Amelia was living the picture perfect life from the outside, but turned out it really was not perfect at all. While trying to start a new life, one mishap found her in need of a savior. Enter Destry, the sexy, cowboy who is not a big fan of city girls...usually.(Quote) She might be sexy as all get up, but she was a city girl. It was written all over her. And city girls didn't dance with country boys.They look, they lust, they spark, and they deny. Destry is not as friendly as his brothers. He thinks she is a city princess and not cut out for ranching life. She is not sure about the cowboy who acts like a cretin. They weren't looking for anyone, but they found each other... even though their pasts made them gun shy. There was loads of sexual tension, denial and finally some pretty steamy scenes. But there was also drama, misunderstandings, pain, and problems.(Quote) The guy was the epitome of hot and cold...he was giving me whiplash.(Quote) She was like an addiction I didn't need but I wanted all the same.Destry had many personalities that showed during the story. He started out pretty stand-offish and unattainable, but eventually his vulnerability and emotional side started to show. And Amelia was strong and determined. She was done being someone's puppet and was determined to live her new life how she wanted to. They came from two different worlds. Together when they were good, they were good...but they had their issues to deal with and communication was not one of their strong points.There was a whole cast of charming characters (yes, more hot, loveable cowboys). I adored his brothers : the sweet, understanding Braxton and fun and flirty, Austin. Their stories were teased at and it is obvious there is more there lurking under the surface...especially with Braxton. Their sister Ellie-May was vivacious and feisty too. I enjoyed the camraderie, the teasing, and how they welcomed Amelia.This was a fast, sexy, sweet book that I devoured quickly. Who does not love hot cowboys and strong, sassy women? It was told in both points of view and I felt that we really needed that since they did not always communicate effectively. I needed to get into their heads, especially Destry's. Even though their troubled back stories were brought in, the story itself could have used a maybe bit more depth. But the characters were likeable and their chemistry was hot. It was an enjoyable, easy flowing read. It had a surprisingly teasing epilogue that left me ready for more stories with the Braxton, Austin, and Ellie-May.Thanks to Lola Stark for providing me with a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
