I thought the plot of the story was good.  The heroine comes to Montana from New Zealand to do a teaching job in an American school and to experience living on a ranch so that she could share the experience with her students.  They are 8 year olds.  She also has a secret reason that she has come to Montana.The owner of the ranch is the typical hunky cowboy.  You can't help but love him.  He is immediately attracted to the little Kiwi and wants to keep her for all times.  However, he has been badly hurt by his ex-wife so he is guarding his heart, or so he thinks.  They are both experiencing attraction but she wants to be sure to stay friends since she does plan to return home and he doesn't really want to fall in love even tho he does want a wife.  A trip to Las Vegas ends badly on one hand and not so bad on the other.  I thought this story had potential.  I was looking forward to seeing how they worked things out to get to a HEA.SPOILER---don't go any further if you don't want to hear these thoughts.  One, I found myself disliking the heroine to the point of wanting to shake her teeth loose.  She was so full of herself.  She has the hots for him but yet she acts like it is all onesided and every time he opens his mouth she responds with some negative remark about marrying him.  She seems awfully concerned with helping him find a wife but then not liking any of the choices.  She acts as tho he is going to die if she doesn't agree to his advances.In Vegas she gets drunk and in front of a large gathering announces they are going to get married.  She insist.  The group falls in with the plan and goes full steam ahead to make it happen.  Then afterwards it is all HIS FAULT because he married her.  She keeps telling him she will not stay married to him, will not be sleeping with him, wants a divorce, etc. but yet continues to use him to achieve her own goals.  I keep wondering why he wants her in the first place.  I got so put out with her that I quit reading.  So, I can guess how it ends but I don't think she deserved him.  He should have put her on a plane for New Zealand and said good riddance.  It could have been a very cute story but the self-centered heroine ruined it for me.
