Flint Hills Bride
SHE'D BEEN THE TOMBOY HEIRESS AND HE, THE HIRED HAND ...
Now things were a little different. He was Jake Rawlins, dedicated lawman, and she was Emily Prescott, woman on the run. But all Jake wanted was to get her to trust him enough to run straight into his waiting arms.
Emily had never been denied anything by her family, until now. And if the man they were trying to keep her away from was the man she really wanted to marry, how come Jake was looking better all the time?

The heroine ruined the book.
Heroine - TSTL, Spoiled, Selfish, immature,self-centered, ignorant, mean. She was a liar, slut, thief, and a criminal. She didn't deserve such a perfect hero.
I kept reading to see if the author could turn her around, she couldn't. I was hoping to see if she would be made to grovel. She didn't. No redemption in my eyes.
Hero-Perfect. Only ever loved the heroine. Saved himself for her even when she loved another. Never strayed, and even accepted the slut heroine after he found out she was pregnant with another man's child. Too good for the heroine.
The one sex scene was terrible. It was pages of undressing, and talking.. and I'm not talking about sensually..just talking about stupid things that breaks the mood. The undressing was equally bad. The actual sex was tepid at best.
The story started out pretty good, but fell flat at about 35% and I skimmed most of the rest.
The writing was ok, but the heroine made me lose interest.
Pass on this one.
Safety -
Hero-Virgin. Fisrt last and only with heroine.
Heroine - Experienced. Didn't enjoy it until the hero. Pregnant by first lover.
Cheating- Depends on your definition of cheating. She was in love with Ansen (not the hero). So, she does kiss Ansen after she knows that Jake(hero) loves her. But she didn't love Jake yet. I don't consider this cheating, but others may not like this in their romances.
Violence-Mild
Rape/torture/Abuse-No
Cursing-No
Sex-One time, detailed, mild.
Insta love/lust-No
Marriage-Yes
Baby-Yes..but not the hero's
