Different people can have different perceptions of the same person. Jodie sees her father as a strict and abusive man; Finn sees him as a mentor who was kind to him. Sadly, though Jodie tried to tell her sisters and aunt about what happened with her father, they didn't believe her. Eventually, Jodie decided if she was going to be blamed for doing something she didn't really do, she might as well do what she was accused of. It also affected her self-worth, making her think she wasn't good enough.

Because she wasn't believed, Jodie gave up on explaining the abuse--even when it cost her an audition. Jodie ends up keeping many secrets to herself. This seems to keep her aloof from other people. Technically, the title probably should have been wrangling the pianist's heart since it seems Finn had to do more of the wrangling of Jodie than Jodie had to do of him.

I liked Jodie getting to play for Mandie Parker's concert but I did wonder if Mandie was going to ask Jodie to go on tour with her and what that would mean for Jodie and Finn and/or if Mandie would pave the way for Jodie to have a career of her own, and again, what that would mean for Jodie and Finn long-term. Will Lauren and/or Erin keep their 2 month commitment at the ranch? What happens to the ranch after that? Will Vic get it as he'd thought or will Finn and Jodie keep it even though Finn has his own spread? Or will one of the other sisters want it.Somehow I figure the sisters will find love in Saddlebrook also. ( )
