I received this book  ARC from the author.When Sandy offered me a copy of this book I ran all around the house clapping and SQUEEE'ing everywhere.  Her books are always hot and emotional.  I read Joel's book and fell in love with grumpy, heart broken, older brother Jeff.  I was excited when I found out his book was next.  When Sandy told me who his HEA was I was giddy.So the back story on poor Jeff is he fell in love with a tramp of a woman who hit on alllll his brothers before getting him all wrapped.  Well, Jeff fell in love with her, married her and then found her 2 nights later with another man.  Yup ladies she left her hottie cowboy husband on her wedding night to go celebrate "marrying the gold mine" in Jeff.  Well they managed to have sex to produce a sweet little mini-Jeff named Ben.  Ben is Jeff's whole world and it shows.  He has custody and is only concerned with the ranch and Ben.  Everything else isn't important ESPECIALLY a good for nothing, lying, whoring woman!!  Uhm.....incase you didn't, notice Jeff is very bitter and broken over he ex-wife.The book starts with Jeff stumbling across Terri and George surveying the land her employer has purchased.  He politely cusses them off his land but he can't stop thinking about Terri alll night  Can I saw he has some very hawt dreams of Terri!!!!.  As you can imagine, he is not thrilled to find himself thinking longingly of the enemy!!  Terri is also not sure why but she keeps thinking back to the jerk at the ranch.  Well, she decides to get information for her employer, she will stay at the ranch Jeff's family runs.......clapping at what happens......Well as much as Terri tries, she can't avoid Jeff.  The 2 begin to spend a little bit of time together.  Her to "get information" and him to "keep an eye on her". Well a little horse ride turns into "sexy time" in the natural spring....giggles....I loved that every time Terri and Jeff have "sexy time" one of his brothers always finds them.....snickers.....Well when there are 9 kids in the Young family it isn't like you can get a lot of alone time.Well the plot is full of ex-wife drama, Terri unsure of her employers true intentions, Jeff pushing her away and pulling her close.  The ending chapters of the story were awesome.  A lot of story resolution and Terri/Jeff coming to terms with their feelings for each other.  I love that Nina (Jeff's mom) is there to kick the boys butts in gear and help them SEE what is right in front of them.  The epilogue was great.  I loved how each of the characters needs and desires are addressed.
