Things have not been easy for Jessie Hart. Having lost her parents in a tragic accident, it has taken her and her siblings, Justin and Julia, time to adjust to all of the changes in their lives. Especially with regards to their livelihoods. With their family ranch sectioned off as three separate businesses but linked together in an unusual way, all three must succeed together to keep Heart Fire ranch alive and thriving.

This is where Jessie is struggling. Her plans to turn her part of the ranch into a rescue facility for horses is failing miserably. With little money left, and so many injured horses to help, Jessie is desperately trying to keep control of everything she loves so dearly. But when her brother calls in his best friend, city boy Nathan Kerrington, to help, Jessie's life gets a whole lot more complicated. For nobody knows just how well Jessie and Nathan know each other, and how badly her heart was broken by him all those years ago.

Nathan is determined to help Jessie and her family as much as he can, and he needs to let her know why he walked away from her in the past, but he didn't expect their intense connection to burst to life again. But will Jessie ever trust him again and give him a chance? With lies, love, passion, and danger, can Jessie fulfill her hearts desire in every possible way?

HEART'S DESIRE by T.J. Kline is a contemporary romance set in ranch country, with plenty of tension, secrets and beautiful scenery to keep a reader entertained. I enjoyed the main characters but I did find the pace of the story a little slow at some parts. But overall HEART'S DESIRE by T.J. Kline is an easy, fun read.
