Mesa
Arraguso writes about hot cowboys for a living. Being a romance
writer has it perks and its drawbacks. She spends a lot of time alone
in front of her computer, but she gets to fantasize about incredibly
hot men wearing cowboy boots and Stetsons. While visiting San
Antonio, Texas for a writer’s conference, she finds herself
stranded on the back roads of Bandera only to be rescued by one of
the most gorgeous men she’s ever encountered, be it fantasy or for
real.
Joel
Young is a cowboy. From the top of his Stetson to the tip of his
dirty cowboy boots, he’s cowboy through and through. Along with
rescuing women when they do silly things like running out of gas
miles from town on a dirt road, he spends his days herding cattle,
fixing fences and breaking horses.
Can
one handsome cowboy and a city-girl from LA find common ground is the
Hill Country long enough to see beyond a quick fling?
Her
reflex was to pull her hand back, but Joel grabbed it in his before
she could. “You’re a beautiful woman. Other than guests, which
are normally families with young kids, we don’t get a lot like you
around here. Prepare to be overwhelmed.”
He
kissed her fingers before he let his grip slacken on her hand so she
could pull it free. The zing that raced up her arm bothered her.
Those things only happened in her novels, not in real life. “Um,
okay.”
As
they rounded the doorway, the volume of noise increased tenfold.
Several people either sat at the picnic tables chatting away or they
were lined up at the serving area with plates in hand. One long table
she hadn’t noticed before took up an entire wall. When she did a
double take she noticed nine people, eight men and Joel’s mother,
who sat there chatting while they waited for the others to be served.
Holy
shit! How many freakin’ brothers does he have again?
“Eight.
There are nine of us boys.”
“Stop
reading my mind.”
“Sorry.
I can tell by the look in your eyes what is running through your
head. You have very expressive brown eyes.” Joel tugged her hand
and brought her to the spot where there were two empty seats. “Hey,
ya’ll. This is Mesa.” A chorus of hellos echoed through the room,
shushing the rest of the conversations going on around them. Joel
quickly introduced the brothers around the table and that’s when
she noticed two more who looked like…ohmigod. There
are three of him?
Yes, you could tell they all were brothers by the similar features,
but…
“We’re
triplets,” he whispered next to her ear with a chuckle.
Ah,
hell! One gorgeous hunk to tantalize my senses is enough, but nine of
them? And two who look just like him? I’m so screwed!
There are 9 brothers, so I will assume just based upon what is happening with books these days is that each of the brothers will get their own story. With being 9 brothers, there was a lot of information that was thrown into this story that took away from it in my opinion. There were some minor parts of the story that also seemed to take away from it also.
While I did enjoy the storyline, and how certain characters seemed to have lifelike personalities, I was left feeling somewhat lacking when it came to the end of the story. I think I just felt like there could be more to the story. However, I did enjoy this story and if there are more to come in the series I will be sure to check them out and see what else happens in the family.
