Laura's review of She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
by Cara North
This is the second novel in the “Country Music” series. This one is about big brother, Heath, whose bride, Chance, ran away to cooking school the night of their wedding. A year later he decides to divorce her. That day he receives a call to come down to the jail and pick her up. Uh-oh. Chance is back in town. *grin*
Chance has lots of secrets, and it was fun to see Uber-Alpha Heath loosen up a little with her when she decides to give their marriage another shot. I actually enjoyed this one more than the first novel in the series.
However the end left me kinda meh. It’s an HEA, and that’s good. But I think North was aiming for some kind of big emotional healing/growth revelation. I didn’t feel it. North has a habit of making big jumps in the timeline/plot. Maybe the power of the ending for me got lost in one of those black holes. Who knows?
At any rate, this is a very enjoyable series, and I love the characters. Can’t wait for Bo...more

Yeah, those holes take away something from the book overall. But it was still a fun book. I'm glad that I got to read both and I will definitely read the 3rd one whenever it finally comes out!
Isis, I agree. It was a fun book. If she ever goes with a big NYC print publisher and gets a good editor, the black holes will disappear. Those editors are famous for saying, "Flesh this scene out more! You're expecting your readers to know more than they do!!" Seriously. I hear authors complain about it all the time. LOL
Teryl, you're right. Chance is a guy's name. How did I miss that? But in this instance it fits the heroine perfectly, so I never even thought about it. Plus this "world" takes place out West, and guy names for women are more common out there, I think, so that's probably why it slipped past me. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though. I can't believe I missed that. Ha!
