I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Trey has been on his own most of his life and after a falling out with his foster brothers, he's become even more closed off. When the pampered daughter of the rich rancher he works for, takes a liking to him, he knows he should stay away but he feels something for her too.
Daisy knew falling for one of her father's loner ranch hands would be a bad idea but Trey drew her to him like no other. When someone with a vendetta finds out about them, it starts off a chain of misunderstandings, hurt, and angry that Trey and Daisy have to fight themselves out of. Texas life isn't for everyone but if Trey and Daisy can find their way back to each other, they just might be able to make a go of it.
 
Trey March had been the forbidden fruit. The man who was more exciting, more dangerous, more man than the one she'd been engaged to marry.
 
This is third in the Lost Sons series and if you haven't read the other two books, like me, it will become immediately clear that this is not a standalone. I checked twice to make sure I hadn't missed or skipped over a prologue as I felt jarringly thrust into Trey and Daisy's aftermath of relationship, a relationship we never see at this point. Later on we are told they were drawn to one another and meet secretly in a barn but that's it, no flashbacks to their first attraction and growing of relationship. What we do get to see is Trey thinking Daisy's father was a villain and blaming Daisy by association and Daisy being hurt by what she thought was Trey's voluntary absence. I feel like a broken record but where was the romance? I want to see my leads falling in love, which was absent here. In fact, I never felt any chemistry between the leads. Even when their misunderstandings get figured out, all we get is Daisy still saying she’s drawn to Trey and Trey not thinking he loves Daisy because he doesn’t know what that emotion feels like. It’s not until the very, very end, after spending a week alone, that he begins to think he could love Daisy.
 
He'd come a long way in miles, but no closer to finding any kind of peace.
 
The series seems to be about three men who meet each other at an orphanage, are sent west by train, and end up being adopted by the same man. While our hero Trey talks fondly of his brothers, they seem to have had some falling out that isn't described too clear here but if you had read the previous books, would understand. Daisy our heroine ends up being connected to that storyline also, which was a bit of an over coincidence. Towards the end, the heroes and heroines from the previous books make appearances and the storyline of the brothers' discontent with each other is resolved, continuing readers of the series will appreciate this.
 
Cowboy Come Home was originally published in 2011 and is being reissued; I wish they had re-edited it too. There were some choppy scenes but what really stagnated my reading was the numerous repeated scenes. The characters would repeat and rehash statements and facts that had already been told to the reader, it got very bogged down in repetitiveness.
 
If you've read the first two in the series then you'd probably enjoy this third one and how it wraps up the brothers' story. If you're new, I wouldn't suggest starting here. There was a lack of romance between the leads and the villain storyline got convoluted with minor characters trying on the role and our leads being dragged around on some pointless excursions.

The only thing a man like him could count on was the land and his own courage. He wanted this land. Wanted this woman.

Much better than I expected!I saw that the main characters had been married already for five years, and I was prepared to read a book full of marital strife. Fortunately, that's not this book. However, this couple did have some issues to work through to keep their marriage on track, and to resolve pain from their unhappy childhoods.What I liked:*Even though I don't normally reach for a romance with a couple who's been married this long, it was kind of refreshing. The problem in their marriage is not a lack of love. They are just going through growing pains, and they need to spend time on their marriage when their careers had come between them for far too long. I saw two people who were committed to stay together and truly did love each other, and that made this a touching and emotional read for me.*Both Leila and Rafael show what a married couple needs to do. They have to make sacrifices for the well-being of their counterpart. This is what love is. I could see this happening with both. They had a mutual commitment, and it was merely a matter of fear (of rejection or not measuring up) that made them seem disconnected from each other. In the end, they realize that their love is stronger than any fears and shortcomings that might temporarily interfere in their bond.*Although I lack any personal experience with anorexia, I feel that the author's choice to feature a heroine who battled this disease adds depth to her characterization. It gave me something to think about, although I feel that she just scratched the surface of this issue with this book. I have to give this four stars because it had some deeper levels than I expected, and I was touched by the love that Leila and Rafael shared. I rooted for them to get their loving marriage back on track, and fortunately they were able to do so. This was a good addition to the Wolfes series.

Another wonderful addition to The Notorious Wolfes. Here we meet the family outsiedr, Rafael da Souza and his supermodel wife, Leila Santiago. Rafael had been the excluded bastard child growing up. His oldest brother had tried to include him as much as possible, but he knew his father hated him, and that his mother had to work two jobs to barely survive. Even though he had married Leila, they had spent much of the five years working on separate goals adn lifestyles. He wanted a true family, even if he wasn't sure he could be a good father. Leila had battled poverty and anorexia. The miscarriage she had suffered thru alone made her even more aware of how crippling her disease was. Having to face her deepest fears, she must work with Rafael to succeed in carrying their children to term. Together, they work to share their fears, so they can embrace the love they share.

Generic style and hard to follow plot, but had a few good gut-wrenching moments.
