All innocent Caitlin Delany wanted was to spread her wings away from home and begin life fresh. But from the moment she laid eyes on sexy, swaggering rancher Zach Haller, she lost her heart. She knew she had no business falling for a man who'd sworn off commitment, yet he was the man she wanted to change her status as the last virgin in Texas.
Zach's cowboy code of honor put young, inexperienced women strictly off-limits. But Caitlin's provocative innocence brought the confirmed bachelor to his knees. In fact. resisting her virginal charms - and the temptation to wed her and bed her - was proving impossible...
Bestselling, award winning author Barbara McMahon has written more than 80 novels which have sold more than 16 million copies world wide in more than fifty countries in twenty-eight languages.
Known for her heartwarming, emotional stories, she excels in capturing those feelings when first falling in love. She has won or been nominated for every major award in the romance genre from a double nomination in the RITA to winning the Bookseller's Best, National Readers Choice Award and the prestigious HOLT Medallion, among others.
Barbara lives in West Michigan with her husband and two fur babies. Her favorite passtimes are genealogy research and taking her dogs on walks in the wood behind their home.
This was just a so-so book, the heroine was raised by older parents, protected all her life, finally she is ready to let loose and goes home and loses her virginity with the town's bad boy and then tells him to leave.
The hero's reputation is kind of exaggerated, everyone in his life has stabbed him in the back, his father who didn't leave him the ranch, his fiancee who shacked up with his brother.
I didn't care for the romance that much, she doesn't want a repeat, he does, so they kind of hang out.
