He's mine ... don't ever forget that.

Milo lives in the barn, a cowboy through and through.
I live in a castle, but I'm not a princess.

When the only person who loves me dies, Milo's there.
As I get older, I no longer look at Milo like a big brother. I look at him like the man God made just for me.

With the first glimpse of freedom from my pathetic excuse for a father, I imagine a future with Milo. I dream of the day when we won't have to hide our feelings.

But Milo has a secret. He is not free.
The man I love is marrying the woman I hate.

Jewel E. Ann wrote If This is Love. That’s all I needed to know to make me want to read it. I didn’t even know the plot. I just dove right in. Let me tell you, this book is simply spectacular. It’s been a long while since a book kept me up all night, so even though I’m sporting bags under my eyes today, it was totally worth it.

Let me start by saying that Jewel E. Ann always has the best opening lines. Period.

“Fletcher Ellington purchased me for the bargain price of one million dollars. A gift for his wife, Ruthie.

I was four years old.”

Well, if that doesn’t suck you in like a Dyson then I don’t know what will. You might as well grab some popcorn and settle in because this is one juicy soap opera that will keep those pages turning.

The story takes place on a shady billionaire’s ranch. Fletcher is one evil bastard. I hated him and his entitled family with a deep passion. The only exception is Fletcher’s wife, Ruthie, who dotes on Indie like a loving mother should, but when she dies, Indie’s life becomes a living hell.

Indie, Fletcher’s “daughter”, is a bright light in the midst of a dysfunctional storm. It is easy to admire her keen perception—even at a young age—and stubborn soul that refuses to be crushed. As she approaches adulthood, you can add reckless and fierce to her list of attributes. I found her completely enchanting.

Horses, dirt, manure—what could possibly be sexy about that? Well, yippee ki yay! Let me introduce you to Milo. He is a cowboy and Fletcher’s right hand man. Milo has dark secrets, a sexy swagger, and a kind heart. Eight years older than Indie, he makes sure she’s cared for, and always treats her with patience and understanding. An eight-year age difference sounds icky when she’s ten, but he’s more like her confidante and friend. It’s not until she’s an adult that the nature of their relationship changes, and by then I completely forgot about their ages. I was enraptured by their love story.

Breathtaking, stunning, heartbreaking, romantic—this story has all the feels. So yeah, yet another 5-star book by Jewel E. Ann. Quelle surprise.

I received an early copy to voluntarily read. This does not affect my opinion.
