In the future I think I’ll just stay away from this trope. Kudos to Margot, the heroine for being amazing and standing her ground even if it hurt. I’m not heartless and I’m not talking about forgetting your poor dead wife, it’s just I can’t deal with heroes being in love with someone else (while sleeping with the heroine) the entire book, I just can’t. This hero was so not ready to move on and basically had to ask the dead wife permission to move on, which is also one of the things I hate the most in books. Second best is one of my biggest peeves and this one was so clear. I’m just not a fan of the hero that is still hung up on someone else, dead or alive and this hero was soooo hung up on his dead ex wife I had an extremely hard time believing he was in love with the heroine. I also loved the secondary characters, the city girl/country boy trope and the whole farm setting.īut…but…but, this is me and not the book. This is a great book, well written, super angsty, funny at times with an amazing heroine that stole my heart, hence the 4 stars. He doesn’t think he deserves a second chance at happiness. Losing his wife left him broken and bitter and blaming himself. I’ve never done anything so out of character-but it feels too good to stop.Īnd the more I learn about the grieving ex-Army sergeant, the better I understand him.

Pretty soon there’s a whole different kind of tension between us, the kind that has me misbehaving in barns, trees, and pickup trucks. He wants nothing to do with a “rich city girl” like me, and he isn’t afraid to say so.īut I’ve got a PR job to do for his family’s farm, so he’s stuck with me and I’m stuck with him. Jack might be gorgeous, but he’s also scruffy, rugged, and rude.

Sexy, brooding cowboys are fine in the movies, but in real life, I prefer a suit and tie.
