Do some people fall in love more often than others? Opposites attract, but can they ever hold? Are some people incapable of learning from their mistakes? These questions haunt journalist Allison Tyler-Wilcox after meeting Jake Sorenson at his sister’s wedding. Despite his seven divorces, Jake considers himself uncommonly lucky at love. Baffled by his sanguine attitude—and his offhand suggestion … attitude—and his offhand suggestion that she could be the next Mrs. Sorenson—Allison talks her editor into letting her explore the compulsion some people have when it comes to saying “I do”.
As soon as she arrives at Jake’s 1,500-acre ranch in rural Oregon, Allison realizes she has misjudged him, underestimating his appeal to the opposite sex and his worldliness in general. Despite his multiple divorces—and his current dubious relationships—Jake maintains his marriages weren’t failures even though they ended. During muleback rides and impromptu tango dances, Jake shares with level-headed Allison his unique philosophy on life and love, leaving her confused for the first time about her own marriage, her ideals, and her feelings for the roguish mule breeder.

This is not my first book by this author, it is one of my favorites by her. I enjoyed being pulled into the story right from the beginning. This is a romance story that will leave you believing or not believing if opposites attract and if some people just fall in love faster than others. This is a well written story that has characters that brought the story to life. I had no problems connecting with them. They kept me turning pages fast just wanting to see what would happen next. This is a story about Allison and Jake. Jake is a man who has been married seven times. He feels that he is unlucky in love but then he meets Allison. She is a journalist that convinces her editor to let her write an article on why there is such a compulsion to saying “I do”. When she gets to his ranch will she realize that there is more to Jake than first meets the eye? As she learns his views on life and marriage, it starts making her question her own life. What will happen with these two is up to you to read this book. You won’t regret picking this up, I didn’t. It was a great story that I enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.
