About this listen

Jack Valentini isn't my type. Sexy, brooding cowboys are fine in the movies, but in real life, I prefer a suit and tie. Proper manners. A close shave. Jack might be gorgeous, but he's also scruffy, rugged, and rude. He wants nothing to do with a "rich city girl" like me, and he isn't afraid to say so. But I've got a PR job to do for his family's farm, so he's stuck with me and I'm stuck with him. His glares. His moods. His tight jeans. His muscles. His huge, hard muscles.

Pretty soon there's a whole different kind of tension between us, the kind that has me misbehaving in barns, trees, and pickup trucks. I've never done anything so out of character - but it feels too good to stop.

And the more I learn about the grieving ex-Army sergeant, the better I understand him. Losing his wife left him broken and bitter and blaming himself. He doesn't think he deserves a second chance at happiness. But he's wrong.

I don't need to be his first love. If only he'd let me be his last.

"Do brown eggs come from brown chickens?" she asked ! Charmingly funny farm romantic adventure without a cowboy in sight. Selfish war vet "I'm alright Jack" shut inside his grief has his world tilted by a city girl.

This story falls into quarters: the first two are ripping romance staples: the first sight, the first kiss, the first shag, the first bubble bath, all well crafted and scripted. Quarter 3 suddenly shows Jack emotionally toing and froing, up and down, fiddling and faddling driving poor Margot away. Quarter 4 draws all the threads back together.

Quarter 3 spoils this book; what had been a delightful and enjoyable story is suddenly full of angst and crippling negative emotion you never saw coming, placed upon innocent love lorn Margot, who despite being willing to accept Jack and forgive him fails to convince him to give it a go. How can you entrust your life and happiness to an unstable man? You cannot build on sand.

There are no cows or very few horses in this "cowboy" story, so feel the blurb mis-sold the story somewhat. Not my fav book by this author.

The narration is excellent.

Rating: 7/10

I understand where they were going with the story, Jack had had it bad and needed someone to bring him out of himself. It all happened so quickly, and Margo spent the latter end of the book whining about how no one wanted her. There was so so much introspection, it came out as self absorption. Then Margo was all do-goody, I couldn't listen to them congratulating themselves at the end.

I just couldn't listen to to epilogue
