Straight from the Heart (Harper Monogram)

Rating:
Summary: Just as good as the movie
Review: I'll admit, I'm one of those people that see the movie first, then read the book. Although this book was published in 1996, the movie adaptation was not made until 2003, shown on the Hallmark Channel. It starred Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy in the lead roles. I have always been a true romantic at heart and ever since I saw the movie last month I've wanted to read the book. Finding such an old book was hard but I am thoroughly glad I did. Zoey is a strong career-minded woman who wants to get married and have a family. Her reluctant boyfriend challenges her into answering an ad for rural single men. She ends up on a plane to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and meets Tyler Ross, a rancher who is not all that thrilled at meeting any female, let alone one from New York City. He has his own inner demons he's dealing with. Zoey is not thrilled either, but the beauty of the land keeps her there along with free roaming mustang horses. There are a few bumpy roads but once you finish reading this book you'll believe the sometimes life doesn't always turn out the way you planned and love can happen more than once in a lifetime.
