Allison cannot believe her luck. Her soon-to-be fiancé is gay. Talk about miserable luck and on her wedding day to boot. Allison cannot believe that she was so blinded by love that she didn’t see the obvious about her fiancé, which leads her to wonder if the feelings she has for CJ Hall are real or just another stupid mistake she’s going to make. She’s stranded on his ranch and with a baby, which makes her wonder why she finds CJ so sexy and irresistible to her heart. She knows going into another relationship would be a disaster but she can’t ignore CJ’s tender touch with his nephew or the sexual attraction between them. Maybe being stranded on his ranch is a good thing but one thing she knows, she can’t be another bride unless they both love one another.

CJ Hall knows falling for Allison would be a bad thing but something in her innocence and naiveté has him drawn to her like a magnet. CJ is not sure exactly what is driving him to Allison. He’s been burned before by an ex, which has somewhat turned him away from women. At least that’s what he thought until Allison showed up in a wedding dress, making him wonder if she wants to continue with a honeymoon but with him warming her bed instead. CJ and Allison are two people attracted to one another but not sure how to continue for a permanent relationship. Life as a cowboy is not something he planned yet that’s his life. Now he just wishes that Allison enjoyed the same view of life and he might just find peace and a good person to love him.

What to do when you’re trapped with a sexy cowboy? Heck, you jump him! Duh. Yet for Allison it’s hard to learn that love is blind after being burned in such an embarrassing way. This time she’s got her eyes open and CJ is totally a man that will confuse her heart. I loved that Allison had this innocence about her yet still looked and felt all alone in CJ’s family. Here’s a person who needs love in her life but because of her past, she’s not sure about CJ’s attraction. On the other hand CJ is a cowboy I wouldn’t mind getting for Christmas. Cindy Spencer Pape sure knows how to tempt a person to be stranded with a cowboy like CJ. By the end, I realized I can’t wait to see about the rest of his family. Each character in the book besides Allison and CJ were a treat to read, making me wonder if there will be a story for each cowboy.
