Coming Home to the Cattleman
Jenny has distant, happy memories of her long-lost dad, and has finally gained the confidence to find him. Only one man stands in her the aloof and brooding Jason Welborn—her dad's business partner. And it's clear he's not happy she's come home.…
Jason's convinced this city girl has only come to claim her share in the business, and then hotfoot it back to the Big Apple. But Jenny seems determined to win him over, and the more he tries to push her away, the more feisty Jenny's response becomes. Slowly but surely she's starting to get under Jason's skin.…

About the author
Judy Christenberry
248 books71 followersJudy Russell Christenberry was born in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she raised in a family of four children with a stay-at-home mom who was a terrific cook and an excellent teacher, where family tradition was concerned. As a child, Judy was surrounded by animals. Her father raised a few head of cattle to keep meat on the table. At one time or another, there were sheep, Thanksgiving turkeys, ducks and dogs, and there were always chickens.
Judy learned the importance of family at an early age. But, Judith's marriage ended in divorce. Yet, with support from her mother and siblings, she and her two daughters discovered their own definition of family. The family comes in all shapes and flavors. What's important isn't the two parents and the 2.5 children, it's love and support. She raised her children, taught during the day, wrote at night, and pursued her dream.
Judy, hasn't always been a writer, but she's always been a dreamer. As a child, for entertainment while doing chores, she told herself stories-she was always the heroine. However, she didn't start writing until she turned thirty-eight, just one year after her father's unexpected death. After this, she realized life promised no guarantees about how much time you have. Why wait to pursue your dreams? She had begun reading Harlequin Romance novels about ten years earlier, so romance writing came naturally. She signs her novels as Judy Christenberry, Judith Christenberry and Judith Stafford.
Over time, Judy realized two central themes dominating her writing: family and small town/country life. Many of her books have cowboy heroes, partly because she read all Zane Grey's romantic versions of the Old West as a teenager, and partly because her parents grew up on farms. The last element that frequently appears in Judy's stories is a dash of humor, just enough to bring a smile to your face. She believes laughter is good medicine and it definitely makes a six-foot hunk even more attractive!
Now, with her daughters pursuing their own dreams, Judy writes full-time and is wrapped up in her storytelling. She lives each new adventure with the vigor of a young girl, still dreaming up tales while washing dishes. She hopes to entertain her readers as much as she entertains herself!

I adore this author! Her characters are always so "real".. I feel like I'm being wrapped by a warm cozy blanket on a cold day when I get myself into one of her stories! :)
In this book Jenny comes back to the ranch she was taken away from when she was 8 years old.. Her mother was bored with the ranch life and whisked her away to a high socienty (and lonely life) in New York City.. She was taken away from not only her love of the land, but her father as well.. Both were devastated and 18 years later she comes home to the ranch to find that her father has taken on a younger, handsome, smart-mouthed partner who she slowly becomes attracted to.
Jenny and Jason were an awesome couple and we were also lucky enough to read another beautiful love story between Jenny's dad and his housekeeper of 26 years. :)

In Christenberry’s romance novel, Jenny has memories of her father but now is determined to find him. But Jason Welborn, her father’s business partner, stands in her way. Jason is convinced that Jenny just wants what she can get her hands on before heading back to the city. Determined to win him over, Jenny stands her ground until she finally starts making headway with him. But can he trust that she’ll stay or will she be here today and gone tomorrow?
A solid contribution to the Cowboy at Heart series.

I gave this book a 3 because I hate being "harsh" This book was written in 2008 and yet it reads like it was written in 1958. Sweet but very cheesy and hard to believe the naivete.
