Surprisingly Good

I loved it. Normally, I don't read the Superromance line, but the description of the book really caught my eye. Since there isn't a summary here, I'll write it out from back of the book: "First she quit school to get married. Then she spent years being the perfect corporate wife - only to get dumped. Finally she went home to manage her family's ranch, figuring even she couldn't wreck a smoothly running operation. But she'd saved the worst for last. Who would've guessed that those sweet little cows she'd put out to pasture would turn into feral beasts that refused to be rounded up? Simple math said 0 cows=$0. And $0 meant her family's ranch was in jeopardy. What Clementine needed now as a miracle. Hard to believe that a mircale would take in a form of Dexter Scott. But if a silent, ornery and stubborn cowboy was all that available, then she'd take what she could get." The description really caught my eye. It sounded interesting and funny, which it definitely was. Some parts were very funny and charming. The heroine, Clem, a recent divorcee was trying to find herself after marrying so young. I grew to respect her. She was scared of facing life on her own, but she had the guts to try to run her parent's ranch on her own. Being a little too overconfident, she was some cows that she cound that she couldn't handle on her own. This is where our hero, Dexter Scott, pops in. Due to his past, he no longer did round ups and contented himself with raising untrainable horse. With each other's help and friends, they slowly and surely grew together to overcome their pasts and into each other arms. This is a clean romance and depends more on sexual tension, emotions and plot, which I find refreshing. The author wrote this really well, without being too prosy. You grew to love all the characters by the end.

Rich in the real things of life

Susan Floyd has a knack for presenting a story so real and down to earth and moving I have to take my hat off to her.Her characters struggle with the problems all of us struggle with, but they're not just the surface difficulties of rounding up wild cows or running a ranch alone. The inner fears and strengths of Real Life are presented with insight and compassion,and the growth and resilience of her hero and heroine are inspiring. Ms. Floyd understands life and doesn't flinch from grappling with it.I loved the ranch setting, the lovingly detailed mid-California countryside, the banter among the cowhands, the clearly not-stereotypical heroine with her verve and insecuritycombined into a real, struggling, brave, person who learns to take risks. And the hero... well, we all want one like Dexter Scott.This is the kind of writer whose works I will continue to seek; they ring with honesty and they touch me deeply.Carolyn Woolston (writing as Lynna Banning)
