First impressions are important.
And my initial impression of A Tough Man's Woman was not favorable. To be honest, I don't care for romance story lines involving heroines who are the former lovers of someone in the hero's immediate family. So the basic premise of this story, a young widow falling in love with her late husband's son, is generally not my cup of tea. Upon reaching his father's ranch, Drew is greeted by a girl with a rifle who informs him that his father is dead and that A.J.'s will states that the land belongs to her infant son, A.J. Junior. Drew informs her that he is A.J. Junior and therefore the land is his.
