COULDN'T BELIEVE HER ---
Rating:
5 / 5
Clementine Barlow is a very loving, giving gal.
At 36 with a failed marriage and being left at the altar she knows the pain of rejection.
She hates to be the bearer of a "Dear John" note from her sister, Claudia to Evan Tanner.Evan Tanner. at 42, wants his land back. His father lost it to the Barlows. Yet he would have been good to Claudia and her two sons. Clemmie looks for answers and directions from all kinds of magazine questionaires. Claudia is sensible and quiet and Clementine is energetic and determined to work at Tanner's side.
She understands that Tanner [according to the questionaires] is cold and withdrawn because of his sexual dysfunction [Boy is she loopy] Clementine is determined to heal Tanner. She is now his partner in the ranch operation and her idea of "roughing it" is to pretty up everything and add conveniences to the hotel/saloon building. And she especially wants to get rid of the hussy, "Matilda". She thinks "Matilda" is damaging to Tanner's psyche. It isn't hard to find the humor behind this story but Clementine [to me] is a very confused gal on some realities of life and yet she does make a difference in Tanner's and Brent's lives. With all the hanky-pankying going on though - somewhere along the line I missed the ultimate. Did she or did she not get pregnant? Ah well, will definitely recommend as an enjoyable read -- you decide if it is a keeper or not.
