The 'what my momma would say' sayings coupled with the most tepid solitary sex scene produces a forgettable short story. I really wanted to like this book but it just made me cringe.

Instead of talking it over with her. That was not a very good move on his part. So far pretty good read. Now onto the next book, to see what's going to happen with Trevor and to see if his sister will get her a man.

This is the story of Bren Plush, not only is Plush her last name but it also seems to fit her physical description: She a waitress at the local dinner and seems to have the same mental insecurities that are, I would say common to every woman who is not a size 0. Now this is were Bren takes her li If you're looking for a quick read on a rainy day this is it!
Now this is were Bren takes her life in hand and off she goes to offer her services.. Now the reason I gave it a 3 star rating, it seemed a bit rushed and seems to be missing some parts to the story to make it more complete. Sometimes left me a little confused as to what had happened.
Also the Main focus of the story seems to happen all within about 12 hrs or so. It would have made more sense to have it spread out over a week or more. Jul 19, Annette Drewett rated it really liked it. I received this book as an ARC and as I haven't read anything from this author before, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is a great story. Bren's decision to move on with what she really wants could have gone badly for her.
Lightens up the antagonism between the brothers.

Well done Leanore, I am really looking forward to reading Book 2 now. Jul 20, Sandi Ramirez rated it it was amazing Shelves: Funny and Sexy at the same time. Great quick Read Oh my word! This book had me laughing out loud in parts. I can so see some east Texas cowboys, hot and scruffy Just her name was perfect for her character. Perfect length of a read for a hot summer night by the pool. Great details with the perfect balance of heat and laughter.
This does end in a cliffhanger of sort as it continues in more books.. This does end in a cliffhanger of sort as it continues in more books Spunky heroine who is out to get the right cowbow Spunky heroine who is out to get the right cowboy ms plush goes out to the triple k ranch seeking a job as a Cook, but finds much more than she bargains for when the hot ranch hand she heard about e job from turns out to be the identical twin sons of the owner This is a book that will have you laughing as well as cheering for the couple to work through their problems.
Bren works in a diner. Bren fancies Travis and after a few weeks of him coming into the diner she decides to go for a job at the ranch so she can be closer to Travis. This book has funny parts,wow,and omg moments with a twist to it as well. You have Bren who is very insecure and decides to go after the hot cowboy. She gets a job at his house as a cook and things get heated everywhere. I do think that it was a little rushed on some of the story line, but then again it was a quick read. I received an arc copy for my honest review.
Absolutely an enjoyable read. Quick, fun, and plenty of the good stuff. Double Plush was a blast. Looking forward to the sequel. ARC for an honest review. Pretty quick read and overall very charming male character Storyline good Way to short to be a book, more like a intro or a tease. Never a fan of these, seems like if you are going to the trouble to write like this you should make it count and become a full book offering. Interesting A cute little story. A chubby girl gets her man.

But doesn't realize he a twin, and likes Trevor. But she only had Travis name. Aug 31, Elizabeth Gardner rated it it was amazing. We know what we are lead to believe and what others wish us to think. Even today societies exist here without the knowledge of the government, groups within groups and a social hierarchy with a hidden past.
The book is based on true events and this is how these events have played out in my mind.
