The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story by Ree Drummond

3.0

3.5 stars
I love the Pioneer Woman's pie crust, chicken pot pie, pizza dough, sangria and other recipes. I love her cookbook that reads like a book complete with pictures and wit. Ree Drummond is a warm and engaging person and so when she released a book about her love story with the aptly named Marlboro Man I knew I would want to read it, if for no other reason than to learn more about how she became so entwined with a cowboy and life on a ranch.
Chronicling her love story with the Marlboro Man, Ree Drummond writes her story in novel form rather than a typical biography form. So at times you almost forget that you are reading a non-fiction story rather than fiction. Meeting him in a bar on her way to live in a big city Ree had her whole world and life plans turned around for the love of this cowboy. With his cowboy ways he convinced her to stay in Oklahoma. Their story is sweet and fiery, almost a little unbelievable really. But it is heartwarming.
It was a pretty good story and Ree has a warm style - much like her food. I don't regret the time I spent reading it.
