About the book:
Her rancher boss is looking for the perfect wife...and she wants the job!
Poppy Sinclair kept her feelings for Isaiah Grayson secret for a decade. When her infuriatingly gorgeous Stetson-wearing boss enlists her help in finding him a convenient wife, she threatens to quit. Until Isaiah counters with an interesting proposal: Why doesn't she marry him? Can she say yes to sharing his life and his bed, but not his heart?
My Thoughts:
Poppy has been in love with her boss for ten years and the guy
doesn’t realize it! I could forgive this to a point because it’s clear from the
beginning that Isaiah, while being a brilliant business man is socially clueless.
Isaiah’s on the spectrum in some way
even if it’s not officially stated that he is, all around him acknowledge that
he’s not the average male when it comes to feelings or social interactions. So
being around Poppy and not realizing that she loves him or even looking at her potential
romantic partner was easier to excuse.
Isaiah isn’t a hearts and flowers kind of guy since Poppy’s foster
sister betrayed him several years ago. But
Isaiah likes the idea of a wife, family, and stability, so his sensible answer
is to put out an ad to find a woman to fill the role. I can’t imagine a job more infuriating or
heartbreaking than searching for the potential wife for the man you love, but
thankfully Poppy doesn’t just roll over and take it, and the quest doesn’t last
for more than a heartbeat. Poppy’s got a spine and stands up to Isaiah. Isaiah’s brilliant reaction is to have Poppy
fill the role; I mean she’s been the one constant in his life forever, gets him
like no other woman can, and he quickly learns that they have off-the-charts-chemistry!
Oh, I just loved Want
Me, Cowboy! Maisy Yates has a way of
touching my heart with every one of her romances! Unrequited love that blossoms into more is one
of my favorite romances! Both Isaiah and
Poppy were insecure and worried to show the depth of their feelings beyond the
arrangement they strike up, but the sizzle and emotions between them made it
impossible to keep each other at arm’s length, even in an effort to protect
their hearts.
