Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy

The course of true love doesn't run smoothly for two people who've known each other forever. Getting to know your husband is trickier than 'loving Thy neighbor' from across the fence.

The emotions run hot as a Texas summer, their love runs across everyday acts (a lesson we should learn for real life). But how can such an organic love go awry? Easy... Watch these two lovers Texas two step all over their relationship. Learn from Cam how three simple words need saying, often.

This book is clearly evocative of normal and paints what I hope is not a vanishing lifestyle. I want to move in next door.

This is a thinking reader's romance.

A beautiful romance novel!

I fell into the story from the very beginning. It's an absolutely charming blend of realism and romance. And despite the Happily Ever After ending, I was sad that it had to come to an end!! Can't wait for the nxt installment from Bitterpill, TX!

A Battle for the Hearts

This is the second book by Barbara Catlin that I have read or listened to and I absolutely love her style and the dead-on portrayal of small-town life. Her characters are well-developed and realistic and her banter and humor spot-on.I'm a sucker for single dads and if they are cowboys too, I'm a goner. Cameron has been doing double duty as parent and rancher since his wife up and left him years ago. A man has needs and no one in the lonely hearts ads quite seems to strike him as someone who will stay long term. When his neighbor/friend Terra Lee come with a proposition to buy her ranch, which he isn't in a position to do at the time, he comes up with an alternate idea: a marriage of convenience but a real marriage in every way, except for the love part.
Terra Lee has been in love with Cameron nearly all her life, but it's getting her nowhere. Realizing she can no longer keep her struggling ranch afloat, she's ready to pack up and leave Bitterpill. Cam's offer surprises her but when she accepts his proposal, she sees what a truly good man Cameron Stoner is and vows to be the best wife she can be. However, while life should be golden, each has concerns that the other isn't all-in in the relationship. Add in three kids, a nasty ex-wife, an ill-timed illness, meddling friends, and more insecurity and miscommunication than two people should have to deal with and you have a delightfully written romance. Cameron is a swoon worthy cowboy, but having been burned by a woman who wanted to be anything but a rancher's wife, he's naturally insecure and refuses to have his heart broken again. While Terra constantly compares herself to the ex-wife and sees herself falling short, but is willing to fight to win the heart of her husband.
Jim Cooper's narration brings Ms. Catlin's characters to life. His smooth voice and sexy timbre makes him the perfect narrator for this story. His voice pulls the listener into the story and keeps you there. I am anxious to read more by this author.
