I'm going to be honest and say I have not finished this book, I felt the need to review it because I don't know if I will finish it.
I just want to say; if your whole "theme" is I may talk slow but I don't think slow and the first 4 pages of the book is filled with nothing but cliches I'm going to be very skeptical of this "theme" from the beginning.
I'm setting the book aside for now and we'll see how I feel later.

Why is every man in Shotgun Ridge so hot and sexy? Dan Lucas is the town's preacher but he still a man. When Amy, a photojournalist comes to town she needs to marry Dan to save her mother's home. Her grandfather trying to control her from the grave makes a stipulation in his will that she must marry Dan for three months. I loved this story because these two are thrown together and both find out what they really want. Dan figures it out and sees how perfect Amy fits into his life. This is another well-written story with all the loving characters of Shotgun Ridge.

Great story
Love this series. Everyday people falling in love when they least expect to. This one was great showing that even preachers fall in love and lust after their wives.

The preacher takes a wife... Maybe
Amy's grandfather left a will saying her mother loses everything if she doesn't marry Preacher Dan. Prepare for the fun!

I truly enjoy this writer's work. This was a fast paced read, full of Shotgun Ridge characters. It can be read as a standalone. You do get a better sense of the characters if you read the books in order. If you don't, hopefully this book will make you want to start at the beginning.
There was an immediate attraction between Dan and Amy, but the relationship and love developed over a period of time. It blossomed as they got the chance to know each other better.
If you like small town romances, you should enjoy this one. There were a couple of teary eyed moments, but there were many feel good moments throughout this book. It left me with a smile on my face.
