Interesting. I read the other two books before I read this one and from those I thought the conflict between Liberty and Hardy would be more pronounced.

I came to this book with some reservations because of the title, but ended up really liking it. In the beginning, when Liberty meets Hardy, I found some of the descriptions of her feelings for him to be so intense I had to put the book down and come back to it later. The overall plot outside of the love story was probably only a 4/5, but that sometimes happens. All-in-all, a very enjoyable book, and I really loved the heroine. (

Well written, my first contemporary Kleypas, really liked the main character. (

I enjoyed it, but I think I would've cut out a solid 100 pages.

I guess that's all I've got for now... (

Just about perfect. Such a rich story! Kleypas clearly knows East Texas and its people. (

Book description

SHE'S FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
Liberty Jones has dreams and determination that will take her far away from Welcome, Texas---if she can keep her wild heart from ruling her mind. Hardy Cates sees Liberty as completely off-limits. His own ambitions are bigger than Welcome, and Liberty Jones is a complication he doesn't need. But something magical and potent draws them to each other, in a dangerous attraction that is stronger than both of them.

HE'S THE ONE MAN SHE CAN'T HAVE
When Hardy leaves town to pursue his plans, Liberty finds herself alone with a young sister to raise. Soon Liberty finds herself under the spell of a billionaire tycoon---a Sugar Daddy, one might say. But the relationship goes deeper than people think, and Liberty begins to discover secrets about her own family's past.

WILL THEY FIND THEIR HEARTS' DESIRES OR WILL HEARTBREAK TEAR THEM APART?
Two men. One woman. A choice that can make her or break her. A woman you'll root for every step of the way. A love story you'll never forget.
