Two military veterans find solace, and each other, on a horse ranch in this romance from the New York Timesâ??bestselling author of Wind River Undercover.

For Noah Mabry, it's easier sometimes to relate to the dogs and horses he trains than to other people. Ever since his marriage became a casualty of the war in Afghanistanâ??torn apart by the PTSD he brought back with himâ??he prefers to be on his own. At the Bar C Ranch in Wyoming, where he works with a crew of fellow military vets, his gentle patience helps tame even the rowdiest mustangâ??but he's about to meet a woman who needs a healing touch he's not sure he can give.

Dair Wilson, a half-Comanche ex-Marine who lost a foot to an IED, has been hired on to assist Noah, but her deepest wounds aren't visible. Growing up in an abusive home, she learned not to trust men, even ones who seem nothing but kind. After a wild horse sends her sprawling, the attentive care she receives from the Bar C familyâ??and especially from Noahâ??is enough to convince her she's found a place she can finally breathe easy. But one angry, damaged man poses a threat not only to Dair and Noah, but to everyone who's built a new home at the Bar C...

Fourth in the series!

Wrangler's Challenge (Wind River Valley) by Lindsay McKenna  
With action packed tales and emotionally revealing characters, Lindsay McKenna has been bridging the gap between romance and suspense for years.  Although she has a foot in both genres what appeals to me is the fact that she takes on high risks subjects that are realistic and far reaching.  For me the appeal is that she uses her voice to make a difference in the world by spotlighting topics that are controversial but no less important.  Subjects like rape, war and the after effects of the people who experience these.   Wrangler's Challenge puts two such character's center stage as they struggle with the danger they've seen, the people they've lost and the demons that followed them home.  Impactive reading that is both entertaining and informative.

Wrangler’s Challenge by Lindsay McKenna
Wind River Valley #4

Love grows slowly in this story of two veterans of war who work on the BAR C Ranch in Wyoming. Dair Wilson is has worked with dogs and lost her WMD companion and part of her leg in Afghanistan when she arrives at the ranch hoping for a job training horses. Noah Mabry is unsure she can do the job with a prosthetic leg but after a trial decides she can.

The BAR C Ranch is a haven for veterans of the military. All have PTSD and need a safe place to land. In previous books Shay & Reese and Garret & Kira have had their stories told. Through the books there has been a theme of the impact of war and also of abuse on survivors and this book continues that theme. Shay, owner of the ranch, has a particularly disagreeable father who appears again in this book – my hope is that he is locked away or put down as one dangerous horse mentioned in this book was dealt with. There is a great deal of information about amputees, prosthetic devices, healing and more in this book that will be educational for some. The main thing about these books is the team and the friendship, ties, caring and support that is found by all on the ranch. It is a bit of a fairy tale world with work and hardship but also a place to heal.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books-Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review.
