Desiree Jenkins is a famous actress shooting her latest film on location at Logan McCormack's ranch in Hope, Oklahoma. They come from different worlds but she's wildly attracted to this loner. Her honesty and directness hooks him but Logan keeps holding back, emotionally crippled by his parents' failed relationship.
Desiree is a pretty wonderful character who's smart, talented and unafraid to speak her mind when it matters. Logan has forged a lonely, solitary existence that's disrupted when Desiree forces her way in. It changes him but also makes him fearful he'll end up in the same misery as his parents.
Logan McCormack isn't the kind of man to be starstruck. However, when he rents out his farm property for a couple of months so that a Hollywood movie can be made, he doesn't ever expect to be taken by the lead actress, Desiree Jenkins.
I liked how the casual relationship started but nothing stays casual cause feelings always comes into play.

Oh, and their self-proclaimed "casual" relationship was scorching on so many levels.
I enjoyed this story, especially Desiree (as if you couldn't tell), in spite of really disliking Logan for about half the book. No matter because his behavior was true to his character and circumstances, which is important. There's also a secondary storyline involving her co-star that was interesting and relevant. It could have been explored in more depth but I appreciated its inclusion.
There's something about this series that I find satisfying. Maybe it's the dynamics of small town community and characters of substance. Whatever it may be, the stories are appealing and I'm hooked. This one worked for me.

I loved the flow of this story and I loved how Design and Logan's relationship developed. Although, there was a time or two when I would have liked to spake Logan.
In the end, Logan realized that he had made a mistake and then he went to make it right.

Quaint yet cliche
The love story was cute. And Logan and Des together were a good fit. But, honestly, the sex became boring to read. I would have preferred seeing their relationship bloom instead of the we are great together in bed so it means we are meant for each other outside of it.

I have a small girl crush on Des. She was awesome. She was upfront and honest. She wasn't afraid to put herself out there. She didn't play games or cause drama. Even when Logan was acting the ass she called him on it then walked away, no hysterics, no drama. She felt a bit unsettled about what she wanted for her future, but she was confident in herself and not afraid to work for what she wanted.
Logan acted the ass for most of the book. He wanted Des, but didn't want to want her. He let his mother's actions dictate how he lived his life, which didn't make a lot of sense considering the strong, confident man he was. His saving grace was how quick he was to apologize once he was called on his behavior. He might have needed a cooling down period, but when he sad sorry he meant it. It was too bad he spent so much time needing to apologize.
Their chemistry was great both in the bedroom and out of it. They connected on more than one level, which made their romance believable.
I really enjoyed the snippets of ranching life and life on the set of the movie. Both were well done.
Hope is a town I want to return to again again.

Out of the first two books, I liked this one a lot better. The ending was equal, with both partners willing to make concessions for each other. Burton is an uneven author for me, but these are the types of books that make me keep reading.
Logan McCormack can't turn down the money that a movie company offers for use of his land. He's got enough of it, it's not like he'll even know that they're there. But then he meets Desieree Jenkins... and his opinion changes.
Des is a major motion picture star. But she is also down-to-earth. Which is what attracts Logan to her. But can it keep them together?

He's a dick, she's a moron.
Didn't like this... thought it was shallow to the nth degree.
Can't even be bothered to say any more than that.
