From the author of Once Upon a Cowboy (“Sexy, charming, and perfectly heartwarming.”—Lauren Layne) comes another sweet novel of the Whisper Creek Ranch, where sizzling Montana men melt the most stubborn hearts. After Alexis Maguire’s wedding day comes and goes without a groom, she decides that it’s time for a change. Tired of being the dependable, steady—and apparently boring—one, Alexis hopes … boring—one, Alexis hopes that a cross-country road trip will help her loosen up and find her inner sparkle. Her first stop is the Whisper Creek Ranch, where the hot wranglers are sure to bring out her inner party girl. The trouble is, she can’t stand pretending to be someone she’s not—especially around the cowboy who tempts her to stay put.
Gunnar Peterson has spent six months working at Whisper Creek, and he’s never been happier. Having grown up an army brat, he’s ready to put down roots, and the only thing missing is a woman to share his life with. When Alexis blows into town, Gunnar thinks he may have met his match, despite the wild-child facade he sees right through. But Alexis swears she won’t settle down anytime soon—so it’s up to Gunnar to convince her that what she’s looking for . . . is right here.

I really enjoyed reading this story. It was a story of being able to find yourself in a different setting and with a different person.
Alexis “Lexi” Maguire was had been cursed. She was always the “good enough until something better comes along” girl. Inevitably, when someone better came along, her boyfriend, date, even fiance’, left. Two weeks before her wedding, her fiance’, Tristan, took off. He didn’t even have the courage to tell her in person. He left her a note in her mailbox. Her sister finally decided that Lexis needed to leave Maine to gain some perspective so she signed her up to be a nurse on a guest ranch in Montana.
The first person she met when arriving in Montana was Gunnar Peterson. He was a gorgeous cowboy who had baggage of his own. He was kind and gentle and really liked Lexi and not the Lexi she was trying to convince herself to be in order to win back her idiot fiance’, Tristan. The more time Gunnar spent with Lexi, the more he could see what a wonderful person she was. The problem was that Lexi couldn’t see that yet. So, Gunnar decided to help her find that wonderful person inside.
I won’t give away the story but there is a happy ending and be warned, “Don’t drink the water in Whisper Creek, Montana. You might just want to stay forever.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Really sweet story! Lexi and Gunnar have a great connection. I don’t like that she wants her ex back and that it takes awhile for her to realize that it’s a stupid idea. Also, I found her sending her ex selfie pics of her new adventurous self was pathetic; she sends over 10 pics to him with very little response from him. I wanted her to be stronger; more focused on herself and Gunnar, but that is one of the things she needs to work on throughout the story. I just wanted her to put more effort into her connection with Gunnar.
Gunnar is great! He’s really a perfect guy; totally understanding and sweet and sexy! I also loved that he doesn’t do casual! Yay!! A guy that shows respect to women.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story. I would’ve liked a bit more spice; there’s some making out, but I wanted a bit more. Still a wonderful, sexy connection between Gunnar and Lexi. Heartfelt read!
Unlucky in Love the 4th book in the Whisper Creek Series was a sweet read. It can be read as a stand alone as I didn’t read any of the others and I had no problems. Although I liked the secondary characters so much I kinda wanna go back and read their stories too. This was a clean romance for my friends that don’t like the sexy time. But just because this is a clean read didn’t mean it was lacking in romance. Lexi and Gunnar had a connection that was coming through the pages strong. I loved Gunnar. He was just so charming. There was just something special about him. I liked Lexi too. I found some of her quirks cute, but her obsession to get her ex, who was clearly a worthless coward, back drove me crazy. I felt she held on to her plan to get her ex back for too long. I loved Gunnar and Lexi together. They had a sweet love and a deep friendship too. There are some really funny moments in this book too. At the end the romantic gestures that Gunnar did had me smiling like a silly sap. They were over the top super sweet and I loved every minute of it.
