The first book in a new series, Ulterior Motives is set on a rural settler's planet much like a scene from a western.  Kat owns a ranch that she works hard to maintain, but knows that she needs a husband to aid her in order for her business to continue its success.  When she puts out an ad to fill her need for a husband, Jasper answers, fully intending it to be an undercover mission to gather intel about Kat's ranch.  What he finds instead is a beautiful woman that he cannot resist or live without.  But when the very piece of land Kat's fighting to keep working starts hurting people around them, Kat and Jasper must decide who and what means the most to them.This short story about Kat and Jasper reads like a full length novel.  The setting is brilliantly familiar yet unique, which adds to the story.  But it's Kat and Jasper that keeps you glued to the pages.  Their chemistry absolutely sizzles!  Their first encounter is HOT.  The sexual tension is intense, and when they finally get together, it's amazing.  As the story goes on, however, their relationship evolves from lust to something much deeper when they're put in a situation that leaves them questioning their true feelings for one another.I very much enjoyed this offering and cannot wait to read what's in store for the next book in the series.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by Marie
