"Fantastic, witty chick-lit debut by a talented author."
Jen Brenner is overlooked for a promotion and sick of
pining for her ex-boyfriend. So she takes a major leap,
moving from San Francisco to the wilds of Montana. Despite
concerns about the lack of corner espresso cafés, she's
feeling pretty hopeful. After all, she's hit on twice
by gorgeous men before she even finds a place to stay. Life
is looking up. The problem is, the gorgeous guy she should fall for (he's
perfect for her!) isn't the guy she wants to jump. Nope.
That'd be EPA agent Bruce Mortensen, who comes with way too
much baggage for Jen to cope with. At least, that's what
she keeps telling herself. Even as she's crawling all over
him in the front of his truck. Too much baggage. I loved this book! Ms. Green has a fantastic voice with a
huge sense of humor. I giggled and laughed my way through
this debut novel and can't wait to read more from her. Jen
is a great 30-something character, who's dying to settle
down with the right man. Bruce IS the right man, he just
doesn't look like it. And oh, is this book hot or what?
Make sure your guy's nearby when you read it...

SummaryAfter being passed over for a promotion, and currently
between boyfriends, thirtyish Jen Brenner figures its time
for a major life change. So it's goodbye to San Francisco
and her sexy ex-boyfriend—and howdy to roughing it in the
wilds of Montana.
As a reporter for Montana's Meredith Gazette, Jen is
suddenly getting cruised by park rangers and interviewing
ranchers who think crème brûlée is men's hair gel. Then she
meets a rugged western vision in jeans and snakeskin boots:
EPA agent Bruce Mortensen. So what if he has baggage—a
manipulative soon-to-be-ex-wife and a jealous ten-year-old
daughter? He's a real man who's making her feel like a real
woman for the first time in her life.
But is it really love or just the hottest sex ever? Jen's
on a mission to find out...especially when her ex comes
back into the picture. Now she's caught between two men who
couldn't be more different. And what happens next will
surprise everyone—even her...
