Book Review- (Fool's Gold series Book 8)- Horse whisperer Shane Stryker is done with passion. This time around, he's determined to meet someone who will be content with the quiet life of a rancher's wife. And the fiery, pint-size redhead who dazzles him at the local bar definitely does not fit the bill.
Small-town librarian Annabelle Weiss has always seen herself as more of a sweetheart than a siren, so she can't understand why Shane keeps pushing her away. Shane has formed the totally wrong impression of her but only he can help her with a special event for the next Fool's Gold festival. And maybe while he's at it, she can convince him to teach her a few things about kissing on hot summer nights, too—some lessons, a girl shouldn't learn from reading a book! AMAZON
I liked this story; it was pretty good. Both Shane and Annabelle were such great people, you just wanted to have them have a HEA. Of course there are plenty of misunderstandings guaranteed to hear things up. Some of the writing is humorous of course. Like when Annabelle referred to her relationship with growing plants..she had the "black thumb of death."
I loved the fact that Annabelle wasn't going to settle for less than the best when it came to relationships. She's already been through the gauntlet of never being enough others, either not wanting her or trying to change who she is. She wants a man who will adore her; adore her like Khatar does. The romance part of the story was good. It was rocky at times which made it interesting. Half the time they get along really good and then Shane opens his mouth and puts his foot in it.
One other thing was, when a problem came up she dealt with what she could and the rest was in her words, "Problems for another day."
It was fun to watch goodhearted Shane who had his agenda of what he needed to get done. His agenda meets Fool's Gold and he gets sucked in to what they need and finds out in the long run-he likes it.

The animals at the ranch are so part of this story that I would even call them good secondary characters. Khatar (the horse) was one of those interesting characters. And the pony, Reno? That whole adventure made me smile, since Shane hated ponies. We also got to get a closer look at Priscilla the elephant and what she needs. Shane's mom was something else and she was unique to say the least. Smile worthy!
