The story was too short to really I tried for another cowboy, but in this case, only Clint will do although I still have not forgiven him for talking to an empty chair like an idiot.

The exclusive story behind New Zealand's newest hero. Edit Did You Know? There are only two caveats placed in the awarding of the Victoria Cross.

Jun 15, Amanda Sheila rated it liked it Shelves: I enjoyed this book. Though it's a bit too short to my liking, but I definitely sense the southern atmosphere.
I was hoping for more drama.
But overall a good before bed reading. Nov 18, Jennifer rated it liked it Shelves: Andrea is a writer who is trying to find inspiration for her newest series and she has chosen Matthew as her muse. It was a blast to watch them interact especially with Matthew being so against the whole process at first and then becoming acclimated to it. There is also a fun twist to the entire story that I appreciated. I just found myself wishing that this had been a full-length novel. There was so much potential yet I felt like the chara 3.
There was so much potential yet I felt like the characters and the romance was underdeveloped.
We were told a lot more than we were shown. Dec 17, Debbie Dodd rated it liked it.

This novella is sweet and the dance that goes on Sweet Western Novella "I'm in desperate need of a hero.
This novella is sweet and the dance that goes on between Andrew and Matthew is sweet. This novella feels too short and I think that this could have easily have been a longer novel. The story has an unexpected twist that once revealed gives what happens previously more meaning. Finding out the twist is half the fun of the story. The two characters are interesting although there is a lot going on for such a short novella. I liked both of the characters and really liked the way the story ended. Short and sweet, this book has a twist that gives the story more depth than it first appeared to have.
This is a standalone novella. I give this novella 4 stars. Nov 28, Trish R.
What a great story. A little bit of fun, a little bit of drama, a little bit of love and a little bit of sex. What more could I ask for. And, even though Andi left him when she found out the truth she came around in a super big way. She and Doctor John Martin sure saved Matthew's hind-end.
I love westerns and this was a good one. There was a l Nice! There was a little sexual tension between Matt and Andi, and the one sex scene was nice. The sex was not overly descriptive but it was there. Anyway, it was a really sweet story and I liked it, as I do all of Ms. Mal rated it liked it Dec 05, BookwormWithGoggles rated it it was ok Jan 31, Gina Viray-mance rated it it was amazing Apr 02, Donna rated it liked it Jan 01, Kathy Avery rated it really liked it Sep 17,
