About the book:

A cowboy is in over his head in this contemporary Western from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Clare.
Single father Henry "Hank" Watson is a fresh transplant from Alaska to Painted Barrel, Wyoming. He doesn't want anything more from life than to put in a good day's work, then go home to his daughter, Libby. But when Libby needs some emergency work done on her curls thanks to a gum incident, Hank's out of his depth. He takes his daughter into town where he meets Becca, the local salon owner.

Becca's still nursing a broken heart after her ex dangled marriage in front of her, then bailed a few days before the wedding. She's done with men...or so she thinks. When she meets Hank and his little girl, she realizes that they need her help with more than just hair. It's clear they both need a woman in their lives.

Everyone in town thinks Hank is too gruff for someone as sweet as Becca. But what they don't realize is that he makes Becca feel loved. She can see a future with him and his adorable daughter...if they don't move back to Alaska.

My Thoughts:

Becca was jilted by her long-time fiancé two days before their wedding. Two years later the small town of Painted Barrel still laments her loss, and Becca is tired of being the sad girl left at the altar.  So when a big, silent, lumberjack of a man brings his cute daughter in with a hair emergency Becca sees the care and love he has for his daughter, finds out he’s single and asks him out on a date…and he says no.

Hank has a limited amount of experience with women being in a sparsely populated area of Alaska for most of his life. He’s been fooled by a woman before so when the pretty, soft, girly hairdresser asks him on a date it must be some sort of prank or scheme, right? Except Becca seems to act all out of heart helping his family when there’s nothing in it for her, and he falls a little more every time he lays on her.

Becca and Hank were such lovely characters, full of heart and emotions, made vulnerable by past hurts. I loved watching them gradually fall for each other, a little more each day.  I loved that this was a mature romance with no games played, each intensely attracted, but not wanting to get hurt again. 

I’ve been loving Jessica Clare’s Wyoming Cowboy series! The romances have been seriously hot, but also sweet and heartwarming. I can’t wait for Caleb and Amy’s romance to come after reading the little sneak peek at the end!
