After countless attempts to speak with the owner of the retreat for troubled teens she runs on the outskirts of Lone Tree, Montana, Caitlin Myers resorts to kidnapping Brandon `The Ogre of Lone Tree¿ Barnes in a desperate attempt to change his mind about turning Stoney Brook into a vacation resort for the wealthy.
Retired rodeo star, Dalton Barnes, gets the surprise of his life when he¿s abducted by a soft-spoken female with a `gun¿ and taken to the retreat his family owns. He soon learns she¿s kidnapped the wrong cowboy by mistake. She wanted his brother. Things go from bad to worse when a late spring snowstorm strands them together at the cabin. But it¿s during their snow-in that Dalton learns why Caitlin has gone to such lengths to save Stoney Brook. Having had issues with his older brother himself and a not so happy past, Dalton promises to do what he can to help her.
When confronted Brandon tells Dalton he¿ll hold off on his plans for the retreat, but only if Dalton agrees to stick around and help run it. Keeping his promise to Caitlin, Dalton agrees and what starts out as a common goal to turn the troubled teens¿ lives around that summer ends up turning theirs around as well. Can a man who has always avoided putting down roots and a woman with a deep-seated fear of abandonment hang on to the happiness they¿ve found together? Or will the past return to threaten their newfound love?
Love, laughter and a heartwarming read¿
Cute & Funny Read I love the cover and this was definitely a cute read, but it just didn’t grab at me as I found myself able to put it down too many times. Caitlin’s kidnapping in the story was quite funny, and I admired her never give up attitude towards saving the camp. The romance between her and Dalton is really quite sweet and definitely humorous. I did however find some inconsistencies that bugged me enough to distract me from the story. Overall I’d say it was a solid 3 star book.*I received…
Smexy Cowboy Romance This is a terrific read! I was in the mood for a sweet and spicy romance, that’s just what Ms. Brookes serves up!I love Caitlin and her schemes, that go awry. She has her heart in the right place, she just seems to be a touch accident prone. That adds to her love-ability! I did find some of her reactions at the beginning of camp a touch untrue, she has been running this place for years, she should be more adept at controlling things from the start. Fortunately, she shows real skill…
Beware of curling irons! This book from given to me from Netgalley for an honest review. I found this book to be very entertaining, it was very cute and had me giggling at times. I loved Caitlin, she was just absolutely adorable. I mean come on now a curling iron? lol It honestly sounds like something I would do though so I can’t make to much fun of her. Plus the whole “accident waiting to happen” thing is me also. That poor girl could probably stub a toe while sitting in a padded room. And oh so yummy…
