A great story

Shane Nichols is the kind of guy that gives cowboys a good name. He'd do anything to help a friend (not always successfully). While Shane is sidelined from bull riding due to injury, his rodeo buddy, Cash, cries on Shane's shoulder that his girl (Milly) got tired of waiting for him and is getting married to someone else. When Cash has to leave to get to the next rodeo, Shane decides to help his buddy by "commandeering" the bride until after the wedding by hiding her in a friend's remote cabin. The only problem is, Shane grabs beautiful Polly instead of Milly. To make matters worse, Polly is the daughter of a judge who Shane had a run in with in his younger days. Shane never thought he would give up his rodeo days but finds himself more interested in Polly than bulls but feels he has nothing to offer her.This twists in this story are really quite amusing. This was a great book.

The last Code of the West series-A Cowboy's Tears was a pretty sad story involving Mace and Jenny, so this book involving Mace's brother Shane was a real delight. Shane thinks that he is doing his buddy a favor by kidnapping the woman that he loves, so that she is unable to marry the wrong man. Only things don't exactly go as planned for poor Shane. Darnit, he thought he was doing the right thing by helping out his buddy Cash. Shane does not think that anything could be worse than stealing the wrong lady, but again he finds out he is wrong. Not only is Poppy not the right girl, but she is also the daughter of a judge. And not just any judge, but the one judge that completely humiliated Shane many years back. Shane hopes his luck turns around and he falls off the face of the earth before Poppy's father gets ahold of him. Shane is also having a hard time understanding why Poppy is so darn happy about being snowed in at this small cabin. The last thing that Shane wants is to fall for Poppy-he has nothing to offer her. Unfortunately, Shane's luck has not been all that great lately and Poppy sees no reason not to enjoy herself while alone with Shane. They both have no idea whats in store for them. This was a great book and very funny. Shane ends up being the kidnapper, but you can not help but feel sorry for the guy. I can not wait to read the next book in the series about Shane's buddy Cash.

Marriage Happens to Other People...

Anne McAllister spins a yarn about a man named Shane who was nowhere near ready to be a home body or a husband. A freak accident leaves Shane recovering at his brothers house. Not wanting to see the homey relationship his brother and his wife share together, Shane hits the local watering hole. When he walks in he happens upon his buddy Cash, wallowing in the pits of despair. Shane finds out that the woman Cash is in love with is set to marry another man. The wheels get to turning inside the bull rider Shane's head. His scheme is to kidnap the beautiful bride who is sitting in the same bar laughing at his friend Cash. Shane wants to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life, and passing up a strapping male like Cash. There is only one hitch, he kidnaps the FLORIST, not the bride! To aggravate Shane even more, they get trapped in a snow storm together. Cliche? a little. Sexy, fun and a great read? A lot. Anne McAllister makes Shane's muscles jump off the pages, and Poppy's hair sway in your face. Will love win? Read the book to see what happens!
