"Cooper and Faith were fabulous characters!"

This was another one sitting read from Kathie DeNosky. Cooper was one hunk of a cowboy and was just what Faith needed to get right back on track with her life.

Cooper Adams is tired of the rodeo life and after a near death experience with one mean bull, Cooper decides to retire and become a rancher. He gets Whiskers Penn to buy him a ranch and unbeknownst to him, Whiskers also hires him a cook/housekeeper. When Whiskers takes Cooper to his ranch, Cooper nearly drops his teeth. This ranch is so broken down it will take forever to fix it up.

Then a truck pulls up carrying Faith Broderick to the ranch. Before Cooper knows it, the neighbor who drops Faith off and Whiskers have made tracks leaving him and Faith all by themselves. Cooper knows once Faith sees the condition of the ranch, she'll run screaming down the road but Faith has no place else to go. It seems her best friend and her ex-husband decided to fall in love and to have a baby, something she couldn't do.

As Cooper and Faith work together to get Cooper's ranch in some sort of working order, they become attracted to each other but aren't quite sure they are ready to even begin to act on those feelings. It's much too soon for them to fall in love or is it?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I especially liked the fact that the book centered on Cooper and Faith and their relationship from beginning to end. It was so much fun to see the attraction begin and grow to love. I'm hooked on Kathie DeNosky's books and cannot wait to read her next one!

Cooper wasn't planning on heading to the hitchin' post. Yet, with her warmth, lovely Faith filled his home and the lonely corners of his heart. Cooper knew he'd better watch his step—because promoting Faith from employee to wife would be far too easy to do...
