About the author
Mary Winter
125 books90 followersMary commutes between her dream home near the Mark Twain national forest in Missouri and her current residence in Iowa. She lives with a menagerie of animals including an opinionated horse and a cat who was a dog in past life. When not writing spicy tales of erotic romance, she enjoys writing science fiction and fantasy, spending time with her horse, and enjoying the outdoors. Lucky for her, her partner (hero) shares these same passions, and usually both of them can be found in their respective dens writing.
And it’s not far from the truth. Mary began writing in high school after she discovered Silhouette Desire romance novels and realized that she wanted to be the one to write stories that carried readers away from their oh-so-boring lives. She has a deep appreciation and love of the natural, the spirtual, and the metaphysical, which has led to her running Jupiter Gardens and writing for new age and pagan magazines. She is attuned to Reiki II and reads tarot cards.
Right now her household includes six cats, ranging in age from less than six months (Tenzin, former feral kitten) to seventeen years (Tigger, diabetic kitty), her horse, two parrots, a finch flight, a geriatric parakeet flight, and her partner, the hero of her own personal romance story.
Her favorite television shows are Torchwood, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Who (new), Battlestar Galactica (new), Babylon 5, Farscape, and Sex in the City. Her favorite movies are Spaceballs, The Cutting Edge, Serenity, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, the LoTR trilogy, and probably a few others she’s forgetting. Her musical tastes range from Enya, Clannad, David Arkenstone, David & Steve Gordon, Scott McDonald, and AfroCelt Sound System to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and others.

Other than a few mentions of cowboy, there wasn't much cowboy action in this novella. What bugged me the most, was that the hero got a real hardon for a knocked out woman. We're talking unconscious due to an accident. And the heroine, once she wakes up from being knocked out, jumps the cowboy's bones without a single thought in her mind. Yeah. Cause she didn't wake up with a huge lump on her forehead or a headache or anything. No, she was peachy and ready for sexin'.
This novella read like a Twilight (or any other fandom of your preference) fanfiction, where the story is only good cause the main players are Edward and Bella. You take out the names and other references, and the story just doesn't hold up. I have no idea if this is a rewrite or an original piece, but it just wasn't sexy at all. My guess is, had the author written this as a longer story, and had the space to add inn the drama from waking up after being knocked out by the steering wheel, and the drama from finding out she was 'had' when she bought the farm next door to the hero - it probably would have ended up being a much better book.
