I don't really have an opening quote for this.
SUMMARY
Mackenzie (Mack) is raising his daughter, Zoey, alone after Zoey's mother died in childbirth. Thirteen years ago, he was engaged to a different woman: Jill.
Jill suddenly pops back into Mack's life after Zoey gets the brilliant idea to send her dad's pictures in to a magazine contest featuring a different bachelor each month. Zoey desperately wants a mother and wants to find her dad a wife. Jill is the photojournalist who is assigned to take the photos of Mack.
Both she and Mack blame the other person for 'betraying' them and each think they are justified and the other person is the 'horrible one' to blame for their break-up.

ANALYSIS
We've got a number of tropes here.
We have a 12-year-old girl trying to get her father married. I think this is strange. Sure, I've seen The Parent Trap, but I still think it is a strange idea.
She also seems to think... I don't know, that any woman will do or that all women will have an interest in fashion and hair and makeup. Her dad lives with a woman - his elderly housekeeper Erma - but I guess she's "old" and "not cool" and only buys Zoey functional clothes.
But women are not a monolith. It doesn't occur to her that 1.) there's no guarantee a woman sent to her father will fall in love with him, and 2.) It doesn't occur to her that just because someone is a woman in her 30s doesn't mean she's 'girly,' interested in fashion and shoes, and able to give Zoey the makeover she seemingly wants.
It's ridiculous.
Another trope we have going on is American Romances more 'traditional' values. It irks me when Jill thinks to herself,
She could still clearly recall the night thirteen years ago when she'd driven from Lubbock to Turkey Creek Ranch to tell Mack about a scholarship she'd been offered to study for her master's in photojournalism in France. She'd hoped Mack would ask to move up their wedding date; she'd have gladly foregone Paris to be his wife. But she'd walked in on a touching scene with her fiancé consoling his sobbing former girlfriend. pg. 16
It's only because she believed (incorrectly) that Mack cheated on her and got Faith pregnant that she goes to Paris to get her education.
And later, somehow, even though she's sent over here as a photographer to take pictures of Mack for a magazine article, she becomes his live-in housekeeper-cook. Which is RIDICULOUS, because a.) she hates him because she thinks he cheated on her when she was engaged, and b.) she can't cook for shit, and c.) I have a very hard time believing a photojournalist would get roped into becoming a full-time housekeeper/cook on a ranch for two weeks. o.O I just very seriously doubt it.
And Mack is just like, "Cook dinner for me and all the men for when we get back from the trail" and she's like, "I can't cook" and he's like, "Oh, ha ha ha, see you later, bye" and then is genuinely surprised when her meatloaf is... technically edible but not tasty. She told you she couldn't cook, asshole. Do you just assume anyone with a vagina can cook?!?! Yes, you did, although I have to tell you that Mack's daughter Zoey is the LAZIEST farm-girl (well, ranch-girl) I've ever seen in my entire life. I know farm kids, and let me tell you, farm kids are expected to fucking WORK. Get up at dawn and do chores kind of WORK. This girl whines about collecting eggs, doesn't cook, can't clean, seemingly knows nothing about how to care for animals or the house. It's ludicrous, I've never seen a farm girl so spoiled. I guess Mack's elderly live-in housekeeper takes care of all the cleaning, all the cooking, and most of the smaller farm chores while he and his ranch-hands take care of the bigger jobs. So Zoey has a poor work ethic. And Mack seems totally fine with this, although he seems to expect any wife of his to work, and work hard. So ???
One of the biggest annoyances of this book is that the humongous elephant in the room is just never talked about. They don't discuss The Big Misunderstanding until 90%! 90%! And this is AFTER they have had sex and AFTER This is unacceptable. If two people are going to start a relationship... or more accurately, re-start a relationship, I think clearing the air and discussing the (quite frankly very dramatic) past is VERY IMPORTANT. If you are too afraid to bring up this subject with your man/your woman, then this is NOT a good basis for a relationship.
Communication is a very important part of a relationship, and being hesitant to discuss something that happened 13 years ago is a bad sign. I don't understand how we get this far into the book and into their relationship without anyone bringing it up! I get that it's awkward, but it's also pretty fucking important. I mean, they each think the other betrayed them and is a terrible person. You think you'd want to clear that up and maybe ask, "Why?"
HOW'S THE SEX, CARMEN?
Bozo here is not impressing me in bed. He is uninterested in foreplay, and so I'm uninterested in him.
As is typical with most heroes, of course he wasn't celibate after his wife dies. He has 'discreet' affairs with women 'who don't live in La Mesa' and 'understand he doesn't want a long-term relationship.' Books always say things like this, and I find it ludicrous. For instance, people easily can travel between towns. They're called 'cars.' Dating someone in another zip code is NOT a guarantee no one in your zip code will ever find out about her. People go to other towns to work, see movies, have dinner, go to plays... Secondly, where does he find women who are totally on board with this? Am I supposed to think there is a plethora of women who just are totally fine to having sex with no relationship, never get the wrong idea and push him for more, allow him to keep coming back and both of them (the women and Mack) never ever develop any feelings for each other?!?! This is a very complicated situation, and books always gloss over it like it's TOTALLY easy and normal.
THE PROPOSAL
Then they FINALLY at 90% discuss their past and their problems and they get a huge fight (of course), a fight in which I think Jill is wrong and Mack is right. It's a fight involving Zoey, and Jill stomps back to NYC in a huff. Really mature. /s I'm angry at her because she seems just fine with putting Zoey's whole future and happiness on the line so casually.
When they reunite and live happily ever after, I am not a happy camper. Should these two even be together? I think the author should have had the Big Discussion much earlier in the book, and taken it from there. I think putting it off until the very end was a mistake. It annoyed me that these people were comfortable making huge decisions (having sex, deciding to get married) WITHOUT discussing the HUGE, HUGE dramatic past that was hanging over their head in every scene.
I don't know about you, but if I ran into an ex-fiancé who had - I believed - cheated on me and gotten another woman pregnant... you'd best believe I'd be asking him about that shit. You'd best believe I'd want some answers about that shit. She ran away 13 years ago, never confronted him about it - which, frankly, I don't understand either, but ok, some people are not comfortable with confrontation - but now that it's 13 years later I would definitely want to talk about it and want some fucking answers. I assume he would, too. Everyone's cooled down. It's all over now. Why not talk about it instead of letting this huge raincloud hang over your every interaction?
Fox was probably going for dramatic effect, but I still think the book could have been dramatic and interesting without this (stupid) angle.
TL; DR Sigh. Mack wasn't really an asshole, he was more of a boorish oaf who did not have the capacity to look at the world from anyone's perspective than his own. He wasn't curious, patient, or kind. He was the kind of man who thinks everything is going to fall into place for him, everyone is going to listen to his ideas and obey - not because he was a huge asshole, just because that's all life had ever shown him.
He was unable to think stuff like, "My daughter is unhappy. I wonder why?" or "Jill left me abruptly with no discussion thirteen years ago. Why did she do that? I should ask her. She seems angry at me for some reason."
Stuff like this never occurs to him because he only thinks about himself, his wants, his needs and his life. He's not an asshole (usually). If someone points out a problem to him, literally walks up to him and says, "Your daughter is not happy. She wants to start wearing something other than plaid to fit in better at school." He would be like, "OK, well, let's solve this problem." But it would never occur to him (no matter HOW his daughter is behaving) that something might be wrong or she may be unhappy. He's just completely clueless and also uninterested. Unless someone smacks him upside the head, he just barrels through life as he always has. I don't find this attractive.
And Jill was presenting me with her own problems. Why the fuck didn't she talk to Mack about what happened thirteen years ago?!?!?!!? Why would she have such a stupid stance on things at the end of the book?!?!!? Good riddance. I wasn't crazy about her, either.

Texas Dad was a very good book. Mack Banneman is a Texas Rancher with a 12 year old daughter. Daughter wants a mother. Sends pictures of her dad into a magazine contest for single guys. Jill Walker is a photojournalist with the magazine. She is sent to take pictures and interview Mack. The story line here is that Jill and Mack were college lovers and were to get married. Jill left without telling him why. She had overheard Mack talking to another girl saying he would take care of her. Very interesting story line. A must read book. It is funny, and romance.
October 14, 2014
Good second chance story. Mack is content with life as it is, taking care of his ranch and his twelve year old daughter. Zoey, however, isn't as happy. She's getting to the age where she'd really like to have a mom, but her dad isn't cooperating. So, without his knowledge, she enters him in a magazine contest, hoping that he'll win and get introduced to a potential mom for her.
JJ is a photojournalist for the magazine and is the one assigned to do the story about him. She's not happy about it because she and Mack were engaged back during college. But she overheard something that made her believe he'd been unfaithful, so she left him without explanation. She's determined to get through this assignment as quickly as possible, before she gets involved with him again.
Mack is stunned to see JJ again, and not very happy about the reason why. But he loves Zoey and puts his own feelings aside to do this for her. He doesn't expect to find that his feelings for JJ are still alive and getting stronger every day. But he was burned by her once before and he's not so sure that she's going to stick around this time.
I liked seeing Mack and JJ getting to know each other again. The attraction is still there, but both are wary about getting involved again. Mack seems to be especially skittish, and has a tendency to jump to conclusions. There's a scene where the ranch is threatened by a fire while Mack is away and in spite of everything JJ does to try to protect it, Mack says some really terrible things to her before he gets the facts. I was quite happy to see JJ stand up for herself and not let him off the hook easily. Things start to look a bit more promising for them, until a secret Mack has been keeping comes to light and throws another wedge between them, accentuating that they never really dealt with their past. Now they have to decide if their love is enough to overcome the problems.
I really enjoyed the part that Zoey played in the book. She knows what she wants and she has no problem with working to achieve it. I also liked the realistic way she was portrayed. Her desire for a mom is fueled a great deal by the fact that she doesn't feel like her dad really understands what it is like for her. She has a great relationship with him, but he is a clueless man after all. I liked seeing how well she and JJ hit it off. Once she discovered that Mack and JJ had once been in love, her determination to bring them back together was fun to watch.

3 1/2 Stars ~ Thirteen years ago, Jill and Mack had been college sweethearts, and were engaged to be married. When Mack's father dies, he's needed to return to the ranch, and Jill hopes he'll ask her to move up the wedding. Over hearing Mack and his former girlfriend in what Jill thinks is Mack making a commitment to the other girl, Jill decides to take the art scholarship to Paris, and via her Mom she sends Mack back his ring. Jill had heard that Mack had married Faith and their child had been born a little while later. Mack had read through their college alumni newsletter all about Jill's jet setting career, her awards as a photo-journalist, and her fabulous job with a New York woman's magazine.
Zoe's 12, and though she knows she's got the best dad, she misses a mother's influence. Her friends all have feminine clothes that suit their growing up, while she's still considered the tomboy ranch girl. With the help of her best friend, Zoe decides it's time to find her dad a new wife so she can have a mother. She enters her dad in a single man of the month contest with a woman's magazine and is excited when the magazine has picked her Dad to be the man for August. The winner has a four page article dedicated to them, plus a female reader gets to deliver to the man of the month a donation for a charity of their choice and enjoy a romantic dinner for two. But Zoe hasn't told her Dad that she's entered him, and when Jill shows up to photograph and do the interview, Mack's far from thrilled to see Jill again, she's the woman who broke his heart and deserted him.
This is a sweet reunion story. While I understood Jill's reaction to run and end their engagement, I understood too Mack's reaction that she hadn't trusted him enough to talk it out. If not for Zoe I'm not sure if either would have given each other the time of day, but once their forced into each other's company, their old chemistry takes over. Zoe plays a prominent role in this story, Ms Fox uses her to show us what sort of people Mack and Jill have become. The setting, the ranching lifestyle and the great characters make this a lovely read.

This is only the second book by this author that I've read - I enjoyed it just as much as 'The Secret Wedding Dress'. Engaging characters, a sweet kid, misunderstandings but not too much angst, and a renewed romance. Very entertaining.

Well her best friend has the perfect idea, nominating her father in a contest to be one of the men featured as man of the month for One Woman Magazine, which will give him a check for his charity of choice and a date with the woman presenting the check.
