Fantastic conclusion to the Cash Brothers series. I'm sad to see it end, but so happy to see all six brothers find their true loves. Porter is the last Cash brother left unmarried. He's always been the one least likely to settle down. He likes the ladies and has been known to move from job to job as he gets tired of them. But he's been dissatisfied with life lately. He sees how happy his brothers are and is a bit envious. He's got a dream of his own to have his own ranch to raise bucking horses for rodeos. To do that, he needs a steady job to earn the money for the land he has his eye on. He's gotten a job transporting rodeo animals, but wonders if that job is in jeopardy when insurance adjuster Wendy Chin joins him on his latest trip.

Wendy is a hardworking woman whose life is centered on her work and her family. She's been raised by strict, traditional Chinese parents but she longs for a life with a little more fun in it. She's aware of Porter's reputation, since she's been friends with his sister for a long time. When he dares her to let loose and have a little fun she can't resist the challenge. She doesn't expect the attraction that comes along with the fun. She's not happy about it because there's no way it can go anywhere. She knows that there's no way her parents would ever accept him. The more time they spend together, the deeper her feelings grow for him.

I loved seeing Porter and Wendy together. They are a terrific balance for each other, though both have some issues they have to overcome. Porter feels somewhat self-conscious around Wendy because he never went to college and doesn't exactly have a successful career going on. He also has some trust issues, stemming from a relationship a few years earlier, when the woman had used him to make another man jealous. He has the occasional worry that Wendy is using him for her job. But his feelings for her overpower most of his doubts. I loved seeing him introduce her to darts and karaoke. I really liked the way that he was determined to prove himself to her parents and show them that he was worthy of Wendy. I got really frustrated with his brothers and sister when they were ragging on him about his many jobs and women without noticing that he had changed.

I really felt bad for Wendy with the situation she was in. She's a modern American woman with a great job, who is smart and pretty and longs for a chance to have a normal life. But she was raised to respect her parents, their values and traditions. After a disastrous relationship in college, she doesn't trust her own judgment so has been going along with her parents' choices for her dates. The problem is that none of those nice, successful Chinese men have done a thing for her, Porter is the one her heart has chosen. She really wants to respect her parents' wishes, but the idea of giving up her happiness to do so is breaking her heart. I was really rooting for her to stand up to them.

I enjoyed the secondary story of the investigation into why Porter's boss had had several of his bulls disappear while being transported. It added a little bit of suspense and action to the story. There was also an interesting twist involving the identity of Porter's father that made a great addition to the book.

The ending was sweet and funny as Wendy's parents were treated to a parade of people pleading Porter's case. I loved Wendy's reaction and what she did afterward. The epilogue was a very satisfying wrap up.

I do not usually read romance about cowboys, they tend to run together and most plots do not fascinate me. I however was intrigued by this one because the romance was unique, an inter racial romance is quite uncommon for cowboy themed stories. I do like that these type of country romance is very family centered. I had no iea this was the last book in the series however I did not feel confused as I read this one so this can be read as a standalone.

As the story begins, I learn that the Cash brothers have quite a reputation but nearly all of them are settled down. That leaves the youngest Porter. Their family is quite usual, all of them have different fathers and were raised by their grandparents so they are even closer to each other. I did not know that Wendy was Porter's sister's friend. I think that changes things abit. Alrighty, Porter takes a job to transport bulls from Del Mar Rodeo Productions and Wendy comes along as she works for the insurance company Del Mar Rodeo has coverage under. As the two of them go on the haul, it becomes obvious that Wendy has more on her agenda then just overseeing the processes of transporting the animals. She wants to investigate if Del Mar Rodeo is cheating it's insurance company by making their animals disappear.

Things become complicated, typical as the two of them become attracted to each other. The problem? Wendy is Chinese and her parents are very strict in the sense that they want to pick who she marries. Ridiculous? Not really, as one myself, I am familiar with how traditional Chinese families are. Granted some are open, most hold to their ancestors beliefs. It may sound very harsh and narrow minded but Wendy's parents are a good portrayal of the really strict ones.

I was disappointed that not even 100 pages into the book, they were succumbing to their feelings. There was a part of me that felt that Wendy was unprofessional which is odd because she takes her job so seriously and does not let things slip by her. I felt that her giving into her feelings for Porter would compromise her investigation. It really makes me annoyed that such a capable woman could be reduce to mush because a guy is hot. Okay Porter is really different for Wendy. I like how he makes her loosen up but really for a girl who only dates men her father puts her up with the last few years, having someone like Porter show interest would be a thrill for her. I found the scene where she was tipsy and declaring how she does not have the curvy body like most American women hilarious though.

I do have to admit a part of me wanted to see them pull through. Wendy also has skepticism because her first love broke her heart and so does Porter. There is more going on then just lust. I like that the story focused on the investigation and I got to see how things work in the world of bronc and bull riding.

Initially I was not surprised with how skeptical his sister, Dixie felt about their romance. It actually felt harsh the way she spoke to Wendy when she found out not to mention they are friends and not strangers. Generally I think his family sees him as a fun loving unattached guy though he has dreams of settling down with a wife and a ranch of his own. I liked his ambition and what he was willing to do to keep Wendy. It was interesting having the added conflict on him potentially discovering who his father is and how he deals with that. I found it cool how Wendy proposed to him instead of the other way around, I know how traditional cowboys are. It felt like tipping a hat to equality between both genders. Women should be proud of their decisions and not feel afraid to ask for what they want.

This is a quick read but it turned out to be rather meaningful.
