Whoever heard of a white knight showing up in a pair of old, scuffed cowboy boots?
She may be smart as a whip, but Meg West's co-op is in a heap of financial trouble. When sexy and rugged cattle rancher, Dutch Hargrave, makes her a job offer, the vegetarian California girl can't afford to refuse. And quite frankly, she hasn't got the strength to turn down a man with a slow, Texan drawl that makes her toes curl.
Enlisting the help of the feisty bombshell is the answer to Dutch's prayers--and his fantasies. Meg has the professional know-how to help lead his ranch into the 21st Century.
Before long, Meg and Dutch are as busy as a stump-tailed bull in fly season, working around the clock trying to preserve Dutch's heritage. But while the grueling work brings them closer together, the heat on the ranch starts to rise. Will Dutch find a way to win over Meg West while saving his family's farm?
*I received this in exchange for a honest review*
I loved this story. It was full of cowboys (obviously my favorite) and a girl who is the complete opposite to said cowboy. But that always make the story more interesting, doesn't it? I love reading stories where the MC's are different, it adds a more realistic touch, because who is the same?
Meg is not country. She's a true California girl who doesn't eat meat and is at one of the earth. She's set in her ways and doesn't let anyone tell her otherwise. I liked that, because no matter what society really says, she owns her self and personality. She has no qualms about who she is and what she wants to change about the world.
Dutch (what a cool name) is a man through and through. He works on his farm, eats meat, and doesn't really care about hippie stuff. But he realizes he needs to go green, so he asks Meg a favor. She needs to help his farm become better, and along the way, maybe they'll get closer.
I loved these characters. They fit well despite their differences. Meg enlightened Dutch and in turn, something sparked between them. It was fun to read about them slowly getting close. It wasn't sudden, which I liked. It took time and trust, just like a real relationship does.
The setting was beautiful. I could really imagine the world Mercer created, the rolling hills and the farm. It felt real and I appreciated that. Her writing is good, I only really spotted a few errors throughout the whole story.
If you love cowboys, hippie Californian girls, and romance, then this is for you!
