Theresa's Reviews > Dreaming of Her Cowboys Kiss

I read this book as a collection of Christmas books by various authors. In the collection it had a wintery cover. I was trying to make a Christmas book goal so I read it. It's not about Christmas, but a summer camp that has Christmas in July ( or some summer month that is hardly important right?)

Ruby who is an adopted foster kid is about to marry someone she doesn't love,but she walks in on him cheating on her. As she storms off she literally runs into Ethan. He too was brought up by Ruby's adoptive parents. They never adopted him? Or was it her? I have to assume the author thought it would be ick to have two adopted kids fall in love. They were both teens when they were taken in give me a break it would be fine.

Anyway, Ethan has always loved Ruby. When she runs into him, he plops her on his motorcycle and whisks her away to his farm. She asks him to go on her honeymoon with her but he explains that he hosts a summer camp every summer for kids and it starts soon. Ruby is amazed by this because he has never told her. When they interact it has always been all about her.

So to give herself time to heal, she stays on at summer camp and takes on five girls. Ruby has no idea how to be a farmer so she struggles at first, but eventually she figures out how to use her skills as a surgeon to teach these girls.While she is getting good at being there, Ethan is falling deeper in love, and Ruby starts to realize what she has felt all along.

But Ruby is a trauma surgeon with a big career ahead of her and a lot of school debt to pay off. She can't stay here. Although Ethan owns his farm out right and doesn't t need her money, and every doctor has those same loans to pay off and they don' t all head to Los Angeles. Ethan could
leave but he doesn't want to leave his farm.

Here is the thing for me. This book leans very heavy on the Christian viewpoint of God's Will and doing all things in faith. I don't mind a bit of that, but getting hit over the head with it to the point of it becoming the focus is too much for me. That's why it's a three star for me. My eyes started to glaze over. If you love Christian romance and need it to talk about God a lot to enjoy it, then you will love this book. For me I need to go read something its polar opposite right now.
