heartstrings will be pulled

vlt's anthology is a great combo of stories, although bachelor father is somewhat far-fetched with the ending.

Quite funny and engaging

I gave this book a 4 star rating mainly because it was funny. The book actually contains three complete stories (and they are each about 150 pages each). The three stories are all about manly cowboys living in the midwest and are called "Manhunting in Montana," "Bachelor Father," and "Pure Temptation." The first story invloves a photographer who heads out to Montana to shoot a beefcake calendar. She ends up falling for the rancher who owns the place she visits and fun and frolick ensues. Pure Tempatation is a story of childhood friends that take friendship to the next level. I enjoyed the quick wit in both of these stories and found they ended much too soon. The only sleeper in the book is Bachelor Father - it's about a baby that results from a one night stand; I thought the chemistry in the story was really fake and the story was just really droopy. All in all it's a fun read and worth the time if you can find it.
