Can't Buy Me Love by Molly O'Keefe

3.0

Tara Jean knew she was playing a role, pretending to be the fiance of an aging rancher, but she still cared for Lyle and wanted to help him find peace before his passing. She knew that when Lyle's kids finally came home there would be anger and tension. What she didn't expect was to fall for Lyle's son, Luc. Luc promised himself he would never be back on the ranch, growing up had been a personal hell, but he cannot let Tara Jean take advantage of his father. What he finds is definitely not what he was expecting, especially since Tara Jean is a lot more down to earth and less gold digger. With no plans to stay he knows he can't fall for her but can't help himself. When Tara Jean's past threatens her future will Luc help her overcome? Sweet story but I had a hard time falling for the main characters. There was a lot of anger and tension between everyone, including the secondary characters, that there did not seem to be a lot of happy in this HEA. I'm intrigued for where the series can go, there's a lot of potential.
