No way, blue jay, and never again. That’s the vow Linney Van Horn has made regarding single dads and their adorable children. After all, that’s why she’s tucked tail and hauled herself and her beloved Arabian horse clear across the country from New Jersey to the small town of Venture, Colorado. To mend her bruised heart—and ego—and start over.
However, the good Lord has a different “do-over” in mind for Linney. She finds herself living next door to Stonewall “Stone” Wheeler, the frustratingly stubborn, but oh, so ruggedly hand-some farrier, and his seven-year-old son, Beau.
A widower, Stone has buried himself in his work to avoid the grief of losing his wife. Deter-mined to grow his horse-shoeing business and raise his child, falling in love is the last thing on his mind. Until an equally stubborn—but pretty as a daisy—teacher moves into the cottage besides his, and charms both him and his son.
Divine intervention. Yup, it’s a beautiful thing.
It’s going to take one adorable little boy, a pair of spirited horses, and a near-fatal accident to
convince Linney and Stone a second chance at a Grace-filled forever is theirs for the asking.

Summary
Determined to have nothing to do with single dads and their children, Linney settles into her new life in Colorado. With a handsome widower next door and a charming seven year old boy, she finds that it's easier said than done to not fall in love.
The thing about this kind of story is that you kind of know the two characters are going to be attracted to each other, resist it, and ultimately get together by the end. So the appeal to keep reading such a story is the journey the characters take to get to the end. I really liked Linney. She was fun and kind.
To be honest, I wasn't all that fond of Stone himself. He came across as rather rude and, even though he was handsome, I just couldn't see why Linney fell for him.
This is a must read for those who enjoy contemporary, inspirational stories.
