Home to Wind River

In Lindsay McKenna's Home to Wind River, the 7th installment in the Wind River contemporary romance series, this wonderfully written romance novel would move you to tears. For Lily Thompson, she was a volunteer at a dog's shelter and a Army Nurse veteran from the war in Afghanistan. When she was offered a job as a caregiver for Jake Murdoch's mother who had broken her lip, she took on the two-month job and helped Jenna Murdoch out. From there, she had developed a kind friendship with Jake, the foreman of the Wind River ranch, and a Marine Corps vet who had PTSD. For Lily, they had beautiful music together as she took care of Jake's mother and dealt with the flashbacks she had on night along with nightmares, and bad PTSD episodes. He helped her gradually overcome them and then let it out. And within time, he showed her how healing and cathartic it was to ride a horse at the ranch as they reached out for each other. And when Lily rescued a pregnant dog, she cared for it and let it open Jake's heart as they watched the puppies grow together. After her two months were up and when Jenna returned to Casper, Lily explored new career options as Jake and Lily let their feeling grow to something magical and beautiful into love and a future.

This was a wonderful contemporary romance novel that deals with hard-core topics like PTSD and the aftereffects from the war. I loved the Wyoming ranch settings that eases the anxiety and the pain from PTSD, day and night. It has mesmerizing scenic settings and eye-popping locations in Wyoming. I cared for Lily and how she found a new home on the ranch and the perfect she found a new career to take care of horses to dogs. I also found Jake a charming foreman of the ranch who wasn't looking for love and who he at least expected it when Lily came in. I think they were a perfect match together. I also did love Sage and her pups too.  This would make you sigh deeply and want some creature comfort of your own with non-stop action, drama, suspense and lots of good loving.
