Review:
I received this book from the
author in exchange of an honest review.
Tired of making bad decision,
travel writer Kate Burke decides to go back to the ranch where she once worked
as a teenager to reorganize her life. Her plan seems to be going the way it
should until she meets Shane, the ranch foreman. The attraction between them is
immediately and they’ll both have to learn to deal with it despite the fact
they don’t exactly want to.
Kate is the main character in
the book and she’s definitely a good one. She’s strong and fun and I was able
to understand her.
I really liked Shane as well.
He may seem a little rough around the edges but he has a great sense of humor
and is just great.
Shane and Kate agree to sleep
with each other just once in order to get over their mutual attraction. Of
course just once turned out to be much more than just once and I loved the fact
Shane kept seeking Kate and ‘tricking’ her into going somewhere private with
him.
The chemistry between Shane
and Kate was great and made their relationship believable.
I also liked the secondary
characters in this book and they definitely bring something to the story with
their own dramas and adventures.
All in all, I really enjoyed
Just Once and was glad I had the chance to read this book. The story is fun and
well-written and I really liked the characters.
If you like a good
contemporary romance you should definitely give this book a try!
