The Husband Tree by Mary Connealy
1.0
Cute premise, but not particularly intriguing or interesting. Connealy's ranching experience comes through strongly. But the book's just too simple. Especially Belle/Silas's thoughts, emotions, dialogue.
Belle's a rough and tumble 3 time widow with 4 girls and an unmanageable number of heads in her herd. She needs extra hands for a cattle drive and luckily, Silas falls in her lap.
Silas is a competent, sweet rancher who's clueless about women and constantly shocked by Belle, since she's neither an empty headed flirt, nor a brothel babe. There's not much more to him than that.
Extra characters do their thing and again, their 1-D personalities did nothing for me.
