with them, Iris struggles with trust issues and prefers handling things on her own. As she learns about the family's hardships, it deeply affects her, but she remains reluctant to accept any help. Meanwhile, Shane is doing his best to support his father and care for the children, with both characters navigating their emotional challenges throughout the story.

I loved getting to know Iris, Shane and the rest of the Holloway gang. This was a fun and cute little story. I must say I missed the meddling of Big E and Denny, the story was almost done before they popped up... but then again I suppose we wouldn't have gotten to see all of the sides of Iris if they had shown up earlier.

Hero is a likable and decent character who has his hands full raising his brother’s kids and managing the family ranch. Heroine has family and trust issues. The back & forth pull got tiresome to be honest but it is still a sweet read.

When Iris Blackwell, a trick-rider-turned-renovator, arrives at Shane Holloway's ranch to refurbish his father's old RV, Shane finds himself immediately drawn to her. Shane is busy raising his brother's three orphaned children and managing the family ranch. Iris, who is estranged from her mother and sisters, prefers it that way. Although Iris feels an attraction to Shane and the children, she avoids relationships. As their mutual interest grows, Shane also becomes adept at caring for the children.
When Iris's mother, grandmother and great uncle show up she is totally blindsided. She knows her mother is wanting something from her.

First let me say that this is the third book in the Blackwell Belles series. A new series that Anna J. Stewart, Melinda Curtis, Carol Ross, Cari Lynn Webb, and Amy Vastine have written together. I for one am so happy for this series. They have written three others before this. It’s a must read.

So let’s get started about this book. I absolutely loved it.. I laughed, I cried. Ms. Stewart always seems to make me laugh one minute, and then cry the next. She has a way when she writes children in her books which always warms my heart. In this book it’s also heartbreaking. You will learn why when you read the book which I highly recommend.
The book is about family about forgiveness and so much more.
You will see that Iris and Shane have some things in common in the forgiveness department. It is that which makes them open up which heals there heart.
Iris Blackwell has stepped away from her trick riding days with her sisters. She has stepped out on her own, and is happy about restoring things. When she gets a job at the Holloway Ranch she doesn’t expect Shane, and three sweet children. Then there’s Butch who hired her to work on his beloved RV.
Shane is not sure about Iris. He hopes she’s not going to take advantage of his father. He watches her carefully. At the same time He has a lot on his plate...helping his father with the ranch and taking care of his niece, and nephews. There is something about Iris that pulls him in.

Anna J. Stewart is the Queen of small town cowboy romance. This story was a delight from beginning to end. The romance was wonderful and heartfelt and I especially fell in love with Cosmo, Iris's rescue dog.
