She certainly doesn’t expect him to go after the deadbeat who abandoned her. She’s not looking for a know-it-all white knight with long, lean muscles and a sexy smile. He’s hot, but she’s already been burned.
Rodeo-star turned agent Eric Anders is used to managing people, especially irresponsible males, and he can’t stand it that some jerk has left Leda high and dry. Clearly, the boots-and-sundress wearing mouthy mama needs someone on her side. He could change her life, if only she would let him! And it has nothing to do with the fact that her sparkly exterior hides a spirit that is as sweet as it is strong – and irresistible.

When she meets the hot cowboy there is an array of emotions going through her. One of them is apprehension. Should she take a chance on finding her happily-ever-after again?
From the first page I saw the spark between Eric and Leda. The passion and chemistry were sweet and passionate. Eric instantly feels protective towards her and her child. That leads to a several situations where I was able to witness the hurt and pain that both of them have been carrying, though Leda’s is more recent compared to Eric’s.
The only detail that felt off about this short story was that the character details need a little bit more polishing. That being said, the plot is quite simple but effective combined with writing skills of Ms. Snopek.
This is a sweet story with a mouthy mama and an arrogant cowboy. He wants to be her white knight but this damsel is pretty self-sufficient. Readers who enjoy their heroines with some spunk and their cowboys with heart should give this one a try.
