Dust & Desire – Daisy Jane

Dust & Desire – Daisy Jane

Hmm how have I never read anything by Daisy Jane before?? I’ve been missing out!

So, this is a cowboy story (are you at all surprised?) and it’s about Landry Vaughn’s Bronc riding rodeo comeback and its fantastic!

Landry (I dare you to read this name and not think Laundry) is a widower who’s is barely keeping his ranch above water he has the most precious 6-year-old daughter Sadie who is his whole world. She is the reason he has agreed to get back in the saddle and win the rodeo plus the 150k prize money would solve a lot of problems.

Quinn is a filmmaker who has been sent to Texas from San Fransico to make a film about the great rodeo comeback. She has NO idea about ranch life but soon falls in love with the small town of Sable Sky and the inhabitants (some more than others!).

So, Landry is putting himself through it to get back into rodeo shape and trying to juggle training, his daughter and saving his ranch so what do his dead wife’s parents do the rich assholes try to go for custody of Sadie 6 years after their daughters passing 6 years!!! While Landry was putting himself into serious debt to try save their daughter and working out how to deal with his grief and raise his little girl these assholes were nowhere to be seen! And now they think they can swan in and get custody the audacity!!

This just adds to the stress this poor guy is already under and made me so mad!!! Landry comes up with a fake marriage plan involving Quinn as his fake bride. Quinn who has awoken things in him he thought had died with his wife! Yeah, you know this isn’t going to be a fake marriage for long. This story is a comeback story that is so real you feel for the characters and the story actually flows really well there isn’t drama for the sake of keeping the book going. This is one man who has been holding back the flood on his own for way too long. Unfortunately, his whole story is laid bare in the custody hearing but the strength this man possesses and the story of this is well worth the read!
