3 Stars
I've broken wild horses that were easier to tame
than Brooklyn Dyer.
The moment she conquered my mechanical bull in those tight jeans and that
ridiculous tourist cowboy hat, I knew she was trouble.
The kind of trouble you spend all night
praying never ends and a decade trying to forget.
But Monday morning brings a punch to the gut I never
saw coming—she's sitting across from me at our family brewery's board meeting.
Not just as some new hire, but as our social media director with plans to make
me the damn poster boy for Slade Brewing.
I've spent 37 years mastering this ranch and my
emotions—I don't need some city girl with marketing schemes and dangerous
curves dismantling both.
Yet here I am, shirtless on my horse while she snaps
photos, thinking about how badly I want to bend her over my saddle.
I told myself not to give in, but those full hips and that attitude of hers
make me want to misbehave.
She's a defiant little thing that needs to learn a lesson about teasing a man
like me.
She’s one of those girls alright—Mysterious, driven, all kinds of sexy.
Just when I let my guard down, her ex appears with a
ring, I discover she's carrying my child, and a bullet meant for someone else
nearly ends it all.
They say a cowboy's greatest strength is knowing
when to hold on tight and when to let go. But with Brooklyn, I'm beginning to
think some feelings are worth fighting for—even if it might destroy us both.
This is a generous 3 stars because it was an
interesting take on age gap. I skimmed some as there is a huge pacing issue.
They were all in within the first half of the book and Brooklyn does end up
pregnant almost immediately after they hook up. I also was not a huge fan of
Brooklyn. She was too … brass is the best word I can come up with. She was
almost bratty in her attitude but not in a good way. She goes in planning on
manipulating Tyler to get what she wants, and it rubs me the wrong way. The
rest of the book is about other dramas in the community. I did like the writing
style so I will probably pick up something else and see if they are better.
