"Wonderful contemporary romance"
Patience Sinclair looks forward to her time away from the
Boston area partly due to the stalking of her by Tyler
Stanfield, but mostly because of the opportunity to
complete her thesis research on Women in Western History
by being part of a rodeo. In Texas, Patience gets off on
the wrong foot with rodeo superstar Dallas Kingman who
writes her off as a pretty "buckle bunny". However, as Patience and Dallas become better acquainted
an attraction blossoms, but both know that nothing can
come of it because he is western cowboy and she is
sophisticated Bostonian. Still with Tyler closing in on
her, Dallas needs to keep the woman he loves safe though
the eastern tenderfoot keeps surprising him with her
courage, her knowledge of the west and even her riding
skills, but most of all how she makes him feel. Now to
persuade the wannabe professor they can make a life
together even if she is New England and he is southwest. Though the Tyler subplot is a nuisance to a wonderful
contemporary romance with a pinch of late suspense, fans
will enjoy this gender battle between Massachusetts and
Texas (sounds like the presidential race) because the lead
pair is a delightful charming duo whether they love or
squabble. The story line is at its top when the rodeo
setting is in the forefront, which is much of the tale.
Kat Martin furbishes a wonderful tale that adds luster to
her career as did the previous Sinclair sister's story in
