Jensen has closed herself off from the world, the one thing that brings her peace is the wild horses. So when someone starts targeting them, she and Tuck try to figure out what is happening and grow closer in the process.
Every book in this series has the same plot and it is frustrating AF. I really liked Jensen and was excited to read her and Tucks book, but it's the exact same plot arc as the other two.
Man is attracted to woman.
Woman pushes man away.
They get together (kind of).
Woman gets kidnapped.
Man rescues woman.
They live happily ever after.
Rince. And. Repeat.
This could have been such a great story. I really liked Tuck and Jensen and felt like they had some really good character development. But I am completely put off by the lack of imagination in the plot.
Jensen is a struggling but fiercesingle mom who no longer trusts her intuition. Tuck has always been her protector and friend. He is a bit of a playboy and has never trusted himself to settle down. Their lifelong friendship and trust in one another lead them to a friends with benefits situation, which doesn't really work because there are too many em tions involved. I enjoyed the evolution of their relationship and the fun banter between them. I think that Tucks relationship with Noah was incredibly sweet.
Tropes: brother's best friend, friends to lovers, forced proximity, small town, single mother, friends with benefits
