Blurb:
The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar. To avoid the swarm of whispers and finger pointing every time I dared to show my face in public, I fled two hours south to Atlanta and never looked back. Over the last decade, I’d planned hundreds of scenarios about how our next meeting would go down. The expletives I’d hurl at him. Which knee I might use to annihilate his balls. Which dimpled cheek on his ridiculously handsome face I would send a stinging slap across.
But being elbow deep in a cow’s ass was not one of them.
Normally, I didn’t get up close and personal to a bovine’s rectum. At least not since veterinarian school. But desperate times found me back home to attend my grandfather’s funeral, who happened to be the town’s large animal vet. Those two facts had left me wading through manure in Roy Wallace’s pasture to care for a distressed heifer.
While time and maturity seemed to have changed him from the boy I knew, I still wasn’t falling for his charm. Or his hard, chiseled body. Or ass you could eat dinner off of.
No, I wasn’t going back down that street again. Unfortunately, Declan didn’t seem to get the message. Instead, he seemed as stubborn as he ever was and ready for a fight. It’ll be the fight of his life for me to let him back in my heart.
I have always been a Katie Ashley fan. Reading Reining Her In was one of the easiest things that I have done lately. I loved this story and the story line. The characters were amazing and so well written. Katie Ashley reined me in from page one. 
Yes, you have no choice but to hate Declan in the first chapter then you get to know him and can’t help but fall in love with him. Your heart breaks for Peyton but you cheer her on as she picks up her life and moves on. She becomes the woman her Papa always knew that she would. But, not in her home town. She’ll never go back there again. Until she has no choice. Declan never left Hayesville. He married and started a family with one HELL of a woman. Now he’s paying the price. He’s getting through, trying to make everything right for Camden and never expected to see Peyton back in her hometown. But, now that she’s here, it’s time to reclaim the one woman that he never stopped loving. Even if it meant stalking her. As Declan pleads his case and Peyton shuts him down at every turn, you can’t help but root for him. He’s persistent, smart and unstoppable. Now, he has to find a way to show her that’s he has changed, that he never stopped loving her and for her to give him another chance. With a little help and a whole lot of perseverance, he finally gets her to see that he’s worth that second chance.
I loved this story. Like I said, it was an easy read. Like, a one sitting read. Declan and Peyton were wonderful, combustible and hysterical. When you hear his reasoning, you understand. When she let’s her temper go, you understand. When they finally get back together, you cheer! I loved the humor and the drama … they definitely went hand-in-hand and only added to this wonderful story.
