Copper
Ridge is the series and this is the third book but
I think you can jump in if it's your first visit to town.
Hayley Thompson is the town good girl... she has to be,
she's the pastor's daughter. But living up to expectations
isn't easy and it isn't fun. Hayley feels that life is
passing her by. She makes some moves for independence and
takes a new job. SEDUCE ME, COWBOY isn't what she has in
mind, but when you step out of the comfort zone that has
trapped you, anything can happen.
Jonathan Bear builds custom luxury cabins in the rugged
Oregon landscape, and his firm keeps busy. He needs a
personal assistant and quiet Hayley, in her less than
fashionable outfit, doesn't seem a likely applicant. What
the heck, she's here. She'll do. And he won't think twice
if he has to fire her.
To me, Jonathan sounds very insecure. He had to raise his
sister and keep them out of poverty; and starting work
early meant he learned well and got into his own business
quickly. But he wants bigger and better, has to prove
himself, distrusts stability. He needs to control his day
and his life. With a Native background, Jonathan feels he's
had to work harder than most to prove himself.
I don't know why it is that some romances feature a man
wiping food off a woman's lip. I have never seen this done
unless a parent is wiping a child's face. And these two are
virtual strangers which makes it even odder. If a man did
that to me I have to say I would find it creepy. Then,
having told himself that it's wrong to make advances to an
employee, and knowing Hayley's short on life experience,
Jonathan goes and makes physical advances anyway. I thought
at the start of the tale that I would like him, but I lost
respect for him pretty fast. Still, our novels need to show
all sides of life to reflect the situations we encounter in
real life.
I also found that oddly for a small town story, there were
only four characters, and two of them showed up briefly
near the end. Maybe the other books in the series by Maisey
Yates would suit me better. SEDUCE ME, COWBOY has some
strong language and adult scenes, and features a pastor's
daughter who is trying to find some excitement in life.
Somehow she does more good than she had expected.
When a rebellious rancher meets the pastor's daughter,
it's a match made in…Copper Ridge! From New York
Times bestselling author Maisey Yates!
Sheltered from her own desires for so long, Hayley Thompson
wants to experience life. A new job at Gray Bear
Construction is a start. The work she can handle. It's her
boss—reclusive, sexy Jonathan Bear—who's scrambling her mind
and her hormones…
No matter how successful he becomes, Jonathan's reputation
will always precede him. And his type of woman is usually
nothing like prim, innocent Hayley. Yet he can't resist
unleashing the fire beneath her pent-up facade—even if
seduction means losing his heart…
