Series: Spikes and Spurs (Book 4)
He'll do whatever it takes to get ownership of that
ranch...
When our lawyer went over Gramps's will and told me that
my ranch would be signed over to my no-'count cousin Cole unless I got married,
I was in despair. I had a week left to get married and not even a girlfriend to
propose to.
And then there's the woman he loves...
When I told Ace I'd marry him, it was just to help out an
old friend. He'd have a marriage license to show his lawyer, and the time would
pass the same for me whether I was married or not. What happens in Vegas stays
in Vegas, right? Right—unless your secret wedding is filmed and shared with the
entire world.
Very good book. I
love this series with its hot cowboys and spunky women. Ace discovered that, due to an unknown clause
in his grandfather's will, he had to be married within two weeks or lose his
ranch to an unpleasant cousin. He's had
no intention of settling down and hasn't been dating anyone he'd be willing to
marry. Then his best friend Jasmine offers
to marry him. They plan to marry quietly
and continue their lives as before. Then
their wedding ends up on the news, and everyone in town knows about it. Thanks to their first kiss at the wedding
chapel, they no longer think of each other as just friends.
The sparks between them are intense, and they don't quite
know what to do about it. They had
intended to stay married for a year, then divorce and remain friends. Now all they can think about is the next time
they can give in to their passion.
Jasmine's mother is ticked that Jasmine didn't have a "real"
wedding and is planning a blowout neither of them wants, and Jasmine can't tell
her no. Suddenly her folks are talking
about buying Jasmine's cafe and running it themselves so she can have
babies. Ace and Jasmine are confused and
trying to figure out what happened to their plan.
I loved how Ace and Jasmine were friends for a long time
before they fell in love. This made the
initial decision very easy for them but threw them for a loop when they
suddenly discovered that friendship wasn't enough anymore. I loved their mental conversations, trying to
talk themselves out of doing what they wanted to do. I loved the other characters in the story,
some from previous books and some new.
Jasmine's mother was a steamroller, and I loved the scenes with her and
Jasmine, especially when Jasmine finally put her foot down about the
wedding. Ace was a real sweetheart, and
for all his playboy ways, I loved the way he treated Jasmine. I thought the ending was fantastic.
