Reviews

[StMargarets · Rating 3 out of 5]

Charmless rancher hero convinces Hollywood actress ( on the run from a stalker) to marry him temporarily so he can get full custody of his three-year-old daughter. His Hollywood actress ex wants full custody for a publicity stunt.

He is prejudiced against the heroine because she's beautiful and an actress. But he's attracted. She's never known a decent man, so hero looks like a catch. It's a Susan Fox scenario, but it doesn't hit hard at all. The angst is told and not shown. The stalker plot was flimsy. (Although how he was dispatched by the raging bull was innovative).

For those who have read all of the Susan Fox's stories and need a quick fix.

I think I am going through a case of reading duds. This one featured a judgy, horrid hero who did not in any way or form deserve the heroine. Our heroine is a former rodeo queen/current Hollywood hearthrob running away from a stalker and still missing the daughter she gave away for adoption when she visits her friend (H's sis) at his ranch. Our hero is rude to her at every turn, first thinking she intends to harm his daughter, then thinking she is like his actress ex. I didn't see what the heroine saw in him; she was clearly one insecure nincoomp and I suspect she stuck around for hero's adorable daughter.

A well written quick romance suspense. Angel has quietly left LA to take a break and distance herself from what may be a stalker. She ended up at the ranching home of a high school friend Dulcie Kincaid, who was visiting to help out her brother Day with the house and his young daughter. Day is a divorced single parent who is not on good terms with his ex who is is also an good actress (but a crappy mom) who apparently likes the high life and is trying to get custody off their daughter.
This a Western Lovers book in the Ranching Dad Series.

. . . I mean . . . It is what it is lol.

Having moved away from books like this and with more and more of the world moving so hard towards being politically correct . . .it was quite jarring to see how rude and antognostic he was towards her and how she was still just oh I love you.

That's called abuse. Don't fall for it.

Toss up between 3 and 3.5

Not the most engrossing story and the "plot" is one I've read before.

This is a great book. Someone stole it from me though.
