Jun 11, Janeiowa rated it liked it. This is a good western romance. I found it to be "over-written" in the sense that every single step in every single action doesn't need to be included. If, for example, the main male character gets out of his truck and goes around to open her door, I assume he closed his own door, walked around the front or back of the truck, and grabbed the handle and opened her door. I don't need each action included.

She married Bart, that ended up being a jerk. He left her for someone that was skinny and younger. I loved her big sister Tess in this story. She was always there for Megan, and knew just what to say to make Megan smile.
She came to help Megan move after her divorce. It was Tess that went off on Bert that showed up right before they left in the moving van.

She gets a text from her sister, saying she was sorry but she wouldn't be able to make it to the fairgrounds. That gave Ryan the opportunity to spend the day with Megan. It was instant attraction. What better way to feel good again, than to spend the day with a sexy cowboy. I loved the way Ryan made Megan feel.
He was kind, and everyone in town loved him. That was the start of a sweet, and fun love story. Her parents had someone that wanted to buy the restaurant they owned. They said no, and the guy attempted to sabotage the business.

The mystery was ok I guess, but the best part of the book was the romance between Megan and Ryan. Her parents are oblivious and really only focused on themselves and in the tradition of mothers, Megan's is so focused on trying to mold her into something she not. She has a sister that is supportive but her mom compares her to her sister all the time and finds her lacking. She had a fairly trifling in reality abusive husband that she's finally free of.
Ryan sees a hot lady at the fair and decides this is the woman he wants to get to know So poor Megan! Ryan sees a hot lady at the fair and decides this is the woman he wants to get to know. He's drawn to her fiercely and wants to get around the walls that she has up. They have a great day at the fair and the connection is immediate. There romance is fun and sweet but seriously ruined by her mother. I dislike her mother intensely but I'm supposed to. End the end, the ex-husband gets his due and she gets a decent man.
The one thing that didn't work for me is Megan's ability to cater to her mother without any real hostility when her mother is such a trifling heifer! Definitely not a fan of mommy dearest.

This book was boring from page 1 with it's overly descriptive scenes where nothing actually happens. She spent like 5 pages describing how he taught her how to fish and described everything down to the letter. I wanted to gouge my eyes out of my head with a dull rusty spoon. The heroine is overly dramatic. The hero is a complete and total moron. He had all the pieces to a pretty simple puzzle and it took him days to get a clue and figure it out.

Their conversations were bland, the chemistry was non-existent, the dialogue was awkward and repetitive. Definitely did not do it for me. Even the sex scenes that were trying to be kinky and edgy were beyond vanilla.

Love it and this guy is a cowboy wow very yummy. I liked how the storyline came together with a man trying to win a woman who didn't even know if she wanted to be won. This is hard to articulate because it was such a straight forward story. I thought it was well written and the characters really drew you in. How do you tell someone you love them? How is it possible to get over someone who abuses you?
