Amy Lyndon is tired of being the Poor Little Rich Girl of Shenandoah Falls. In her prominent family, she's the ordinary one - no Ivy League education and no powerful career. But when her father tries to marry her off, she knows it's finally time to stand up for herself, despite the consequences. Now that she's cut off from the family fortune, her first challenge is to fight her attraction to her handsome new boss.
When Amy shows up looking for work with his landscaping crew, Dusty McNeil thinks there's no way such a pampered princess will ever get her hands dirty. But as Amy proves him wrong and gets down to the nitty gritty, Dusty's admiration turns to like, then lust - and then love. But can a high-society woman like Amy ever fall for a man like him?
My thoughts:
Ha, that blurb is so not telling the truth. Amy loves spending money, she loves the easy life, but then her father throws her out and tells her to marry her boyfriend. And here the truth of the blurb comes in. Sure she is all wtf!? at first. But she does not go running to her bf cos she decided she wants love and he is not that. And she does not go running to family either. She buckles down, gets a hardworking job and tries to fix her life.
Amy was sure a spoiled princess at first, but she truly changed fast because she had no other choice. And she was angry, she was upset, proud and mostly stubborn. She would not give in, she would show them! I liked that about her. I also felt bad for her cos even her family called her stupid, so she saw herself as no good, not even pretty and not really worth much.
Dusty does not know what to do with this spoiled princess, but he grudgingly starts to appreciate her. And fall for her of course, but it takes a while, he is a player. And he has his own trouble with family.
One thing that I did not care for was the sudden appearance of a side story with her cousin, I was all, who are these people? It stole from the main story. I do not mind a side story, but it was even wrapped up in a happy ending. It could have been in the background and then there would have been a story about them instead in another book.
Conclusion;
Back to this story. It was a cute story. They fell in love. They found out what they wanted from life and lived happily ever after.

I haven't heard of this author before but this seems really cute! Thanks for putting it on my radar!
ReplyDeleteIt was a first read for me too
DeleteI love this series. I liked the first book a little more than this one but it was still amazing.
ReplyDeleteSimply Angela
I have not read that one, but I should
DeleteLove that she changes so thoroughly!!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI think that this sounds like a good read despite the side story. I am glad you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteThe side story was strange, it sure should be a book of its own
DeleteI love a heroine who doesn't sit around acting like a victim.
ReplyDeleteShe could have complained, but she really wanted to prove something
DeleteThat is a shame the secondary thread stole page time from the main tale.
ReplyDeleteIt was really strangely done
DeleteThe heroine has the qualities that I love. I'm curious about this series. Can this be read as standalone?
ReplyDeleteI did ;)
DeleteAh sounds like one I could read quite easily. LIke it when someone gets challenged and meets it.
ReplyDeleteShe really stepped up :)
Deleteyou know once I had a blurb that was really not in agreement with the book but it was the good names, just not the good story, it was weird.
ReplyDeleteI have come a cross a few, it's like why?
DeleteIt was a good happily ever after :D
ReplyDeleteI agree, don't want a side story to take over. Get your own book!! Ha.
ReplyDeleteTotes
DeleteI love the changes she went through. This sounds good!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteIt sounds like a nice read. The cover is cute!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is
DeletePast the halfway mark of the week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a charming romance, I have been eager to try this author out soon. And her covers are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI do love cute covers
DeleteI hate when blurbs are nothing like the actual story! Also, girl in a wedding dress in the back of a pickup truck? I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteWhaat? It's so cute :D
DeleteSounds cute even if the blurb is misleading.
