REVIEW: More Than a Feeling by Sara Richardson

More Than a Feeling (Heart of the Rockies #3) by Sara Richardson: I have been waiting for Ruby and Sawyers story since the first book in this amazing series. Like with all of the other books this one can be read as a stand alone. I have read them all and enjoy going back time and time again to revisit friends and family from the previous books. This book is about trusting and having faith, finding inner strength and standing up for what you believe in. It is the amazing story of Ruby and Sawyer.

Ruby James is hiding her past. A past where she was abused, a past where she fears for the safety of her friends, of what her ex-boyfriend will do to them if he ever finds her. She tries her best to hide, but Officer Sawyer Hawkins has a way of making her so nervous, of making her want to trust him, to unburden her secrets.

Sawyer Hawkins has been burned by love. His ex-wife lost their child, a secret that he has kept to himself, kept from his family. She also cheated on Sawyer, which makes him more cautious about life and love. But there is something about Ruby, he knows that she is hiding something, he wants her to open up to him, but more than that, he wants to get close to her, protect her.

Sawyer will push Ruby to open up, and when she does, he may be angry at first, but he is also so very supportive, insisting that they can work through anything together. When Ruby’s past puts her in danger, Sawyer will move heaven and earth to save the woman that has come to mean the world to him.

I love the dynamic between Sawyer and Ruby. Yes Sawyer is a police officer, he is sworn to uphold the law, but that all goes out the window when it comes to Ruby. Yes he is suspicious of what Ruby is hiding, but instead of looking into her past, he is willing to let her tell him in her own time and in her own way. Ruby is such a brave character. Surviving what she has and still finding the strength to face her past in order to move forward left me in awe of her. The way that she wanted to protect the people on the ranch that had come to mean so much to her, to protect the foster kids who she felt a connection with was amazing.

I truly loved More Than a Feeling by Sara Richardson and although I have loved every book in this series, I think that Ruby and Sawyer are my favorite couple to date. This story is for anyone that believes that true love and a HEA is worth walking through fire.

STOP RUNNING . . .AND START FALLING

For Ruby James the Walker Mountain Ranch is her safe haven. Here in Aspen, Colorado, she can finally build a quiet life for herself without fear of her old one rearing its ugly head. Or so Ruby thinks. Any single woman would be happy to indulge a tall, dark, and curious cop-but the closer Ruby gets to him, the closer she gets to losing her newfound peace.

Police officer Sawyer Hawkins is no stranger to secrets. He’s ready to leave town for good until a security threat brings him back to Walker Ranch, and Ruby’s gorgeous green eyes soon have him second-guessing his decision to go. Her kindness and quiet strength awaken feelings he’d thought long buried, even as her reluctance to talk about her past worries him. The cop in Sawyer only wants the truth-but the man in him wants Ruby in his arms forever . . .
