A Cowboy Billionaire Best Friend's Secret (Brookside Ranch Brothers) by Hanna Hart

I had a lot of different feelings about this story, most of them are moral issues. After reading the story, I sat down and thought about the issues of the this relationship. It seems to me that although neither Hunter or Rachel acted on their feeling for each other when they were younger. They had not recognized love, when their friendship was an extension of their love for each other. Rachel chose to go with the brother who paid attention to her woman, and threw off her feelings for Hunter always maintaining a confidant relationship with him. Hunter steps aside for his brother and Rachel, because he wants Rachel's happiness. When he finds out about all the pain his brother has caused Rachel, he goes in to protective mode against his brother. The problem is the promise between Rachel and his brother, and moral dilemma of coming between them. I don't question Rachel leaving Hunter's brother, especially since they were only engaged, but four years is a long time to wait to get married. "WARNING SIGN" What I question is how fast Rachel and Hunter finally get together without his family questioning his motives and the guilt that would consume me for breaking my family apart. My final thought is that Rachel should have left Hunter's brother years ago when he did not set a date for the wedding which is indicative of a man not wanting to be tied down to one woman. Although they have their happily ever after for now, the breakup of family is not a hurt that one wants to live with. As you can see, this book is deeply provocative and allowed me a deep contemplation of the depth of husband and wife and family love.
