Ranch owner Caleb Kirkpatrick is a single dad with too much on his plate. The latest ranch expansion means he needs someone to cook for his men. His brother’s idea to have the cooks compete for the job might be the craziest thing he’s ever heard. Until he meets Laura, who seems to be the most unlikely candidate to be a ranch cook.

When the competition among the women gets fierce, someone decides to play dirty, and Laura’s cooking skills might not be enough. But if she doesn’t get this job, she has nowhere to go. Not to mention the growing feelings she’s having for her boss, feelings she tries to suppress.

The drama among the competing women is almost more than Caleb can handle. He’s got his hands full with missing equipment and dead cattle. But Laura isn’t like the others, and despite his best intentions, his feelings for her are growing. What is the secret she’s hiding? Will she ever trust him enough to allow them to have a future together? And will her Chicago past chase her down in rural Nebraska?

I have to be honest and say that I started this book on a Monday evening and I had trouble putting it down. I can no longer stay up all night to finish a book thanks to my new full time job. I had to put it down at 11 PM. I admit that I read a couple chapters during my Tuesday lunch break at work. I was eager to get home to finish reading it. Which I did.

Since finishing the book I have to say that my anticipation wasn’t completely satisfied. Although the romance between the leading characters held the book together for me, the mystery was a bit weak and the secondary characters could have been more developed. .

Caleb Kirkpatrick, the hero, made me smile and laugh out loud a couple of times. The fact that his brother convinced him to invite three women to the ranch to compete for the position of the cook at the ranch was a unique plot. Laura, the heroine, is one of the three woman. Her history was a bit unrealistic but she is a likable character. I felt that Caleb and Laura made a great match. I enjoyed their banter back and forth.

Overall this book entertained me. There is a particular unforgettable scene that I have never read before in any romance book that surprised me. I’m pretty sure that scene will be one I’ll never forget, but you’ll have to discover it for yourself (no spoilers here). I would recommend this book for some simple pleasure.
