Wrangler's Lady

ISBN 037382274x - Cute; better than the average romance novel, which makes it good, but not great. And, in my quest for really bad lines in romance novels, Wrangler's Lady gives us "His warmth drew her as a magnet did iron filings." Iron filings? Where did that come from?? Spoiled rich boys Chance, Cash and Rush Saxon (whose parents had exceedingly boring names, which might explain how they named their children) are informed, when their grandfather dies, that they are nearly penniless. The family fortune has dried up and all that remains are three failing businesses in three separate states. Each takes a business and the men set out to see what they can do to rebuild the Saxon empire - or least earn an honest living, for the first time in their lives. Chance gets the ranch in Montana. His first problem is the state of the business, his second is his foreman - Cleo, a woman. His response to a female running a ranch takes a back seat, however, to his response to this female in particular. Cleo, single mother of Rosie, doesn't trust men and doesn't want to turn into Chance's mistress, so she does her best to keep her distance. It isn't easy, though, because she finds him every bit as attractive as he finds her. Of course, it's a romance novel - they end up together, one happy family. The only surprise was that Rosie's father never did appear to stake a claim, but it was a pleasant surprise! As for future surprises, I don't know if I'll ever read the stories of Cash and Rush, but I'd be shocked if the whole "near penniless" thing wasn't a ploy by their grandfather to turn his grandsons into more than playboys. I haven't read the phrase "monthly visitor" in any book written after 1970, so that was a little weird, especially in a genre that doesn't shy away from sexual topics. There was one bad edit, a record for the romance novels I've read, with the word "somethin'" breaking at the end of a line as "so-methin'", so high praise to Silhouette's editor on this one. Romance isn't my thing, but Jackie Merritt/Carolyn Joyner is one author I wouldn't mind reading more from.
