Book Review - Kiss Me (Fool's Gold) by Susan Mallery

ABOUT THE BOOK
New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery creates the small-town destination for romance in charming Fool's Gold, California—where a loner cowboy finds the one woman who can capture his heart 

After Phoebe Kitzke's kind heart gets her suspended from her job in LA, she swears off doing favors—until her best friend begs for help on the family ranch in Fool's Gold. Unfortunately, sexy cowboy Zane Nicholson isn't exactly thrilled by the city girl's arrival. 

Thanks to his brother's latest scheme, Zane has been roped into taking tourists on a cattle drive. What Phoebe knows about ranching wouldn't fill his hat, but her laughter is so captivating that even his animals fall for her. One slip of his legendary control leads to a passionate kiss that convinces him she's exactly the kind of woman a single-minded loner needs to avoid. 

In his arms, Phoebe discovers she's a country girl at heart. Yet no matter how much the small town feels like home, she can't stay unless Zane loves her, too…but is this cowboy interested in forever?

REVIEW
I am always amazed at how Susan Mallery can come up with such different stories for each book in this series.  Everything I expect from a good Mallery book is there, fun characters, sweet and compelling story and a little humor mixed in.  The hero in this book just didn’t do it for me, which is no fault of Mallery’s.  I don’t get the “strong silent type,” or how the heroine would be attracted to someone who mostly only grunts or glares. This is really just a personal preference though, and anyone who loves the previous books in the Fools Gold series will certainly enjoy this one.
OVERALL RATING - 4 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
