Cole Wainwright has long been fascinated by the sister
who's always stood out from the crowd. His relationship with Amelia, the eldest
Crockett sister, isn't as perfect as it seems, and with Harper back in town, he
sees everything he's been missing. Cole knows they have no future together—he's
tied to the land and she's created a successful life in the big city—but
neither of them can escape their growing attraction or inconvenient feelings.
As Harper struggles to come to grips with new family
responsibilities and her forbidden feelings for Cole, she must decide whether
to listen to her head or to give her heart what it wants.
So I
have read Liz Selvig books before and I have always enjoyed them, but I hadn’t
read any of the Seven Brides for Seven Cowboys series, but I was eager to get
started.
So
this story gets a little confusing, so stay with me. Harper Crockett is one of
six sisters, all left their family ranch to get away from their over bearing
father. But now they are all back for his funeral, and some issues that their
parents have kept from them, has now suddenly been thrust into the spotlight…their
ranch is going bankrupt. And while that seems a big deal in itself, Harper is
also struggling with her feeling for her father and his constant disappointment
in her being an artist…but that is not all that is happening. You see Harper
has always had a crush on the neighbor boy Cole. But Cole chose her sister over
her when they were back in High School and she is not willing to put her heart
out their again.
Cole
has been working at the Paradise Ranch on and off for the past 3 years, he was
doing it to find a way to earn money to buy his family ranch back. But that is
not all that as attracted him, his old interest in Harper has swooped back in
as fast as she has. But Cole already has two strikes against him; one is by dating
her sister in high school. And strike two, is working part time for the oil
industry (who are trying to buy rights for Harpers family land). But the key
is, will Harper push that aside to be with him, or will she keep throwing up
walls.
OK, so
honestly that is only a small part about what goes on in this book! But I would
be here all day if I do and I would also completely spoil the story for you.
The story is fantastic, even if it did overwhelm me at times, with just how
much information they give you. But I am sure that if I read the series from
the beginning, it wouldn’t be that overwhelming. I found the writing smooth and
the story VERY detailed, but overall very enjoyable. So for that reason, I have
decided to give The Bride Wore Denim a very well deserved 8 out of 10!
