Truly under the stars, the gala begins on the Rose Lawn in front of the Emerald Ballroom at the Esmeralda Renaissance Hotel and Spa at pm with chilled cocktails served among caressing breezes, an elegant sit-down dinner on a velvet carpet of sweet scented grass, accompanied by a musical program and soloists led by director Victoria Kirsch. Fanfare at its most magical! The path to happy ever after, which is the right of every couple in the romance genre, requires learning to cope with that change.
All three are softly, swooningly romantic in traditional ways, but the modern and even feminist flourishes are clear too. The men may wear cowboy hats and work boots, but not a single one strictly embodies the traditional alpha male archetype. The women know how to lead, and the men know how to nurture. In The Cowboy Says I Do , Dylann Crush explores the seamier side of small-town life, demonstrating that not all traditions are good, and sometimes you have to break with the past to secure a better future.
In Idont, Texas, corruption has been the custom for a very long time, and prospects are looking grim. The newly elected mayor, Lacey Cherish, is digging her way out from under the public embarrassment her father, the disgraced former mayor, created, and a major employer has just shut its doors. With that setup, Crush effectively anchors the story in several familiar tropes that work well together.
Lacey and Bodie's connection is undeniable, but so too are their conflicts, and it all makes for excellent banter. What distinguishes this book the most, however, is its unexpected intrigue.
This creates a tug of war as Bodie is torn between his professional responsibilities, his burgeoning attraction to Lacey and family loyalty. As the deputy sheriff, Bodie must break from the way the good old boys in his family have used their stature and family name to skirt the law.
There are no real cowboys in this story, just a well-crafted cocktail of romantic comedy and suspense in a struggling Texas town. In this second-chance romance, a bush pilot returns to his isolated Alaskan hometown for the first time in 13 years after the death of his closest friend. The Wests have effectively owned the town for generations, and in the years since, Cal returned multiple times, while Silas intentionally stayed away.
For Si, good memories were overshadowed by familial loss and unrequited love. But when Cal dies, he leaves Silas and their business partners both ownership of and responsibility for stewardship of the town. Thirteen years of absence means 13 years of simmering resentment and loneliness.
