Slow Surrender by Bronwyn Williams

I enjoyed this story.

The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.

ATTRACTED
Everyone in her North Carolina town knew MacRorah Douglas as a rebellious young girl who was always getting herself into scrapes. Unlike her friends, who hoped for proper husbands, MacRorah wanted freedom. Vowing never to be misled by love or trapped into marriage, she impulsively decided that what she needed was a man to teach her about desire with no strings attached. But no one warned her that passion could capture her heart…

CAUGHT
Visiting Yankee Courtland Adams dreaded going back to Connecticut to marry a pretty but incredibly boring heiress. When he saved a girl with amber eyes from colliding with an ice wagon, he suddenly found that holding her in his arms affected him like headiest days of spring in the Carolinas. The next time he saw her was the night he arrived on her doorstep in answer to her shocking advertisement. And so began her lesson in "desire."

I really liked reading this book. It kept my attention and I never wanted to put the book down once I picked it up. There weren't any slow parts or way too embarrassing to read parts as I usually find in most books. Overall this was a really good book!
