The Barn Dance by Camryn Rhys* I received a copy of this book from Breathless Press in exchange for an honest review*Mindy ran away six years ago after declaring her love to Leo after a night in the hay.  When he didn't give her the response she wanted, she left devastated.  She lost her job and was thankful to land the job on Leo's farm, even though she'd have to finally face him again.Leo has never gotten over Mindy.  Six years ago he was young, foolish and scared to death when Mindy expressed her love.  He is not happy when his father hires her to work in the kitchen but he is determined not to let her get to him.These two love each other but they have so many other feelings to work through before they can be happy together.  They are still angry with one another but the underlying sexual tension is obvious.  Each feels their anger is justified but in reality, at the root of the problem is miscommunication.They were so young when they went their separate ways.  She was upset with him for not coming after her and he was angry because she left and never looked back.  Their youth and inexperience had a lot to do with their problems.Mindy's exploits in the kitchen are hilarious; I couldn't wait to see what she was going to mess up next.  Leo's compromise is the perfect solution to her problem.  It might actually allow her to keep her job if she can keep her hands off Leo.  In the end, these two were definitely cooking more in the kitchen than their bread and it fun to see the actual recipe at the end of the story.I loved that Mindy's sexy cowboy didn't make the same mistake twice.  They have both grown up but still have some trust issues.  Rather than allowing Mindy to run away again, he is determined to show her that he loves her and she is worth fighting for.Overall I enjoyed this story and give The Barn Dance 4 Flaming Hearts.
