2.5 to 3 stars
I am not a fan of cheating in romances, and Lauren cheats almost the entire story, justifying it with weird leaps in logic. Sure, Steve is sexy and hot as a hero can be, but I wondered how long it would be before she started cheating on him, despite his magic appendage. Lauren's waffling in the beginning was also a little irritating - she was still going to marry her rich fiance because her life would be comfortable, but by the end of the book, she was glad she was breaking off the engagement because she didn't fit in with "those" people. Keep in mind that cowboy Steve isn't exactly poor, and his family runs an enviable cattle spread in Texas.
I did enjoy the writing style, was never bored, but my reservations above diminished my enjoy of this quick novella.

Lauren Allen is driving several hours to go meet her fiancee's parents. Luck however is not in her favor when her car decides to break down on the side of the road with no help in sight. She hoofs it back towards town and finally sees a diner and stops in. The patrons of the diner are all cowboys eating lunch and super nice. The waitress/owner of the diner lets her cool off and even goes out of her way to help arrange one of the cowboys to driver to the rest of the trip.
The novella itself was pretty good, it satisfied my cowboy urge. It will however bother quite a few readers since it does contain cheating. So if you're okay with that in books, and you love cowboys I'd suggest this novella. If you're not okay with cheating in books, I'd suggest you steer clear.

I loved Lauren, the heroine, of this story. Her voice was great. She had this can-do attitude and a sense of humor that I could get behind. And her cowboy, Steve, was pretty hot, too. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms. Brooks' books in the future.

"3 out of 5 stars. Lauren is driving through Texas (by herself) on her way to meet her future-in-laws when her car breaks down. From that point on one calamity or another gets in the way of Lauren getting to her destination. During that time, Lauren meets Steven, which makes her question what she truly wants for her own future.
I wasn't disappointed with this novel but I didn't love it either."
