Summary

Widowed rancher Cole Forrester is all about running his family's ranch and guarding his heart. The last thing he's looking for is love, but when his little sister can't make it home to handle some of her wedding details, he's forced to entertain the event planner, Melanie Simms.

Melanie is everything he's not even remotely interested in: She's high-society, complicated, and high maintenance. But when he's stranded with her at his remote cabin in the Colorado mountains, he realizes he's seriously underestimated her. She's hiding something about her past from him, but despite everything, he finds himself falling for the last woman he ever expected, and the first woman to make him want to give his heart and risk everything....

No wonder Audible gives this book away for free - no one in their right mind would pay a cent for this drivel.

Worst 4 chapters I have ever heard. In my life.

I tried. I really did. But from the moment I heard the narrator's breathy, drawn out, ridiculous poorly acted voice, I knew I was in for a struggle. Whoever told her she had a voice and reading style suitable for audio lied to her.

I thought I'd mistakenly selected from a book written in the 1960s - I even opened the title details to check! Who writes a female character these days who STAMPS HER FOOT?!! Who has so little personality, gumption, backbone - friggin common sense! - as to be so insipid, and frankly stupid?

This has to be one of those self published books, right? Where an independent editor has never actually read this book before it was launched onto the unsuspecting reading community?

Seriously insulting to every female, everywhere.

I wanted to scream at how pathetic every word, ever action, every thought that character had. No wonder misogyny is on the rise when authors - A FEMALE NO LESS! - creates this character, in a modern setting, and thinks it's reflective of a 21st century woman!

Please. Please. Stop writing.

Worst 4 chapters of my reading life...do NOT bother!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
