Raul Vega, thirty year old single rancher, is sought after for his Spanish looks and wealth. He can have any lady of his choice but knows they aren't looking at the man he is. Attending a neighbors party he sees Elaina Ruiz, on vacation at her Aunt's between semesters at her first year nursing college program. He realizes she's too young but 'stakes his claim' that she will be his after she has lived life a little bit. Plans change when he finds out other men are trying to poach Elaina from him. A big secret she's hiding from him will change everything though.Loved the book and author's writing style. The lead characters played off each other with sexual tension, snarky dialogue, and a possessive alpha male personality pitted against intelligent but naive younger girl manner. The problem I had was this read was just too short. There was insufficient time to develop and layer the important and/or pivotal scenes with any real depth. Subsequently it had a rushed and superficial feel that disappointed me. And it's certainly not an erotic romance type of read. Steamy scenes were good but I never got the feeling that these two had a real physical lust for each other.  Sure the price of this book (I purchased it for 99 cents) make me seem nit picky but if the purpose or intent of this book was to steer me towards more books written by this author it failed. It did not showcase this author's writing skills enough to further investigate her other works.
