Amy Sorentino has come home to New Mexico to help her two
sisters try to save the family ranch. After their father's
death, their mother suffers a mental breakdown and is no
longer able to take care of the property. Amy's older
sister has been trying to run the ranch on her own, but
mounting debt has left the ranch on the verge of
bankruptcy.
The family has decided to pool Amy's culinary skills,
Rachel's knowledge of the ranch, and Jenna's business
skills
to open a bed & breakfast at the ranch. Amy's only problem
with coming back to New Mexico is her addiction to
cowboys.
She's not sure she'll be able to live in such close
proximity to so many cowboys and still maintain her dignity.
Kellan Reed is a cowboy through and through. He owns the
cattle ranch next to the Sorentino's and raises the best
beef in the southwest. He runs into Amy her first day back
in town and is instantly attracted to her. Kellan isn't
looking for a long term commitment, so he sets about
convincing Amy to have a no strings attached fling with him.
The sex between Kellan and Amy is amazing, but Amy keeps
trying to put a stop to things as she realizes her cowboy
addiction is quickly causing her to develop feelings for
Kellan that she didn't plan on. Kellan also is developing
feelings he didn't bargain for. Kellan quickly proves he
is
more than just cowboy eye-candy as he jumps in to help
during a family crisis and takes steps to help save the
Sorentino family ranch.
THE TROUBLE WITH COWOBOYS is a cute romantic romp. I
really
enjoyed the character development and Melissa Cutler did a
fantastic job with her descriptions of the New Mexico
landscape. I felt like I had been transported to New
Mexico
during the winter and could almost feel the wind and cold.
Kellan Reed is an absolute heart-breaking cowboy hero that
every woman is going to fall in love with and Amy Sorentino
is such a likeable character. She has sacrificed so much
for her family and I was just waiting for her to find her
happiness. THE TROUBLE WITH COWBOYS is a very quick read,
but very good and
satisfying!
It was their parents' ranch, through the good days and the
bad. But if they want to hang on to their land, their pride,
and their family, the three Sorentino sisters will have to
reinvent it from the ground up-and one of them just may
reinvent herself in the process...
Cowboys have never been good for Amy Sorentino. First her
hard-riding father bankrupted the family farm. Then her
all-hat-no-cowboy boyfriend sold her out on national
television, ending her promising career as a chef. Now she
and her squabbling sisters have partnered up in a final
attempt to save their land by starting an inn and local
restaurant. So it figures that with everything on the line,
Amy's key supplier is just the kind of Stetson-tipping
heartbreaking bad boy she's sworn to avoid. But Kellan Reed
has a few secrets of his own-and cowboy or not, Amy can't
resist this kind of wild ride...
