Jed Jones appeared in the sleepy town of Sweetcream, Texas, with a notarized will of his grandfather’s. The Lazy Jazy was named for Carrie’s grandfather, Jedediah Smith, and Zachariah Jones, Jed’s grandfather, who were partners in the ranch years before. When Judge Jacobson and the sheriff authenticated his copy of the will and, because Carrie could not find her copy, it was deemed that the wedding must take place before midnight of that day or the ranch would become the property of an orphanage.

The Smith/Jones nuptials were spoken, but there was no love on either side. Their only endearing quality was their loving desire for the Lazy Jazy Ranch on Butter Creek. Much speculation arose, but the town’s folk came en masse for the wedding. That was nothing compared to the day Jed’s grandmother came to town making demands herself.

This is a good book with good execution. The characters were varied and likeable. The book is fun and I recommend it to all. The sensual scenes are well written and interesting but not explicit. It’s a quick read that will prove to the reader to be worthwhile.
