Chase Cooper has always had a thing for Julia Blair.  Chase was the jock all star but Julia was the quiet studious type.  Chase had been best friends with Julia's twin sister.  I don't know if they are not identical because Julia's twin sister happens to be a supermodel now but Julia describes herself as nothing special.  Chase never pursued Julia because he was best friends with her sister.  He and two friends, Mac and Jag, own a dude ranch but Chase is also a sports medicine doctor in another city.  The guys decide to invite "the one who got away" to the ranch to see what happens.  Except Chase invites Julia's sister, and not Julia - WHAT!?!?  But Julia receives the invitation by mistake and goes to the ranch.  Though Julia is now a successful lawyer now, she feels something is lacking in her life.  She decides to go to the dude ranch and sees Chase, who she has always had a crush on.For a short story, the plot points got in the way of the actual story.  I didn't understand why Chase didn't invite Julia to the ranch since she was the one he always pined after.  I also would have wanted her to enjoy who she was.  Instead, I felt like she didn't have any direction / inspiration until she saw Chase.  I couldn't connect with the characters and everything seemed to fall into place just you would think it would.  The sexy scenes were good.  I would have liked a more straightforward story and more connection between the characters.  The ending mystery of why Chase has a dude ranch is rather sweet which made me like the story a little more.
