T the longer Julia stays the the ranch starts to feel like home and her feelings for Elena become impossible to ignore She’s spent years building her defenses high and running from her past Could a love worth staying for be the key to breaking down her wallsGenre RomanceWords. I was a fan of Erin Zak back when she was still writing Swan ueen fanfic and posting her updates on Tumblr That’s how we met and hung out in a time that all our gay little hearts were furiously hoping that the showrunners would take Regina and Emma’s obvious love for each other to the next level As we know they ultimately chickened out but we will always have fan fic that celebrates their love and a whole slew of new and exciting talent that originated from that fandomIt took me until a few weeks ago to figure out that fanfic writer EtotheSwan was in fact Erin Zak duh and so I had to start reading Breaking Down Her Walls in a screaming hurry I read it as a work in progress when it was a Swan ueen fic but I never saw the finished product and kinda forgot about itIt was as good as I remembered I had no problem switching to the format be it first or third person present time and I loved the ranch setting It is very much Zak’s love letter to her birth state Colorado as she lovingly gives us a taste of the mountains in all their finery If you love horses this is a must read If you are a romance fan you don’t want to miss this either The romance is slow burn as both women have some emotional hurdles to climb but oh man when they do get busy it will melt your socks That is one seriously sexy snu snu sceneToo bad for that obligatory angst at the 80% mark to happen I know it’s the go to romance format of the moment but personally I’m not a fan It does nothing for me to be honestBut other than that I’m thrilled to bits Erin got snatched up by Bold Strokes Not that I’m surprised because she was already a natural and can only grow further as an author Looking forward to ff explicitThemes city girl mountain ranch horses trust issues4 stars A free copy was provided by Netgalley and Bold Strokes Books Inc for an honest review

While this was a enjoyable read for the most part I don't share some of the same feelings as other reviewers To me Zak created a good novel but it just wasn't GREAT I had trouble with the tense that the novel was written in also first person present tense is tough and it took me a few chapters to feel the flow of the writing styleMC Julie is a runner running from her past and trying to find her place in the world but her back story didn't really show through until halfway through the novel It made it a bit hard for me to care about Julie or why she was running Her car breaks down mid run and she's forced to work on a ranch to pay off debts to get her car repaired MC Elena is the hard ass ranch boss who's been beat down by losses in life and that's made her a bit icy She's not really an ice ueen though just temperamentalWhat really bothered me most about this read is the whole ex girlfriend showing back up theme Not to spoil it for anyone but the obligatory angst that was created at the 80% mark because of the ex was a complete waste of reading time and brain cells for me and almost ruined my whole read I knocked a whole star off of my review just because of how Zak handled the whole ex situationThe premise of the novel was pretty good but unfortunately it's been done time and time again and Zak didn't put enough differences into this novel to make it stand out to me In all fairness to Zak though I was sick sick sick while reading this and it may have affected my enjoyment level All in all 3 starsMany thanks to the publisher for providing me with an ARC copy in exchange for my honest review
