I enjoyed this book! Now that I am a little bit older, I do appreciate it when a book features a more mature couple. Jake and Miranda have been together for thirty years and have been through a lot in those years. Their children are grown with children of their own and the whole family plays a prominent role in this story. This is the third book in the Outlaw Hearts series, which should be read in order if at all possible, and the story picks up shortly after the events of the previous installment.

Jake and Miranda, along with the rest of their family, are now living on their ranch in Colorado wanting a quieter and more peaceful life. Of course, trouble seems to find this family, and Jake is soon forced to protect his land, his cattle, and Miranda. This family has been through a lot and they have proved to be resilient if nothing else. Things look really dire at a couple of points in this story and I was eager to see how things would work out for them. This story had no shortage of exciting scenes which were nicely balanced with the more heartfelt moments.

I would recommend this book to others. This is a really emotional story with characters that feel near and dear to my heart. I love how each member of the family plays a big role in the story, including the grandchildren. My only complaint is that the story felt a little too long. I can’t wait to read the next book in this wonderful series.

I received a digital review copy of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca.

This was another great addition to the Outlaw Hearts series! It's not often that writers will follow a couple through multiple books, but I'm so glad that Bittner has done this as Jake and Miranda's story can't be told in one book.

Just as the Harkner family is finally settled into their life in Colorado, they are dragged back into the life that want to put behind them. It seems that they never seem to get a break, but with each new problem, the family just grows stronger.

Loved this story and if you haven't read the two previous books, you need to run out and get them!
