The sleepy town of Wildwoods was abuzz with romance ever since a doctoral student decided to come there and find everyone's perfect match. When sophisticated city girl Stacie Summers was paired with rugged cowboy Josh Collins, they both thought it was a terrible mistake. After all, they didn't have a thing in common…other than the spark that instantly flared between them.
But even though Josh thought his survey result was way off base, he couldn't push the gregarious Stacie from his mind. And Stacie's low opinion of ranchers inched up with her heart rate whenever Josh was around. Could this unlikely friendship turn into something even unlikelier—love?

I was expecting a heteronormative on-the-nose love story which ended in marriage, but this was Something Else. Dear God. Not horrible prose, but horrible underlying ideas. Women are objects. Men are objects, sometimes. People have a ‘type.’ The particularly saccharine theme of ‘finding your bliss’ *retches*. The excitement with which I learned a female character was studying for a PhD coupled with the almost immediate disappointment of discovering it was in ‘male-female compatability.’ Her ground breaking hypothesis was that getting people to fill in a questionnaire about themselves might allow her to ‘match’ them successfully with another person. If she got funding for that I bloody better well get funding for mine.
