My Review:This was a wonderful contemporary western romance. It's about a family that I can already see is going to be fun to get to know over the course of this series. Chantilly is one of five McDougal sisters. She is the one who has chosen to stay home and work side by side with her father running the family ranch. That is why she feels so betrayed when he hires a new foreman, Jack Grady...seemingly to replace her. Chantilly is wrong. Jack isn't there to replace her. He is helping out her father who is in a very difficult position.Chantilly resents Jack being there, but that doesn't change his affect on her. She is so drawn to this sexy cowboy. So when she heads to her sister's bar to drown a few sorrows, she instead ends up lowering her inhibitions and lets Jack know that she's attracted to him. From there, this love story seriously spices up. There is love and romance all over this ranch...from the bed of a truck, to the barn, to the creek bed...it's all good! ;o)The things that I really liked about this book....*both Chantilly and Jack are wonderful characters. I really liked them esp. when they were working together.*I liked that Chantilly has a REALLY low alcohol tolerance and that her sisters totally take advantage of that...too funny!*the five sisters...a wonderful dynamic that adds a powerful punch to this family-based story*LOVE that Jack raised his nephew and the added little bits that we see of Craig as he is at the ranch over the summer*of course, as a Texas gal, I love me some gorgeous cowboys...and Jack definitely fit the bill*Yum, did you see that cover up there??!?This was a great entertaining read. Family is the basis of it and the five sisters are all totally different so it will be interesting to see how the series develops throughout the series.LOVE me some cowboy loving!
