Publisher Description
In my tiny hometown of Gillibrook, I'd tried to find the yee to my haw, but instead, I'd kept finding the hell to my naw.
As a triple-crowned county-fair pageant queen, I had grown used to the winner's circle. But after one too many romps in the hay with local cowboys, I'd only knocked boots with a bunch of losers.
I'd met every Tom, Dick, and hillbilly this side of the mountain, and they'd all turned out to be no-good sons of biscuit-eaters.
I didn't want to settle for a consolation prize. I played to win the blue ribbon.
So, I'd traded my boots for suits and packed my bags for a taste of city life.
But after that dirty rascal Tommy Pickins broke my heart, I'd learned the pastures weren't always greener on the other side of the fence, so I hightailed it back home to my roots on a trail of shame.
I tried to lay low at Buck Off Ranch, but small-town gossip traveled faster than a twister through a trailer park.
Once my high school sweetheart, West Miller, caught news of my arrival, he sauntered right back into my life with a score to settle. But his challenge was just another contest I could easily win. One flutter of my lashes, and I would charm him right out of his chaps.
I wasn't the same innocent country girl who had left this place, and bad-boy West was about to learn a very hard lesson.
After all, this ain't my first rodeo.
Customer Reviews
A Quick and Flirty Read with fun small town antics!
A quick and flirty read with fun small town antics and some crazy but aptly named barn animals, this book had me laughing out loud at several parts and made me so glad to be back in Gillibrook!
I liked that Emma Jean was kind of a male version of West and there was no shame in her game, and West? He was actually a lot sweeter and soft hearted than I expected, even though he was still definitely a cocky cowboy. Emma is back home after being gone for years and West is trying to keep her from leaving town again by showing her they are meant to be. I would’ve loved to see their relationship develop a lot more though as I feel like it ended just a little too soon. We don’t get to see much of them falling back in love and for me it was more of a HFN kind of ending, even with the epilogue. I’m sure we will see more of their HEA in the next book (about another brother) but I just needed this book to be a little longer!
Second chance, small town, enemies to lovers with a lot of laughs and a little bit of emotions and steam make for an enjoyable addition to the series!
Beauty Queen and the Cowboy
So I was a bit torn on this book. While I loved and adored the characters, the humor and the story itself, the ending left me a little unfulfilled. Part of me feels like it works well for Emma as a character due to her independence but the reader part of me would’ve like just a little more to West and Emma’s story. I’m sure we’ll see more of them in the next book like we saw for Josie and Tripp in this one, so I look forward to that.
Overall, it really was a fantastic book and Emma was a total BA heroine, which I love!!! For sure this series has been extremely fun to read so far.
