Clove Penmire, an Australian stunt woman has been
corresponding by email with Archer Jefferson and while
online, she may come across as beautiful and exciting, only
she knows the truth. However, when Clove's sister finds
out that she can't have children and that her marriage may
soon be over because of this, Clove hatches a plan of her
own. Her plan would include finding a good specimen,
getting pregnant and saving her sister's marriage by giving
her a child. However she just happens to forget to tell
Archer that she is on her way to Texas or that she plans to
lose her virginity and become pregnant before she comes
home.
It's not very often that Archer meets two interesting women
in one week! One who is just a bit plain and who seems to
hide behind her huge eyeglasses and another who is one hot
bombshell that ends up rocking and rolling with him in the
bed of his truck! He soon discovers that not only are his
two mystery women one in the same but that she's actually
his buddy Clove from Australia. The surprise isn't over
yet however when he discovers what her plan was and that it
worked times three!
Clove certainly hadn't expected Archer to find out her
secret baby-making plan and once he does, he isn't having
any parts of her returning home with his children!
Anyone who wasn't already a fan of Leonard's Cowboys By The
Dozen series certainly will be by the time they finish the
last page of this newest addition to the series. I was a
bit concerned in the beginning that I wouldn't care for
Clove's secret plans to impregnate herself by someone she
called a friend however Leonard had a way of turning the
situation into a comical but tender love story that
captured this readers heart. As I'm pretty sure, I haven't
read all of the books in this compilation yet; I'll be
adding more Leonard titles to my wish list soon.
She'd traveled to Texas for two things: A real cowboy and
a baby…
And her e-mail buddy, Archer Jefferson, fit the bill. From
his jeans to his hat to his crooked smile, the man was
more cowboy than Australian stuntwoman Clove Penmire had
bargained for — perfect for helping a friend make one
little baby.
And although she was known as a plain Jane, Clove refused
to let her lack of glamour — or the odd twist of her heart
when she saw Archer — interfere with her baby-making
mission. She'd be the one to love 'em and leave 'em this
time…until a makeover and one passionate night changed all
her plans!
Cowboys by the Dozen! Let the roundup of those Jefferson
bad boys begin!
