By paisley hope

No one can say they DISLIKE the taste of a Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie. The recipe is tried and true. But, rarely does it stick in anyone’s memory as a distinctive dessert experience. I would say the same about the plot of this novel- girl returns to her family’s ranch in a small town where she reconnects with a reformed cowboy who she knew from childhood. This book stuck to the script. For me, I didn’t DISLIKE the book but I also can’t say I liked it or that I will remember it. 

There just wasn’t much going on for me. This book felt so straightforward to me as to be boring at times. The main characters were likable but also indistinct. 

To the author’s credit, she did develop secondary characters who I’m very curious about and I would definitely consider reading other books in the series. 

This is not a bad book, and I think it will hit the spot when you’re in the mood for a family ranch, girl meets cowboy, small town romance. But I don’t think you’ll write home about it.
