He was my nemesis.
The impossible cowboy billionaire who wanted to steal my inheritance.
I was the city girl trying to run a failing ranch.
James Callahan took one look at me and decided I didn't belong here.
Too bad I'm stubborn as hell.
Every time he pushed, I pushed back harder.
Every smirk, every challenge, every infuriating "city girl" that fell from his lips,
Only made me more determined to prove him wrong.
I didn't expect to find him teaching me to ride horses.
I didn't expect midnight conversations under endless stars.
And I definitely didn't expect seven heated minutes in a closet that changed everything.
When a devastating fire nearly destroyed my dreams,
I was ready to surrender.
But James wasn't fighting for my land anymore.
He was fighting for us.
But can a city girl and a cowboy billionaire really make forever work?
Or will I lose more than just my ranch when this fire between us finally burns out?

Funny Story
This was a great love story. Two very competitive people afraid to lose control when their worlds collide into each other. He a rich arrogant cowboy who has the world at his feet in his small town. Everyone afraid to say no to him, then she tumbles in from nowhere to claim her inheritance, a worn ranch. Could he get her to sell? How would she fit in around town? I really enjoyed reading this hilarious story. Highly recommend reading this book!

Slow burn…
This was nice… they finally got there; but I felt it could have been hotter or sexier if the msc could have been described in more detail. If not for the cover, she could have been any race. Me being a Black woman in my own interracial marriage, I prefer to rad books that connect with me or may reflect my relationship of commitment. I may read another book by this author, but I hope her next book can bring it. I know I may sound silly, but I like books with HEAs.

Great read
There was a lot of "smirking" going on in this book. None the less, I really enjoyed. It has been a long time since I've completely enjoyed a Samantha Drake book. This book reminds me of her earlier work. There seems to be more care unlike the last couple of books.
I'm hoping Colt and Maya get their own book. They seem like they would have the readers laughing.

love in the air
Zoe came there broken and optimistic. The place needed way more than she had to give but she pushed through. She didn't know that she didn't have to do it alone. A certain cowboy came in like a white knight but she wasn't looking to be saved. Her stubbornness didn't stop him from restoring her place or her heart

Pretty good
This book was pretty good! I love bwwm cowboy romances!
They are usually really good. I haven't been disappointed yet. Samantha Drake is a really good author also. I love reading her interracial novels. James and Zoe was a kinda slow burn but worth it. Great job!
