SARA
ORWIG
Synopsis
from Goodreads: After
a century-long family feud, Madison Milan doesn't trust any
Calhoun—especially Jake, the man who ditched her on the night of
their elopement. But when he shows up claiming an heirloom map leads
to gold on her ranch, she's swamped by steamy memories. She may not
trust Jake, but she just might want him…
Jake
will do anything to get what he wants—Madison's ranch. Consider it
payback to the Milans. And Madison? She's collateral damage in their
family feud. The confident cowboy has nothing to worry about…except
falling for the forbidden beauty all over again…

First
line:
In the small town of Verity, Texas, when the door to the Texas United
Western Bank opened, Jake Calhoun's breath whooshed out as if a fist
slammed into his gut.
My
thoughts: I
don't think I've read this author before, but I see her name all the
time and know she's written tons of books. I have several more of her
books in the TBR pile. So I think I had higher expectations than I
should've. A feud and digging for treasure seems like a refreshing
topic for a category romance, but the book was mostly melodrama and
repeated accusations of "you walked out on our wedding day"
and "you wanted your father's money more than you wanted me",
and then kiss kiss and lots of makeup sex.
