The Rocky Mountain Cowboys series by Karen Rock is not a saccharine sweet series. You may not fall instantly in love with her characters, instead, like in real life you begin to appreciate them for who they truly are.

This is true of Bad Boy Rancher. Neither Justin Cade nor Brielle Thompson is perfect, they have pasts that they are not proud of and instead of meeting them head on, they are both hiding from their pasts. 

At times I found myself disliking the acts of one of the characters and wondering why it was written that way. But, then I realized that just like everyone else they had struggles, some of which I was not aware of at the time.

In the end though, this book is filled with loss, family, love and most importantly hope. Hope that those that are struggling with something can find that one person, place or thing that will allow them to find the courage and strength within themselves to reach out and find the help that they need to be  whole once more.
