Synopsis
Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson.
My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.
I haven’t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He’s rude, he’s growly, and he wants me gone. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch.
We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too.
But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine…
CASH is the first standalone book in the brand new steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.
Review
Anyway. I'm now in love with the fact I can listen to a book and get paid for it! WHO KNEW!
Cash Rivers has been working the Ranch for years, so when Mollies Dad, Garrett passes away and leaves it to his Daughter, Cash is pisssssed! And who wouldn't be when you've been told it's going to be yours and then...*poof* Nope.
Mollie hasn't set foot on the ranch in... well years. Living in the city, designing fashionable cowboy boots. The Ranch is not what she wanted. She wanted the money to invest in her business and that's what she's still intending to do, even if she has to live on the ranch for a year, with a monthly allowance so to speak for doing so.
From the very beginning Cash & Mollie are at war I guess. She wants out, he wants her gone but he also doesn't want to lose the Ranch and she wants it gone.... What could go wrong?! Oh yeah.... Love.
I loved the whole story. Didn't skip anything although I got a few "What's wrong?" looks when a certain word was said which I hate with a passion. My face must clearly have reflected that.... although I really hope that my face wasn't as animated when Cash was described walking into a bar in a white t-shirt and a backwards cap because lord have mercy on my soul! They'd have seen an expression that none of them would have seen before!
I loved everything else about the book... oh except her mother... She doesn't sit right with me and I don't know if its because I was working and listening so I didn't catch a few bits but what was the relevance of the photos and her Mom? She clearly had nothing nice to say about him!
Anyway I will be continuing the series... slightly annoyed that the gift cards from Christmas wont be able to fund any other audio books though - thanks AMAZON!
Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she’s not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the south’s best restaurants with her husband Ben, reading books with her adorable daughters Gracie and Madeline, or snuggling up with her 70-pound lap dog, Martha.
A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC.
