This story started out a little rough for me. What rancher has time to run two ranches, keep a yard and greenhouse in immaculate condition, be a part of the church choir AND have time to court a woman? It all seemed a little unbelievable. Also, I thought he was condescending and demanding to Rose for a big chunk of the book. The last half was much better. Bane showed a softer side and you could see why Rose would fall for him. Overall this was a charming little story.

After her father's will was read she realized she had to stay on the ranch for 1 year to receive her inheritance. She also has to learn how to run the ranch from Bane Jacobs. An enjoyable romance
