Tired of never being able to live up to her wealthy rancher father's—or the town's—expectations, Sadie Hollowell leaves tiny Lovett, TX, heads west, and carves out a footloose, happily single life selling real estate. Fifteen years later, still blissfully rootless and unwed, she returns home—for just a few days—to be in her cousin's wedding. When her father is seriously injured, she ends up staying longer and connecting with hunky ex-Navy SEAL Vince Haven. Vince is in Lovett to take over his aunt's Gas and Go, but this "no strings" arrangement with Sadie surprises them both when it moves beyond "friends with benefits" into something much more.
VERDICT Sizzling sex, dialog peppered with plenty of Texas slang, a setting overflowing with country flavor, and a pair of appealing, emotionally scarred protagonists combine in a big-hearted, touching, and hilarious story you won't be able to put down. RITA Award winner Gibson (Any Man of Mine) is an icon in the romantic comedy arena; she lives in Idaho.
