About this ebook

❤ What Comes After Love at First Sight? ❤

He's born to ranch. She's Broadway bound.

What are the odds they'd ever meet?

But when they do, one look propels them into a romance neither ever expected, even as they both know they have only this brief time, this short, magical, intense holiday season . . .

 

Ed Currick's and Donna Roberts' worlds couldn't be any more different – a cowboy and rancher from small-town Wyoming and an up-and-coming Broadway musical actress on a national tour. Then a momentary encounter changes everything. First, it sparks desire, which leads to a kiss and . . . a heart-pounding connection filled with laughter and tears.

But how can there be anything but heartbreak ahead when they have only these few, precious days before they're pulled in opposite directions by their own dreams?

One look, a passionate love . . . and then they part . . . Forever?

"Oh my gosh!...I just can't wait to tell my best friend about it! On to book two!!"

Ratings and reviews

Sweet love story that takes you from the first look knowing that is the woman you want to marry to not knowing how to get through the opposite attract to a lasting marriage.

I love this book and have downloaded the next in the series ‘Almost A Bride’ which is also currently free at present. Donna and Ed are fantastic, they are both characters who are easy to like and fall for, both got fire when needed and both are stunned and brought to their knees by their attraction. But can they find a middle ground, somewhere where they will both be happy or are they destined to just have days together? As a free download I wasn’t expecting anything amazing from this book, but it was a real treat and a lovely surprise, so glad I tried it.

It has touching sweet moments. For my taste, I'd like something more than the standard, however.
