Blurb:
Ally Kincaid returns to Freewill, Wyoming, to see her father
after a two year absence. Anticipating a quiet family reunion, she finds
herself butting heads with her father’s foreman instead. The man’s arrogance
and sexy drawl push all her buttons, making her wonder what he’s hiding beneath
his cowboy swagger.
Matt Gentry walked away from the past and shies from the
future. No ties means no one gets hurt…until the boss’s daughter, a hot,
green-eyed blonde, tempts him to break his own rules.
When tragedy strikes, will building tension and pride
destroy their growing attraction or show them the way home?
Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of

Excerpt:
Ally’s attention immediately flew to the newcomer in the
room. How could she not? He was gorgeous. Not that she actually wanted to
notice. Ha! Who was she kidding? His
hair was still damp where it curled slightly at the neckline of his T-shirt.
The short sleeve tee was snug fitting and showed off his pectorals and tanned
arm muscles. He grabbed his plate, made his way around the table, and leaned in
close. Oh, his scent hit her—clean soap and pure male. Good God.
“Like what you see, princess?” he murmured.
Startled out of her trance, she stumbled for a quick, snide
comment. “You wish, cowboy,” she whispered back, and then turned back to her
daddy, who was already halfway finished with his meal.
She was not about to let anyone see how rattled the
foreman’s presence actually made her. She only hoped she hadn’t already given
her odd interest in him away. Ignore him and he won't be any the wiser. She would be sure to make this trip a short
one, or she would be in trouble.
Jesse cleaned his plate and abruptly stood, placed his
dishes in the sink, and made to leave the room.
“Looks like you kids get to do the dishes. I’m off to my
study.” Her dad kissed the top of her head and slapped his foreman on the back,
then chuckled as he disappeared through the door.
“That rat!” she said. “He shoveled through his dinner on
purpose.”
“No worries, princess. I do the dishes every night anyway.
You can go do whatever it is you do before bed. I’ll take care of the clean up
before I head out to check the horses.”
“Oh no you don’t. I won’t let you go running to Daddy
tomorrow whining because I didn’t do my share, so I’ll wash. And why are you
calling me ‘princess’?”
“It seemed fitting. Would you rather me go back to ma'am?”
“No, I would rather you use my name, thank you.”
He only shrugged. He
pushed his place setting aside, rose, and reached for the dessert and plates on
the counter. “Since we'll be working
together, how about some dessert before we get busy?”
My Review:
Ally Kincaid has been living
in New York and hasn’t been home to Freewill, Wyoming in two years. I loved
Ally from the moment I met her. She was feisty from the very beginning, I loved
that her first impression of Matt Gentry wasn’t the best. It just adds that
level of conflict to the story.
Matt Gentry knows he should
stay away from the boss’s daughter but he can’t help himself, she’s just too
interesting, too loveable, and too irresistible. I liked Matt; he was
everything you want in a cowboy, sure of himself and great with horses. He was
afraid of his past driving Ally away and Ally can’t quite trust someone with
secrets, but Ms. Ames does a beautiful job showing how you can fall in love
with someone just that quickly even when they aren’t sure of one another.
This is part of the Western
Escape series from Decadent Publishing so it’s set in the little town of
Freewill, Wyoming but we spend most of the time on the ranch. The descriptions
of the land around the ranch and the life on the ranch, made me want to run off
to Wyoming and find my own cowboy. I found this short, hot story a great
distraction to my busy life, I’m definitely adding Krista Ames to my must read
list.

Well dang Sheri! That sounds so good!! I hadn't seen this one before but you've got me wanting to read it. I love when I find a character like the heroine and instantly feel connected with them. And, really, who doesn't love a good cowboy ;)
