Don't you just love discovering new authors? It is even better when you absolutely love the book and you know you will be meeting them soon. And this is just the case here :)
Blurb:
Alyssa Jefferson is ready to start her veterinary internship at the Rockin' K ranch, in the beautiful Colorado Rockies, where she will be assisting with the births of over three hundred pregnant cows. It’s a dream come true, and she’s so excited the joy is oozing from her. As icing on the cake, it appears the brothers that own the ranch are sexy as can be. A few months with some eye candy, is just what the doctor ordered.
Beau Kipling sees the sweet young thing coming for her riding lesson, and feels a kick to his gut. What is this hot young woman doing dating a man old enough to be her father? He’s so ticked off, he can’t stop himself from being an ass to her. He’s never, in his whole life, felt the instant attraction he feels for this female, and she’s some old guys arm candy.
When the truth is revealed, that Alyssa is his intern for the spring, and not the sheriff’s new girlfriend, Beau knows he’s blown it. And he can’t even explain why he was so mean. No woman wants to hear a guy thought she was a gold digger. Now they must work together all spring. Can he convince her to give him a second chance?

The Review: 5 Stars
Who knew I would fall in love with cowboy romances this year? It has been a wonderful journey and I am glad to add Shirley Penick's books to my list of beloved books. She is a great writer.
The writing was spectacular, from grammar to the way the story flowed. It had a smooth and steady pace, a comfortable and somewhat fast read that will touch you, make you laugh, and make you swoon.
Alyssa is as beautiful as she is intelligent. To bad for Beau he confused her with someone else when they met and their relationship didn't start in the best way.
Beau similarly is very intelligent and dedicated to his family and what he does.
His family, from bothers to his grandpa were all a pleasure to get to know. I haven't checked, but I really hope the next books focuses on his brothers.
Even though Beau and Alyssa pretty much fell in love at first sight (or at least Beau did) their relationship built up slowly. I rather appreciated they got to know each other before anything actually happened.
The book had humor, a little bit of angst, a little bit of suspense... Not enough to distract from the romance but enough to make the story wholesome.
Can't recommend this enough.
