As the middle son, Trey Blackburn dedicates his days to the family business, working to ensure that they remain at the top of the saddelbred industry. His time away from the farm is another story. Not one to get tied up in a long-term relationship, he's the love 'em and leave 'em sort of guy. But Trey's hesitation to commit might be deeper than not wanting to put in the time and effort. His reluctance may have more to do with the blond beauty who just blew back into town and the things they left in the past that have been neither forgiven nor forgotten.
Holland Rhodes may not have been born into the Blackburn name, but she was once considered part of the family. Having a less-than-ideal home life, Holland spent as much time as she could with the Blackburns, the quintessential dynasty full of love and southern hospitality. Dubbed an honorary member, Holland thought their connection would last a lifetime, but one shocking revelation changed everything.
Having left Shelbyville for a fresh start, Holland has limited her time back in Kentucky for the past decade, avoiding both of her families-the one into which she was born and the one into which she was welcomed. But the death of her father and the uncertain future of the family business has brought Holland back to face her past, one Blackburn at a time.
With old feelings reignited and ready to move their relationship forward, everything crashes to a halt when tragedy strikes. Their painful history in danger of repeating itself, Trey and Holland may find that even true love can't overcome the darkest davs.

Trinette Dungee Review 4 Star Review
Growing up, the Blackburn’s were more family to Holland Rhodes than her own parents. Since leaving for collage, it’s been more than ten years since she’s been home or seen parents. Now she’s back to bury her father and help her mother tie up his affairs, and this means reconnecting the Blackburn Family including Trey Blackburn. Unbeknownst to everyone she knows/knew, Holland’s reason for leaving Shelbyville behind had more to do with Trey Blackburn than anything else.
For Trey Blackburn the return of Holland Rhodes to Shelbyville, means facing his past. Bringing up old memories, acknowledging the hurt and pain he inflicted on her as well as himself. It means finally coming clean to Holland, and maybe even having a second chance with her. It also means possible hurting someone close to him in order to have that second chance.
I loved this series so much, this by far was my favorite book. A second chance romance where once again Sawyer has given just the right amount of spice, angst, tragedy, heartbreak, and a little bit of a love triangle. The pace and the flow were perfect. The chemistry between the two characters was something of a slow simmer, and it was perfect for them and this story. I didn’t care much for Trey in the first two books, but I liked him a little better in this story. Is he my favorite Blackburn brother? No. However, he is the brother that, to me, sacrificed and gave up the most which makes him the one I respected the most. He was definitely a “suffer in silence” type of man that tugged at my heartstrings.
Without giving away too much, Sawyer Bennett has yet again thrown a curve ball in a story that steals your breath. The curve ball was one of the things that made me love this book so much. Everyone wants a HEA, but sometimes the author has to take the unpopular road and shake things up a bit. That can sometimes be a risky move, but I think the risk paid off. I’m still in my feelings about it.
