(More customer reviews)A month before Andrea Jacobs is going to visit someone special she wants to be trained on how to ride a horse like a cowboy.
She calls from New York City to the Lazy L Dude & Cattle Ranch to request private riding instructions and is willing to pay an enormous amount of money to do so.
Her riding instructor is none other than Hank Ledbetter part owner of the ranch and confirmed bachelor.Spoilers & Review-Read Ahead ONLY
if you don't mind knowing more about the book story!
I normally love the books written by Judy Christenberry. She usually has a lot of humor and her characters are likeable even when they do not get along with each other.
First, I must admit I am highly disappointed in this book.
The characters of Hank Ledbetter and Andrea Jacobs are not those likeable characters.
When Hank picks up Andrea at the airport he is rude to her. To the point of being hateful and unprofessional.
If I paid good money and anyone acted like that to me I would be filing a complaint about it.
He snaps at her, does not tell her his name, THEN he actually orders her food when they stopped to eat at a restaurant after having picked her up at the airport. He openly criticizes her to his sister and brother in law when they arrive at the ranch. What did she do wrong? She fell asleep on the drive to the ranch.
During the book all he does is insult her privately and publicly. One time he throws a fit because she stopped to say hello to one of the ranch workers. He yelled at her (the customer) in front of the ranch hand.
Andrea's character, was not quite as bad as Hank's. I just found her to not be that well developed. The special person she was seeing was her father. Her mother had left her father and Andrea had not seen her father for 22 years. Her mother was not that caring of a mother but Andrea decided to not try and contact her father until that year. Her mother had kept Andrea from him just to be spiteful.
Her father happened to be Hank's best friend and a devoted family man.
I wish I could say to go out and buy this book but I can't. It is not her best book and I still did not like the character of Hank Ledbetter after finishing the book.

A cowboy for all seasons? Hank Ledbetter\'s bachelor status was legendary. And with every member of his family finding true love, Hank was the only singleton on the Lazy L cattle ranch. Then city girl Andrea Jacobs arrived for the Christmas holidays\' Andrea brought a secret with her – but then made no secret of the fact that she was attracted to the strong, sexy cowboy. Would she end up with a husband in her Christmas stocking?
