Spurs & Lace by Bonnie PaulsonReviewer – KrisRating - <3 <3 <3 <3 <3The premise of this book had me really intrigued. City doctor stuck in the rugged and snow-packed wilderness with a handsome cowboy. And I am growing very fond of cowboys (don’t tell my husband – who is from Wyoming, actually). It was that and more though.Slate looks like a man’s man, but actually held a wonderful gentleness to him. He’s a vet – yeah, he helps injured animals – SWOON! More than that he has stepped up where his twin brother has fumbled and is taking care of the ranch and everything/everyone on it.Becky, or she-doc, as Slate so lovingly calls her is a firecracker! Like Slate, I was bewildered by her at times. It was really hard to say she fit a certain heroine mold – and I LOVED that. She was a city girl but seemed at home in the country, too. She really didn’t let anything handicap her.These two together were a mix of hilarity, sex appeal and frustration! We know when two characters are destined to be together, and I just wanted to mash them together like we all used to do to Barbie and Ken. Obviously, that would have take away from a lot of the funny moments and made for a bland book. Though I was frustrated at Becky’s lack of decision at times, I was rooting for Slate all the way through!This book had all of the sex appeal without the actual sex, which is never a problem for me :D I think that this could be recommended to anyone. Maybe a bit too much heavy petting for the kiddos though ;)
