But in the wide-open spaces of the Sierra Nevadas, their clashing wills ignite a passion as wild and untamed as the land itself.Soon, Sarah must ask herself: what if the greatest role of her life isn’t on a film set but right here, in a small-town community that’s beginning to feel like home?"I contain multitudes, city girl." —Chase Bowman, Sierra Pines Ranch Foreman
"Are you gonna kiss me, cowboy?"Welcome to Sierra Pines!! I loved this small town romance where the Hollywood girl meets the grumpy cowboy. Chase Bowman had devoted his life to Sierra Pines Ranch, expecting to take it over one day. But when the owner unexpectedly passed away, he left the ranch to a daughter he never knew. Sarah Pines was a production assistant, a struggling screenwriter working toward her big break. When she found out she had inherited land and a legacy from a man she never knew
A sweet small town romance with a strong FMC!I devoured this book! This was a sweet and layered story. Sarah has such a huge decision to make. I love how thoroughly she contemplated her options. And I love Sierra Pines and all it's characters. They are all so welcoming to her, not trying to manipulate her or influence her. They all make it known that it's her choice. They genuinely cared for her and just wanted to befriend her. Sarah is strong and only becomes stronger as the story progresses. S
Fast and furious in this bookThe idea of this story is great. I feel like the jump from enemies (if you can really call it that) to lovers was faster than it should have been. There was very little angst building. It felt like it all happened in a week...which is less than worthy of such a plot. With that said, if more was put into each timeframe within the book, it could be something special.
