Ok, so first let me preface this by saying - I don't read too many romance novels. Although, this one caught my eye. It was probably with word "COWBOY" and the red boots Austin is wearing on the front cover. I turned it over to the back to read a little more, and couldn't put it back down. I did see some reviews that had been a little less than pleasurable - but I enjoyed the fact that the story had more to do with the plot than the "romantic" scenes. I'm not one who is opposed to blushing while reading a novel, but, I enjoyed the romantic gestures and build up to the actual deed. It made it a little more real-to-life to me. I did get a real craving for iced watermelon wine though (wonder what it tastes like) - and - I did also actually put my boots on to go into town one evening. It'd been a while since I had donned them.This book was a quick, fun, witty read that had me laughing out loud during most parts, and shedding a tear or two in a couple others.At this point - I am glad it was the first in this series. So now, if I get a hankering for more small-town gossip, dirt, and bulls I can read right down the line. Love Drunk CowboyBy Carolyn BrownBlurb:All Austin Lanier wants is to sell her inherited watermelon farm, slip on her stilettos and run back to corporate America. Until the drop dead sexy cowboy next door, Rye O'Donnell, decides he'll only take the farm if he can get the fiery woman who owns it as part of the deal...Review:Austin Lanier has only come looking to say goodbye to her grandmother but found out that the soil and water seeped into her heart. She’s a silk suit and stiletto girl who’s never had a beer. She begins to learn more about herself and her family as she learns how to run her grandmother’s farm. The first thing she learns is not to judge someone without meeting them. Rye isn’t the old man she thought he was. And he’s determined to worm his way into her heart. I loved that Austin enjoyed shocking her mom. Every phone call ended with my own laughter. I could see Austin’s mom getting more and more worried that she was losing her daughter. Add a dash of Grandma’s meddling from beyond the grave and you have a delightful read. The sex is sizzling when it finally comes about but the focus is on Austin’s transformation and the relationship she builds with Rye.The secondary characters will thrill you, from Molly and Greta to the O’Donnell siblings. My favorites were Austin’s mom and aunts. They sounded like high-powered women who all needed a cowboy to ride!
