She’s here to claim her birthright…
Ex-army sergeant Abby Malloy feels no loss after the father she never knew passes away. Still, part of Ezra Malloy’s ranch belongs to her, and if the stubborn blonde has to live there for a year with two half-sisters who are strangers to her, so be it. Nothing could stand in the way of her inheritance…except a local sheriff wrapped in snug blue jeans and a sexy grin.
He’s here to claim her heart…
Cooper Wilson, the local sheriff and rancher next door, is having his world turned upside down. Abby is all straight talk and sweet, lush curves—the kind of woman who gets under his skin in just the right way. Whereas Cooper has roots in Palo Duro Canyon, Abby’s got wings. But he knows she belongs here. If she can stop running from her past, he’ll happily lead her to a brighter future, one hot cowboy kiss at a time.
I found it difficult to read this book. There was too much insignificant information that slowed the pace considerably. The dialogue was not entertaining (at least for the 2 chapters I read) and the connection seemed impatient. At the funeral in chapter one, Abby is already thinking about what it would feel like to have his hands on her. They had just met, and although its normal to read early on how attractive the characters find each other, I find it off-putting to have them imagining having sex with each other when they haven’t even had their first conversation. It seems to me like the author was in a rush to get them together, which is not a good thing in my opinion, unless of course, the characters already had a history together, which these two did not. And I have to ask, who says stuff like “What is your birth name?” as a come on line?
As mentioned earlier, I only got as far as chapter two, so that alone should express my opinion about the book.
Rating system: Cups of coffee – the less the better
0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.
My rating: 5 cups of coffee
