A three day trip was scheduled in the Rocky Mountains with Jack as guide, Carol and three other men. When Carol first sees Jack she wants to kiss him all over. He's SO sexy. Jack and Carol had immediate chemistry and also mutual stubbornness. Carol was new to being with horses and being in the woods. That led to some comedy and a few complications. Carol realized during the trip that she wanted to share her life with someone and that someone was Jack.

When the trip was over the three men left that same night. Carol's flight wasn't until the next morning so she, Jack and Jill went out for the evening to Uncle Joe's, a local backwoods bar with a dance floor and some pool tables. After spending the evening together talking, dancing and laughing, it was quite obvious to Jack and Carol that they were falling in love.

Jack and Carol are both strong-willed and the exchanges between the two of them are very entertaining. The underlying stories of Jack's sister Jill who worked with him, the old ranch foreman Mac who was amused by Jack and Carol's chemistry, and the older man on the trip, Tom, to whom Carol felt a fatherly relationship, were also well-developed and interesting characters. This is a fun read with a wonderfully surprising ending.
