Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-14 00:00:00 Prashanth Santhekadur Jacquie, the heroine, is kinda dumb. She's sweet and kind but really really dumb. She's this rich sheltered 21 year old who decides to drop out of college and drive from her home in Texas to California all by herself. Didn't this girl ever see the first Friday the 13th movie? She obviously isn't scared of being hijacked, robbed or raped. But I digress... The crux of the story deals with Jacquie's unfortunate car accident in Tombstone Arizona. The H is the other guy in the car accident and he is NOT impressed by Jacquie's smoldering youthful sex appeal and good looks. Poor Jacquie doesn't know how to cope with a male who isn't smitten and adoring of her all her blonde perfection so she is miffed and sulky. However, she is entranced by the cute little kid who was with the H. The H's name is Choya ( it's supposed to be taken from the name of the cholla cactus; the H had been abandoned as a baby and his adopted dad found him near to the cactus so he named him after it ). Choya is a widower and the cute little kid is his son, Robbie. Choya has the major HOTS for Jacquie but he is prejudiced against girls who look like walking fashion ads because he thinks they're fickle and silly. Jacquie has no money to get her car fixed and ends up having to take a job as a housekeeper for Choya. This part made me laugh so hard because Jacquie can't cook or clean to save her life but she tries because Choya paid for the repairs on her car and so she owes him. Robbie becomes enchanted with Jacquie because she's so beautiful and she treats him very well, so he wants her to be his new mother. He develops a cute little boy crush on her and he is so adorable. Choya blames Jacquie for this and he doesn't want Robbie to get attached to the heroine because the child will be heartbroken when she eventually has to leave. As time passes both Robbie and Choya develop feelings for Jacquie. Robbie soon starts telling his little friends that Jacquie is going to be his mom. Choya is mad at that and he thinks Jacquie is scheming to use his son in an effort to gain herself a rich husband. Choya's manly lust soon overcomes him and he starts pressing for Jacquie to sleep with him and be his mistress. Jacquie might be kinda dumb and silly but she still has old fashioned moral values so she tries to fight her own sexual desire for the hunky Choya. The H's first marriage had not been one filled with grand passion but more of a comfortable type of love since he had known his late wife all his life. He had also been comfortable with his late wife because she had been a pretty tomboysish type who loved working with horses and was very happy with ranch life. He is afraid that someone as glamorous as Jacquie will neither fit into his world nor be happy being a rancher's wife. It was an understandable assumption on his part because Jacquie did come across as a bit too glamorous but she really had loving feelings for Choya and would have been ecstatic had be proposed to her and told her he loved her. Eventually their conflict develops into an impasse of sorts and Jacquie leaves to return to Texas. I guess Jacquie's California dreams died after the huge dose of heartbreak she suffered after leaving Choya and Robbie. My heart really broke for poor Robbie because he really loved her and she really loved him as if he were her own son ( even though she's kinda too young to his mom ). But the bond between Robbie and Jacquie made me appreciate that the heroine was a lot more than just a silly, glamorous young woman. She really cried when she had to leave Robbie. The MC's are separated for a couple months until Choya gets his head out of his ass and finally decides that love is more important than male pride. He goes to Texas, does the gentlemanly thing by asking her dad for her hand in marriage and he tells her how much he loves her. Jacquie finally gets her heart's desire and is thrilled to be marrying Choya, moving to Tombstone to live, being a stepmom to little Robbie and having kids of her own. I have to say after re-reading some of Janet Dailey's novels, that her grumpy sexy H's are kinda growing on me a bit...
