Rylee's Cowboy by Kathleen Ball

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This story is sad and very scary. Rylee lives with Clint as his nanny for his daughter Rheenie. She has an evil drunk father, and was thrown out of her home when she wouldn't abort the baby after she was raped. The evil isn't limited to her father, but it spreads to her trying to protect the family she loves. Rylee in my opinion is naive and stupid, if she thinks she has any power. She is so afraid of losing everything that her actions and silence is the one thing that will cause her to lose everything, including  the trust of the one man she loves with all of her heart. I believe Clint is justified in some of his actions, but he only makes things worse after he bring Rylee home. Clint is responsible for all the horrible thoughts that go through Rylee's head, and only brings more anger and despair into his own marriage. The worst is yet to come, and all of Rylee's and Clint's mistakes. This story left me with a sick feeling in my stomach and yet, her father was never charged with sex trafficking. The author missed some very important things in the telling of Rylee's story, but no matter what is missing, it is still heartbreaking.
