Parker doesn’t want the busty paralegal to break his brother’s heart. He’s seen her type before, and tries to warn Yukon before he gets in too deep.

The author paints Robyn as the perfect city girl out of her element in a small barely there farm town. The sights, sounds and worst off, the smells are almost more than she can take in. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her and being from a small town, I totally had to laugh a little at her observations. Bless her heart! It’s good writing when it makes the reader feel things, sadness, anger, even being a little put out by the prejudices of big city folk. I couldn’t wait for her to actually meet the Rough and Ready cowboys who would not only rock her world, but change her perspective.
She most definitely needed to see her way to finding new friends. I was surprised at how her relationship with Shelly began in the story and how that turns out. Maybe Shelly will show up again and see some of the other local cowboys in a better light.
I fell for brothers Yukon and Parker right along with Robyn. They were raised good, honorable men and were just trying to make their parents proud. But making a living at crop farming was tough and it was easy to see it had taken its toll on both men. They needed a reason to keep working towards their goals, a reason to not give up on a future. That reason waltzed into the Longhorn on a dust covered pair of stilettos and it was the beginning of a love story. Okay, maybe it was the beginning of a whole lot of heated looks and sexually charged touching but a beginning nonetheless.
There were a couple of issues with “convenience” scenes that seemed to be used to establish perception or opportunity in the story but didn’t really flow with the story. It came across as unnecessary filler. There’s a scene where we first meet Yukon where he rescues a local girl from some ruffians and then later a kid shows up at their house in the middle of a rain storm. It doesn’t so much take away the story, it simply didn’t add to it, if that makes sense. The story is good without the filler. I was rooting for Robyn to see the possibilities and the future she could have with the brothers if she only had the courage.
In all, I liked this short story. The characters were interesting and I wanted to see them find their HEA. I met several potential heroes and heroines for upcoming additions to the series and it’ll be interesting to see what becomes of them. Big city girl meets small town hotness in Stetsons. Always a good way to spend an evening.
