"A Delicious and Fun Historical Western!!"

Romance Historical

Joanna McCaine is a lovely young woman who has taken on the chores of running a farm since her folks passed away. She has a family she must take care of and will do so at any cost. But she soon finds out that men will not work for a woman. Joanna heads into town and convinces Levi, the bad boy of town, to come work for her. What she did not realize was Levi would be more detrimental to her heart than the farm. Will Joanna be able to protect her farm and heart from Levi? Or will she open her heart and soul to the only man who has captured it?

Levi Travers is a sexy man with a bad reputation. He is heading for San Francisco to start his life anew. When Joanna offers him a job on her farm, he can not resist the great money she is offering. Only Levi was not expecting the burning desire he feels for Joanna every time she is near him. Will Levi soon discover that Joanna's love is what he has been searching for all of his life? Or will the new mark against his reputation tarnish the gleam in Joanna's eyes?

CHARMING JO is a fabulous historical western that you will leave you completely fulfilled long after the story has ended. Ms. Drewry pens a tale laced with witty bantering, explosive passion and an intriguing plot that will have you turning the pages quickly to see what happens next. The characters are extremely charismatic. Joanna is a sassy, witty and has taken on the world in order to care for her family. Although she is a tough cookie, she secretly desires being a woman for a change. Levi is a hunky rogue that will leave you panting and wanting more of him. He is arrogant, stubborn and has a bad reputation to go with it. The secondary characters are just as captivating and enjoyable. CHARMING JO is definitely a must read and I highly recommend it.

SUMMARY

So far, Jo McCaine's run her Kansas ranch just fine by herself. Or so she always thought. But now she needs help – a man with a strong back and the will to work. And if she has to hire the devil himself, she will. The trouble is, she just may have found him. Levi Travers is sexier than sin, with a dazzling smile and a hello-little-lady look in his eyes that spells trouble. Big trouble. But she has no choice. . .

Levi Travers would much rather spend his time with the lovely ladies of the night at the local saloon. No man in his right mind wants to be bossed around by a headstrong cowgirl in dirty jeans. But Jo is irresistible, especially when she's ordering him around. Just the kind of challenge he likes. Levi has a few ideas on how to charm her right out of those muddy boots – and into his great big bed. . .
