The Winter Soldier

I had a hard time getting past the idea that a girl raised on a ranch was so incompetent with everything to do with ranching. Plus she went between being a pretty big weenie, and moronically fearless, which is not the kind of heroine I prefer to read.

Seriously, he was married before, observed one pregnancy and therefore knew exactly how hormonal every woman will be during pregnancy? And the woman doesn't have a clue, and has to be told by the neighbor rancher dude that she isn't really pregnant?

Hero is a rather alpha guy, which I like, but you get to feeling a little skeevy about how he wants show more a woman who is virtually clueless. show less
