Review: The Rancher's Best Gift by Stella Bagwell
Book Description
An ordinary cowboy?
Or the love of a lifetime?
Matthew Waggoner and Camille Hollister may have known each other for years, but nothing prepares them for the sudden flare of attraction that hits when Camille lets Matthew stay with her while the foreman is doing out-of-town work for her family’s ranch. But with Christmas just around the corner, it’ll take a holiday miracle to make these two patched-up hearts see past their differences and risk loving again…
My review
Matthew was sent to the ranch to help with the new cows that needed to be vaccinated and tagged. He had two weeks to get everything in order and then he'd be headed back to his own home. Camille's brother who owns and runs the ranch sent Matthew there and made arrangements for the foreman to stay in the house while he's there. But Matthew has feelings for Camille so that's awkward.
Camille works as the cook in a diner and she likes her job to the point that she wants to buy the diner. When Matthew gets in late at night after a long day of ranching, Camille cooks dinner for him as well as dessert. They end up talking at night when he gets in and they find that they have a lot in common including both of them having had bad experiences with relationships.
They both feel the mutual attraction and act on it. They both figure that it's a one time thing since Matthew has to get back to his life at the end of two weeks but things don't always go as planned.
These two were really sweet and so was the romance between them. This isn't my normal type of book but I won this in a blog giveaway and decided to give it a read. I'm glad I did because it was a good read and a nice romance.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
