They don't want a new hotel if the resident mustang population will be displaced or hurt as part of the deal. Then Brie meets Logan, a gorgeous local who has a special connection to the mustangs, and she is immediately drawn to him . . . and the horses. However, with Logan's father leading the protests and Brie's father refusing to budge, it's clear that their parents are heading towards an all-out war. Can Brie and Logan find a way to save the mustangs and be together? Or is their love doomed from the start?

Brie is used to constant travel; she's not accustomed to caring passionately about a cause-or a young man.Brie's dad is a land developer, so they move from place to place worldwide. Home-schooled, Brie has never made attachments. When she and her parents move to a one-main-street town in Wyoming, the welcome is frosty, as its citizens protest the uprooting of the wild mustangs for the hotel Brie's dad is building. The loudest opponent is the father of a handsome, kind, cowboy-hatted boy named Logan. This quickly becomes more than a budding romance between Brie and Logan, as they take up the cause to create a sanctuary for the mustangs. She finds within herself a stirring love for the horses and a deep desire to do something good. However, caught in the middle of the heated battle, this is the first time Brie has contradicted her father and the first time she's fallen in love. Burkhart's uncluttered prose easily develops both characters and complications, making for a smooth-reading romance. Each chapter is headed with a pithy quote-"Cowboy proverb: The bigger the buckle, the better the cowboy"-lending light wisdom to the tale. This inspiring look at the plight of undomesticated landscape and wildlife nestled in a tender romance is a surprisingly sweet and resonant story. (Fiction. 12-18) -

When Brie's hotel-developer dad moves her family to Wyoming, she meets Logan and romance ensues. Their fathers battle over land inhabited by mustang horses; the teens propose a compromise that, predictably, fixes all. Burkhart's serviceable characters will entertain readers in search of undemanding, uncomplicated fare, though they'll likely be disappointed by how easily Brie and Logan part ways at the end.(Copyright 2015 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
