Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she’s been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.

Loved Enough is a stand alone novel but for a better reading experience the author invites you to read the books in order.



Every time that I read a book by Kelly, I get completely wrapped up in everything that is going on. Lily has been best friends with Ben since forever and has had feelings for him. Years later she finds out that Ben is getting married and slowly starts to bug her but at the same time comes to the realization that it was just a friendship, not anything more. When she sees the handsome Maverick who works for her dad, she feels something in her belly that she hasn’t felt before. Maverick had a crush on Lily when he started working at the ranch, working for her dad their relationship couldn’t work right? Maybe just one dance?
