Convincing the Rancher

December 1, 2014

Nothing shakes things up like discovering that the person you need to work with on your renewable energy company's wind farm proposal is the man you had a hot one-night stand with two years ago. When community relations expert Tess Cole walks into Mayor Slaid Jacobs's office, the situation goes from difficult to impossible, especially with Slaid insisting that Tess stay on the job. As far as Tess is concerned, it's going to be all business, but Slaid seems to have other ideas. VERDICT Lively, funny, and beautifully paced, this enjoyable romance pairs a relationship-wary heroine with a responsible single dad in a captivating story that beautifully conveys the Eastern Sierra high desert setting and has character links to the author's earlier Superromances. McEwen (More Than a Rancher) lives along the Northern California coast.]
