Cowboys of the Flint Hills Book 3
What’s a guy to do when the girl of his dreams makes a pass at him?
Saying no to Hope Hansen was the hardest thing Ben Sinclaire has ever done. Despite the fact that he’s loved her since grade school, between their age difference and a family feud, a romance between them was forbidden. But now she’s back and the girl he loved has become all woman. He’s finally ready to make his move, but he’ll have to get around her brothers and a field of admirers to do it.
What’s a girl to do when faced with the worst mistake from her past?
Eight years ago, Hope took a chance on Ben and got shot down. Heart broken and mortified, she left town. A fiasco at veterinary school foils her plan to avoid him forever by forcing her to come home to Prairie. When her brothers meddle in her love life by placing a Cowboy Wanted ad for her in the back of Rancher’s Monthly, Ben becomes her unlikely ally. As all her feelings come crashing back, Hope isn’t sure if she can trust him… or herself.
Cowboy Wanted: True Love Awaits Ben comes up with a daring plan to win Hope, but when ice storms, weddings, and babies interfere, will it backfire? Or will Hope realize that true love has been waiting right under her nose the whole time?
My Review:
I kind of don’t even know what to say about this book. I loved Ben. Loved him to bits and pieces. He’s sweet, kind, gentle. He’s the peacemaker of his family. His entire childhood, he watched secrets and lies tear his parents’ marriage apart. Hope was the girl of his dreams he could never have so long as their families were feuding. The feud is finally over and Hope’s coming home. But she’s coming home with a secret she’s desperately praying no one ever discovers. This right here is where I started to get irritated with this story. Because adults in an intimate relationship should be able to talk to one another. I no longer have a lot of sympathy for people who create their own drama because they couldn’t “face the music” and tell the truth. I also didn’t much like that just about everyone shamed Ben for feeling disappointed that Hope chose not to tell him why she was home from school. I was glad to see that they were able to work it all out, because I think they make an adorable couple. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
