There was some steam on the ranch!  Would love to learn about what happened between her two books - how she became The Pioneer Woman.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was romantic, and even better that it was a true story. I wouldn't have wanted the whole world to read intimate details about my courtship and marriage but... I hope she writes a sequel about their first few years of marriage.

I am a huge fan of Ree Drummond. If I see her cooking show on Food Network I'll watch it even if I've watched it a thousand times before. Her life - from her family and friends to living and working on a ranch is interesting and captivating. This was an absolute delight to read to see how she went from being this urban chic lady ranching. Well written and an enjoyable read.

What a wonderful true story. I would like a sequel and to find my own Marlboro Man.

What a funny, funny book. I just love Ree, and her super honest -writing. Her stories are so relatable and accessible even though our lives are so different.

I'm a huge fan of the Pioneer Woman blog and especially her writing style. If you like the blog, you will love this book.

Her "Marlboro Man" sounds too good to be true. I'm having a hard time believing this is non-fiction! lol

This story is about how Ree met and fell in love with her husband, who she calls The Marlboro Man.

She was mid twenties when they met, at a crossroads in her life. She’d gotten out of a four year relationship and decided to move back home to Oklahoma. Her next stop was going to be Chicago. But her plans changed when she met her future husband.
He was unlike any man she’d ever met before. He was a cowboy. She was a girl who grew up in a house on a golf course, not living far from him but living a completely different life. Her life involved country clubs.

I can see why she fell in love with this guy. He seems like a kind, loving gentleman to me. He cared about her feelings and things like whether she made it home ok. I’m not the only one who will say that she got on my nerves. I think she was possibly a bit spoiled by her parents and grew out of it but hadn’t yet done that when she met this guy.

I was interested in the book because I like her cookbooks and wanted to know this story about her life. But what happened was that I came away thinking I could see why she changed her plans to marry the cowboy.

I got an ebook copy of this book from Book Club Girl and was sent the copy through NetGalley. Thanks!
