About this listen
Leaving is what Julia Finch does best.
When a meeting with her birth parents goes horribly wrong, Julia escapes on a hastily planned road trip and winds up breaking down in a Colorado town so small the cows outnumber the people. Completely out of her element, she takes a temporary job as a ranch hand at Bennett Ranch. She only has to survive long enough to get her car fixed, and then she’s out of there for good.
Her bad luck continues when she meets the ranch owner, Elena Bennett. Elena is unhappy, abrasive, and annoyingly breathtaking. But the longer Julia stays, the more the ranch starts to feel like home, and her feelings for Elena become impossible to ignore. She’s spent years building her defenses high and running from her past. Could a love worth staying for be the key to breaking down her walls?

Sam reminds me of the horses we rescue. Scarred, skittish, and…strong. Beautiful. He’s a bit of a hat-stealer, and, truth be told, I’m a little leery of his chosen profession. The things he does in front of a camera...well, it makes me blush just thinkin' about it. But if that scar on his face is any indication, he could use somebody at his back. I aim to be that person. And yeah, some of my parts get confused by the fact that he’s all delicate and sparkly, but that’s not important. Even if the good hand lotion has somehow made it into the tack room.

Cimarron County knows the youngest son of the fabled Prince family as a womanizing hell-raiser, but Luca has changed, and he intends to prove it. There's just one problem - a woman with sparkling eyes and more fight than a barnyard cat. After a childhood of living in foster homes, Ella Kendall has exactly three things to her name: a dog, a pig, and the rundown house she just inherited. Luca may not remember her from high school, but she definitely remembers him. He is as seductive as he was then, but Ella isn't about to fall for his flirting.

Story
Love at first sight. That’s what it was when Rip Myers came up to me in kindergarten. From that point on, we were inseparable best friends. When I work up the courage to tell Rip I love him, I am met with rejection. He tells me he treasures our friendship too much. That statement might as well be a knife to my heart. I want to hold out hope that he’ll change his mind. Instead, he moves on. The only choice I have is to pretend that doesn’t slay me.

Romance novelist Jackie Mitchell has built a life that works: few responsibilities, friends that know she’s far from outgoing, and sex whenever she needs it. She has her past, but she doesn’t think about it. Ever. All that changes when she finds the child she gave up for adoption standing on the doorstep. Now 16 years old, Beth Weber is resourceful, a blossoming artist, and a spitting image of her birth mom. To say Jackie is stunned is the understatement of the year.

Loved This Story
This book was great from the slow burn and build up of the romance by the two main characters, to the tension and support from side characters. Also loved the talk of horses and bonds and how richly the story was told as far as scenery and background. Hands down one of my favorite books in my library now.

Amazing!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. I could picture the ranch, the land and the mountains. It was so beautiful to think about. Julia’s struggle with her past and then ending up being loved so much, and by so many people, it touched my heart. And Elena loosing the love of her life to a car accident and eventually finding love again with Julia warmed my heart. Erin Zak you are an amazing writer! Brittany Pope was great narrator! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a feel good love story.

Breaking Down Her Walls
I love Erin Zak's stories! There is just enough emotion and angst and romance in each one that keeps you turning the page.
Julia and Elena are just wonderful to read. Julia is stranded and ends up working on Elena's ranch in the meantime. First impressions do not help either woman, but both of them have walls to break down - and that process is amazing to watch unfold. This was a beautiful story. ❤️
And thank you to the narrator, Brittni Pope...excellent job!! 👏👏👏
