Another one that I skimmed...just not my cup of tea. If you're looking for a sweet, clean romance, try this one...the author is a good writer. It was just too focused on the characters liking each other or not for my taste. Too romancy and fairly predictable. I skimmed half the book and sent it back to the church library. However, I've really liked some of Darty's novellas.

A light, enjoyable read with good characters and storyline. I especially enjoyed Robin, the main female character, and her relationship with Zach and Will, the sons of her employer.

This was a cute book. Robin Grayson enlists the help of her cousin in getting a job on a ranch her great-grandfather had settled. While there, she meets the new owner, Craig Cameron. I think the author did really well in creating the back story for Craig and his sons, though a couple of the side characters needed a little more fleshing out, namely Robin's cousin and uncle. Some of the other characters are given interesting stories, which could be novels in their own right. I think the only part that really bothered me was the fact that, at the end of the novel, Robin goes against Craig's wishes and speaks to her uncle about giving Craig a loan, when he clearly wanted to talk to him himself. It is good that they both apologize, but I don't think it is made very clear that this was something that was very inappropriate of her to do.
