Even though they have known each other for many years, Cole and Melanie are really strangers.  She is his sister's best friend... he is the widowed older brother who is too preoccupied in running the ranch and licking his broken heart.Melanie is so sweet.  She has had a crush on Cole all these years.  He is so removed and hardly ever even talks.  Now that Mel is planning Cole's sister's wedding, there is no avoiding meeting each other while the preparations are in earnest.I loved the scene in the cabin when they first get stranded.  Finally, a little (actually a lot!) of whiskey goes a long way to loosening these two characters up.  Things get hot and heavy... well you need to find out this evolves and it is not the way you are thinking.I empathize with Melanie as she is seeking to succeed at life on her own.  Her family leave much to be desired.  She needs to stand on her own two feet to prove to herself and the world, she is a strong person and a survivor.I adored Mrs. H and her matchmaking efforts.  Give that woman a prize for knowing how to interfere and remove herself.  I am looking forward to this series of books.  Thank you Victoria James for a wonderful first book in this series.
