This is my first reading a Becky Mcgraw book and I must say that I immensely enjoyed reading it. Those random acts of getting a book is really a good thing sometimes.What I like best about this book aside from the hot cowboy Dean, is the humor. I know most people who read romance is all for the romance and the hotness of this possible book boyfriends but book humor always gets me. I really think Tina and Dean complement each other very well. Tina being the fun part of the story and Dean being the grumpy and cranky part but I’d say very forgivable being the hotness that he is.Story wise, I like that this story is not just about romance but also  about family. I was deeply  touched with the unselfish love Tina has for her niece and Dean’s tremendous love for the son that’s not even his biologically. It shows what real family is made of and how real friends are to each other in times of trouble.The part where Jeremy was telling everybody about his Dad and the chicken really cracked me up. He was really too cute and I can imagine him while reading about it that I want to go inside the book and pinch his cheeks. Mr. Cranky Pants a.k.a. Dean’s reactions to situations either always had me laughing or annoyed. However, annoying as he is sometimes, I like how he tries to make up for it. And really, seeing that his plate is full and there’s so much he needs to handl, I kind of think he’s reactions are understandable.Usually, it’s the hero that get us hooked into reading a romance book but in this case for me it’s Tina. I was looking forward and even eager on what she’s about to do next. How he get Dean to model for him, the way things turned about in the lake, how the job promotion turned to something unexpected… I learned to admire her character throughout all that. And I think any guy seeing all that has no choice but to fall in love with her. And I love how Tina never second guess herself when it comes to giving Dean a piece of her mind when it comes to his family and Jeremy. Even the condom thing cracked me up although I hate how Dean reacted into it.Hope and Cord was something I enjoyed reading about too and I’m definitely looking forward to reading their own story (if there isn’t one yet). I can see how much Hope loves Cord and that really made me curious about their story, how they fell in love with each other and how they ended up together.However I love the chemistry between Dean and Tina, I’d say my favorite characters are Laney and Jeremy. This book wouldn’t be as it is without the two of them. The drama and the humor that these little kids brought to the story was like icing on the cake. Specially that part where Jeremy spent the night with her mom.Except for the Epilogue, I’d say this is one of the cowboy stories that I enjoyed reading the most.  Will definitely look forward to the next installment of the series.
