Carol Grace has always impressed me with her writing and Wild Mustang Man is certainly no exception. This story is about a lonely widower, albeit a very sexy, ruggedly handsome one, named Josh, with a five year old son named Max who is an outgoing, energetic, adorable little boy who live on a ranch in the outskirts of Nevada. Bridget, a beautiful, intelligent, woman from San Francisco,is trying to get a big account for her brand-new advertising agency and after being bowled over by the sight of Josh on a horse, attempts to enlist Josh to be the symbol for this account called Wild Mustang Man Cologne. Although Josh is extremely attracted to Bridget, he is determined not to love any woman after being devastated when his wife died...and certainly not a city woman! Bridget fosters this belief because she knows -- because Josh told her outright -- that she has no chance of any permanent relationship and she is leery of men after a recent broken engagement.In addition to fine writing, the editing was quite good, with only a few small typos that didn't distract from the smooth flow of the story. I loved the dialogue; it brought strong, clear personalities to all the characters, both major and minor ones. The imagery was wonderful and was both vivid and realistic. (I especially liked the description of the sunset shot.)There is just one sad note. Recently a new law was passed, again allowing the slaughtering of horses for meat, with the latest slaughterhouse in New Mexico. If you love wild mustangs as much as I do, please try and help get this new law revoked.As a contemporary western romance, this book was first-rate and I enjoyed reading it very much. I would definitely recommend it to readers of this genre.
