Jackie Marilla's debut is an emotional read with wonderful characterization. When Dani's sisters all get married/engaged before her, she begins to feel left behind but vows she will not marry a cowboy. She was raised on a ranch and moves to the city to find the right guy only to find herself betrayed and confronted with a racy sexual situation she hadn't foreseen. Her best friend, Joe, comforts her and is endearing in his attempts to show Dani that he might be the guy she's been looking for all along - despite the fact he's a cowboy. Well written prose and feel good ending. I love the fact that the author set this story in Hawaii, a different setting for a ranch. Her details of the locale are refreshing and I look forward to reading more of Jackie Marilla's stories.
