Being wrong for each other never felt so right.
A thriving ranch to call his own, heart-stopping good
looks, beautiful women to the edge of Texas and back...Cooper Kendall has
everything a guy could want. But what he wants most is the one thing he can't
have: a chance to prove to Lila Novak he's a changed man.
The memory of the night she spent with Cooper still
simmers in the back of Lila's mind—especially now that her sister is marrying
his brother. Still, there's no way Lila can fool herself into thinking their
scorcher of a one-night stand could ever be anything more to Cooper. What would
the former high school hotshot want with the class nerd anyway?
Now, with the newlyweds away on their honeymoon, Cooper
and Lila are officially on babysitting duty in Lone Star Ridge...under one
roof, for three whole days. And when they're faced with a family crisis, their
long-buried feelings boil over—until they can't ignore them any longer. Will
who they were in the past stand in the way of starting a new future together?
Fun little story. Cooper and Lila have a little bit of
history between them. Neither one can forget the night they spent together, and
the sparks between them still burn two years later. With her sister marrying
his brother, they'll be spending more time together, starting now. Cooper and
Lila volunteered to watch their teenage niece and nephew while their parents are
on their honeymoon.
Cooper's reputation as a womanizer works against him. At
thirty-four, he's tired of that life and ready to move on. And the one he wants
to move on with is Lila. Unfortunately, trying to convince her that he's
changed is an uphill battle. It doesn't help that his latest ex refuses to let
go. Lila can't deny the attraction between them but doesn't want to be one more
in a long line.
Babysitting duty starts easy as both Noah and Sophie
leave to visit friends. Cooper takes the chance to begin his campaign to change
Lila's mind when they are interrupted by a call from the sheriff. Noah has
pulled a stupid teenager trick, and Cooper and Lila have to deal with it. I
liked how they handled it, though Cooper's campaign now needs to be modified. It
doesn't take long to get Lila on the same page.
The story was short without much chance for development,
but I thought it did pretty well. Cooper and Lila know each other well enough
that the rapid progression of their relationship is believable. The teenagers
were a nice touch with likely teenage attitudes. I enjoyed the scenes with the
ex, who was obnoxious without being over-the-top. The lasagna scene was fun.
