REVIEW - Once Touched (Silver Creek #3) by Laura Moore

The Book
Release Date: 24 November 2015

For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Diana Palmer comes Laura Moore’s breathtaking final installment in her Silver Creek contemporary romance series.

The youngest of the three Knowles siblings, Quinn has in her blood the love of the land and its beautiful creatures. Raising enough money to build an animal sanctuary is a dream Quinn lives every day—while fending off her family’s well-intentioned matchmaking schemes. Though harboring secret fears about intimacy, Quinn soon realizes she cannot fight her growing attraction to a man who has suddenly entered her life.

Scarred by his months in Afghanistan and the violence he witnessed there through his camera lens, photojournalist Ethan Saunders throws himself into hard ranching work as a prescription for healing. But falling for Quinn has given him the one thing he thought he’d lost forever: hope. Ethan discovers that Quinn, like the innocent animals she rescues, is shy, and afraid of entrusting her heart to a man. Passion soon awakens Ethan’s strength, and his tender seduction may be just what Quinn needs to believe in herself—and in his love.

My Review   4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Quinn loves her animals and very much has the heart to help in rescuing animals like her horse Tucker who is skittish around men and with Quinns soft touch responds only to her.

Ethan having been in an accident in Afghanistan needs to recover in a place that is not around his concerned parents and chooses to go back to Whisper Creek, a place he loved as a child.  Here he meets bubbly and sunny Quinn who with her special ways reaches Ethan in a way no other can.

But is is only Ethan who is able to help Quinn with a problem she has wanted to get over, being a 24 year old virgin is hard and she finds it hard to get near doing the deed with any other man.  But Ethan has a soft sure way about him that not only turns Quinn on, but that she trusts him.

The supporting family is strong, the friendships Quinn has formed is strong and ultimately, Quinn gives Ethan the biggest push in order to recover and he in turn shows her that she is the only one he could ever want.
