About the Book:

Nick Noble hadn't planned on being the prodigal son. But when his father dies and leaves half of Silver Buckle—the Noble family ranch—to Nick's former best friend, he must return home to face his mistakes, and guarantee that the Silver Buckle stays in the Noble family. Award-winning journalist Piper Sullivan believes Nick framed her brother for murder, and she's determined to find justice. But following Nick to the Silver Buckle and posing as a ranch cook proves more challenging than she thinks. So does resisting his charming smile. As Nick seeks to overturn his father's will—and Piper digs for answers—family secrets surface that send Nick's life into a tailspin. But there's someone who's out to take the Silver Buckle from the Noble family, and he'll stop at nothing—even murder—to make it happen.







My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐

There are so many secrets being kept between various characters. Lots of twists with character relationships and backgrounds that made it a little hard to keep up with at times. Nick Noble is the main character we are following, he has returned home after 10 years away on the passing of father. He is holding a major grudge on a few people and returns determined to overturn his father's will. Side characters are: Piper, who arrives at the ranch with a secret agenda and while we know what it is no one else does. Cole and Maggy, who have their own secret they are keeping and have battles they are currently facing. Stefanie, Nick's sister who has been on the ranch all along.

I was more interested in Cole and Maggy and their situation than I was in Nick and felt like I didn't get to spend enough time with them. I found Nick hard to get to know and understand. He is very bitter and has been holding onto anger for a long time, come home for revenge but then he changes almost instantly when something is revealed. I did want to see him change and was happy with the choices he made going forward, but it his change did feel too instant. I was happy with the way the story ended for Cole and Maggy. I just didn't connect with Nick or Piper. The setting of the ranch was wonderful though.
