When Hollywood heart-throb Cooper Lindstrom needs money to get his late mother's homicidal bookie off his back, he jumps at the lifeline Black Hills postmaster Libby McGannon tosses his way. In Cooper's mind, their arrangement is simple: his sperm in trade for a share in her family's gold mine. But the real pay off is her story--the one he plans to turn into a hit sitcom that will push him back on top.
The hit show Coop saw coming.
Love? Completely blindsided him.
And the baby? Who could have guessed Cooper wanted to be a father? Too bad Libby--the woman he's fallen hard for--might never forgive him for turning her life into a joke for worldwide consumption. Not to mention the changes he's brought to the small Black Hills community of Sentinel Pass, where happily-ever-after isn't left to chance. AMAZON 4 star.
I wasn't sure about this book at first. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that I thought (at the beginnings of the book), "Oh no, I shouldn't have got this book. Its sounding kind of juvenile." But as I kept checking it out, I found that Coop had hidden pain and hidden depths too. As that was beginning to shown more and more, I found I liked the book even more. Coop's mother really did a job on him throughout his life and she pretty much controlled more of his life than she should have. He loved her but he also resented some things about her as well. Libby was so easy to like, she was the "good girl" taking a huge risk. Its way outside her comfort zone, and she's hoping that her town will support her decisions. She was always respected and looked up to but her town was part of her extended family and she's looking for them to have her back (like always). Her book club friends were a delightful touch of reality and humor. Libby's brother, Mac and her niece, Megan and her grandmother add to the real family part of the story. And their part of the story is interesting as well.
Coop's one true friend, Shane Reynard was a mysterious person but also the touch of stability in Coop's life. He was a good reliable friend but his personal life isn't delved into too much in this book. Just some hints thrown out. He's a very talented friend and there is a short excerpt of his story added at the end of the book. It's called," Black Hills Billionaire" and it has a Prologue and Chapter 1 included. I have to say the story between Jenna Murphy (Libby's friend) and Shane has my curiosity up. That's because of all the hints sprinkled towards the end of this book.
