Couragous Heroine vs Resistant Hot Cowboy

Can Haley's compassion and courage overcome Jackson Cade's hate of "career" women? Haley is the new vet in town facing Jackson's hatred of women like her. In the beginning, he is rude and harsh to her. Even Cade realizes his remarks are ungentlemanly; he who was drilled in treating every women as a gentleman. We soon realize his attitude is in order to resist Haley. From the very first, he realized he would have to do something in order to resist Haley, a career woman, if he was to keep his vow. However, after having to call Haley out to save an extremely valuble stud horse, he realizes the courage and compassion she radiates is not what he expects. He also realizes Haley has been in an extremely abusive relationsip in the past. Haley in her turn, has loved Jackson Cade since she was 15. She had briefly been staying with an aunt and attending school. Jackson took the wallflower she was and danced with her and encouraged her to "show'em all". From that time on, she had grown stronger and never forgot Jackson's encouragement.The main theme touches on crossroads and how an event or person can have a bad or good affect towards how a person turns out.Both Jackson and Haley had "events" when they were young that changed their attitude about life; Haley to face situations with courage, Jackson to avoid relationships with career women.How the immovable object Jackson, is worn down by the unstoppable, compassionate Haley is a wonderful read. I truly admire how Haley calmly faces Jackson's antipathy. Also, it was fun to watch all Jackson's friends conspire to help Haley reel him in.There is also danger and intrigue as acts of sabatage happen at Jackson's ranch. Is it an old enemy? Or someone new?The book was short but very enjoyable. I plan to look up the other B.J. James books , "Men of Belle Terre, and the "Black Watch" series. Enjoy!
