Book Description:
"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 that convinces him 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?"

While this wasn't my favorite of the "Fool's Gold series, it wasn't a bad read. A bit formulaic, but then what romance really isn't?
This wasn't really a relationship based book-it was more of a personality 'flaw' based story. Zane is the hero and his flaw is that he can't seem to forgive and nobody can seem to live up to his standards. But of course he is hiding a bit of a secret.
Phoebe on the other hand, if I didn't know that she was supposed to be 27, I would have pegged her to be 18 or 19...her problem is her ultra huge heart and the fact that she talks to inanimate objects and animals - this was cute and quirky... for a while. She isn't hiding a single thing, she just lays everything out on the table and has no filter for either her brain or her mouth!
There is huge sexual tension that doesn't get... uhm...relieved until the last quarter of the book. Quite hot!
The idea of the cattle drive was a good one and it does drive the story, having a disaster happen (or near disaster) was expected.
Having this couple fall so deeply in love that they would get married in only a week is what made this a fairly implausible tale for me. Then again it IS fiction. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
