Review: Lost and Found by Nicole Williams

I have read most, if not all of Nicole Williams books, and I have to say she is one of my favourite authors. As I have so many of her books and have not been disappointed by one yet, I trust a book that has her name on it, and instantly know that I am in for a good read. Lost and Found was no different!

What is this book about?

Rowen Sterling is a girl is a girl that has spent the last five years numbing her pain with boys and alcohol. When she is sent to Willow Springs Ranch in Montana for the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom, who neglected Rowen for most of her teenage years, agrees to pay for Rowen to attend her dream art school, ONLY if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.

Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.
While at Willow Springs Ranch, Rowen learns the true meaning of love and family, as she builds loving relationships with the whole Walker family. However, when her secrets are exposed to the whole Walker family, Rowen worries whether the relationship that she has forged will be strong enough to withstand the fall out this causes in her own family.
