Get Your Hands On The Ranchers Rules (Sunshine Springs Duo, #1) Illustrated By Lucy Monroe Provided As Textbook

was an okay story with a couple, Grant and Zoe who had plenty of chemistry, a friendship with a lot of sexual tension and some interesting banter.
They start out with a solid friendship, but their desire for one another keeps getting in the way, . . and even when they're going about trying to resolve their tension other people get in the way, I don't really like this kind of book where the heroine is trying to seduce the Hero who is totally resistant because he keeps telling himself he should think of her as a sister or she's better off not getting involved with him.
I always think that those heroes are TSTL, And Grant was so wishywashy, One minute it's fine, the next he has doubts, He needs a good smack, And what's with the town that expects people to remain virginal, . . I understand not having sex on the sidewalk of a town where you live and teach elementary schoolers, But why can't you date I didn't know people had to be so concerned about their reputation in the modern world,.stars

pretty enjoyable read, the H was not a brooding alpa male, He was nice and possessive towards h, Both were pretty stupid for people that have known each other for more than a decade, No epilogue with babies but at least there was a wedding, i love the story. what i like about it is that throughout the story, the only problem they had was basically brought by misunderstanding, there wasn't any significant thing that happened, everything was just misunderstanding and it's very tiring reading about those, but i still love them both, they're fun and lovable. Lucy Monroe is waaaaayyyyyy better than this,

The h and the H have been in love with each other for a long time, but apparently are TOO FREAKING and oh do I want to use another word there STUPID to figure it out.


I'm not even going to bother with the plot as it is so boring it doesn't make sense, Frankly, I don't know, I was skimming so lost plot points anyway,

Bottom line when I finally lost it is when the H invites ANOTHER woman over because he thinks if he has sex with her he won't obsess about the heroine so much.
In his favor, he realizes this not a good idea when the woman comes over, The h is jealous and tries to wreak a little havoc, Do I feel sorry for the H for being so clueless No, Do I feel for the heroine because she's feeling threatened, the tiny idjit No, I feel sorry for the chick that was invited over and treated like dirt, Twice. It doesn't help that I read the sequel that gives her story as she's a nice girl but judged because she's voluptuous,

You guys, H and h, SUCK! The hero sure as hell took his sweet time to come to his senses!
A good romance with lovable characters.

Both hero and heroine was ok, There was past hurt and all but everything was polished at the end,

Recommended.

P. s I

didnt like some of the heros actions regarding Ow but he didnt sleep with her or even kiss her, . soooo as usual I Swallowed,

P. p. s She is one of my fav writer and I have read better and amazing books of her, A whole lotta angst would have been saved if thesehad talkedyears ago,

They were both bonkers about each other but as he was a bit older and more experienced he rushed his fences so to speak and panicked the virgin h.


She soon came to her senses when she thought about it but when she decided to go for the h he decided to flirt with others and leave her the hell alone because he has scared her a bit.


I liked their friendship though it was awesome how it lasted through the years and they were both determined that it would last,

Fast forwardyears and they are still dancing round each other and showing signs of jealousy when they see each other with dates, h is innocent of all charges but H is a bit of a tart,

h has quite terrible parents tbh although not the worse by far in HPlandia, All in all not a bad start to the new year it remains to be seen how long the H will last as a meat muncher on his ranch I'm sure the h will be keep to share her vegetarianism with her future kids! While I applaud her rather Clarice Starling beliefs growing up on a ranch I'm too partial to bacon to ever give it up and will support animals in my own way purchasing ethically sourced local critters who have had lovely lives.
and such a disappointment, Having read her mercenary trilogy I was at least expecting a good story but it was just a round and round turn of overblown silly misunderstandings.
This is also another book billed as a Christmas themed story but Christmas is mentioned only once and thats it, No warm holiday cheer here so if thats what youre looking for then pass on this one,

Several times I was wondering if I was reading a historical what with all the moral preachiness about sex before marriage, town gossipists going on about two people living together to the point where the heroine's boss tells her that she should stop seeing the hero for the good of the school she works at what the.
You expect that in a historical but not in a contemporary unless its one of those “inspirational” books, The heroine is not the most believable of characters either, She lives in an apartment with nearly every possible pet known to man from a huge dog, some cats, parrots, hamsters to a goat! In an apartment!! Dumb.
Then you have the hero whos trying to be “noble” to protect her from himself Dumb again,

The writing itself reads like a quickie first draft with too much stilted language, Suddenly there are no contractions in the dialog so it sounds very formal and out of character, The Spanish terms of endearment rang false also,

The ending had a rushed “awwwshucks” gooeyness to it, There were the beginnings of some good Monroe steamyscenes like her other books but they just never really made it, The steam itself doesnt even happen until youre practically at the end of the book, One irritating tease after another with an unexpected friend walking in, the phone ringing, she changes her mind, he changes his mind and all the other predictable things.
The story had potential but needed some major tweaking,

I think Ill be sticking with her hotter and better written Brava contemporaries instead of her wishy washy seenitallahundredtimes Harlequins,

My first harlequin romance and it wasn't too bad! It had a good mix of storyline between the steamy bits! It's very very good for its own category, for a harlequin book.
. . I read this book years ago and found it again today, I forgot what a sweet story it was, Today's HP romances have lost a bit of the innocence and sweetness that made them so special, This one is a classic that made me smile throughout he story,

I so enjoyed this book, I laughed, I cried and found it to be the perfect Holiday read, Zoe Jensens character was fun, invigorating, dear, just plain sweet and not the usual woman in a Harlequin Presents novel, Her love for life, animals and her Kindergarten students was endearing and her secret crush on her best friend Grant Cortez will squeeze your heart,
