Witty romance about men versus guys

What I first liked about this novel is that it's written in the first person, which gives you more sympathy for the main character, a put-upon social worker named Danielle Hemstead. She's caring for her invalid father and dealing with three brothers who care more about tractor parts and calf roping than they do about people--or so it seems. She's immediately introduced to James (aka Jigs), a handsome and rugged man who likes Schubert and poetry and can also ride a bucking bronc. Danielle is afraid that she'll end up with a guy (like her brothers): in her head, someone who trips over dirty laundry and doesn't know how to run a dishwasher instead of a man, someone who reads poetry and understands how to make a good cappuchino. She wants to leave Preston, the small town she's lived in for the big city and a job with an adoption agency. But James and her brothers, not to mention her best friend Tracy, have other ideas in mind for her. Danielle is an appealing and funny heroine. She is absolutely real, and seeing her finally stand up for herself is great. James is equal parts tough guy and softie, as he aids his sister, Robin, and her new baby. Danielle's brothers initially come across as literary versions of the Dukes of Hazzard but eventually show their more humane side as well.
