xalrynne 's review for:
The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story
by Ree Drummond
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
Thanks go out to my mom for recommending this book to me when I mentioned to her that I was looking for a story with a clean romance. This book has the swooniest romance I have ever read! The love interest is the epitome of the perfect man. He is chivalrous and a true gentleman.
I didn’t know hardly anything about Ree Drummond, a.k.a. the Pioneer Woman, before reading this book, other than that she writes cookbooks. I have never read her cookbooks or her magazine or her blog, nor have I seen her show, yet I still loved learning all about the love story of how she met and dated and then married her husband. It was seriously the cutest romance ever. And because it wasn’t fiction, there was no third-act breakup scene! Thank goodness.
This book was so wholesome and made me feel happy and giddy. I listened to the audiobook, read by Ree herself, and it was so delightful. The book reads more like someone telling you their own story rather than reading like a novel—which makes sense because that’s what it is. I’ve seen some critical reviews that say the writing style seems immature, but I didn’t feel that way and it didn’t bother me in the least. Mrs. Drummond isn’t a novelist; she’s telling her own story. I thought the way she captured her emotions and expressed her humor was perfect for this book.
Overall, I had a splendid time reading this book. I never would have read it had my mom not recommended it to me, but I am so happy I did. If you, too, are looking for a clean romance story, I definitely will also recommend this book to you, and don’t let the fact that it’s nonfiction or about a person you may not know scare you away from it. All romance lovers should read this book.
