'The Princess of Coldwater Flats'  introduces Sammy Jo the beautiful, headstrong, former rodeo queen and current owner of The Triple R Ranch to tall, rich and handsome Cooper Ryan in a flash of a bang. She stomps into the small town bank boots in all and confronts the manager about outstanding loans against her ranch made by her father. In short she has very little time to save her family home and her new neighbor Cooper Ryan isn't going to make it easy for her. I liked Sammy Jo's character a lot  because she was so stubborn and Nancy Bush did a great job of capturing the vulnerability underneath her tough go it alone exterior. Cooper comes in as the older, former corporate farmer and CEO looking to settle down in Coldwater Flats, Idaho. He clashes with Sammy Jo over everything and that made for some really sexy hate/like/lust scenes. I liked the supporting cast of townspeople who spent a lot of time judging Sammy Jo. This aspect really does speak to life in a small town and the gossip factor that comes with that. My only critique is that Bush could have spent a bit more time fleshing out the background of Cooper's character. The story came off a bit one sided in that it focused a lot on Sammy Jo. This would have given us a bit more story and in my opinion it could have enriched the plot line a lot more. Overall Nancy Bush's writing greatly captured Sammy Jo's spitfire personality and polished itself to a shine in her confrontations with Cooper Ryan. I'm excited to read more from this author.
