BOOK SYNOPSIS:
New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery creates the small-town destination for romance in charming Fool’s Gold, California—where a loner cowboy finds the one woman who can capture his heart…
After Phoebe Kitzke’s kind heart gets her suspended from her job in LA, she swears off doing favors—until her best friend begs for help on the family ranch in Fool’s Gold. Unfortunately, sexy cowboy Zane Nicholson isn’t exactly thrilled by the city girl’s arrival.
Thanks to his brother’s latest scheme, Zane has been roped into taking tourists on a cattle drive. What Phoebe knows about ranching wouldn’t fill his hat, but her laughter is so captivating that even his animals fall for her. One slip of his legendary control leads to a passionate kiss, but she’s exactly the kind of woman a single-minded loner needs to avoid.
In his arms, Phoebe discovers she’s a country girl at heart. Yet no matter how much the small town feels like home, she can’t stay unless Zane loves her, too…but is this cowboy interested in forever?
REVIEW:
Fool’s Gold is one of my favorite fictional places to see… I mean read about. I can’t wait to go visit every time a new book comes out. I enjoyed this book but it really was a bit different than most Fool’s Gold books.
Let me say that Phoebe is a hoot. Yes I said a hoot… the story is about cowboys after all. Phoebe is odd and sweet and maybe close to certifiable but all in all she is a great character. Zane well he takes some getting used to. I didn’t fall for him like I usually do with the men of Fool’s Gold and to be honest I think it was because this really didn’t feel like a Fool’s Gold story to me. There were a few reasons it doesn’t feel like Fool’s Gold. First we never actually set foot in Fool’s Gold. Second we only had a couple of cameos from residents in Fool’s Gold (I mean really Mayor Marsha only had like 2 whole lines). And finally this story was about a bunch of strangers. Yes the crazy two-some (Eddie & Gladys) were there but even they didn’t have the humor they normally have.
Now all that being said I enjoyed the story. It was a great romance and the couple was perfect together. I loved how Phoebe talks to the animals and Manny is so adorable. And I love that she brings out the softer side of Zane. The background story of the kids is really touching as well.
Susan Mallery never disappoints and I can’t wait for my next adventure when a movie star comes to Fool’s Gold. Roll out the red carpet!
