The Rancher and the City Girl by Joya Ryan

4.0

Funny, sexy romance.

Charlotte Gram builds websites in L.A., until her grandmother, Wilma Gram, has ankle surgery and needs help with her small farm in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Tripp Montgomery lives on the farm next to Wilma Gram with his two brothers and his six year old daughter Gracie.

On a visit into town Tripp sees a beautiful woman kicking seven bells out of her car and cursing like a trooper, after helping her with her overheating problem (pnarr pnarr) he gets Charlotte to agree to a date. This leads to one of the best lines ever when Tripp's brother walks into the bathroom and says:
“Smells like senior year in here,” Bo said from the doorway of the bathroom. “Scratch that, it smells like prom night senior year.”
They have a torrid one night stand never thinking they would see each other again, only to discover that they are going to be neighbours for several weeks.

Of course, as a city girl, Charlotte doesn't know what to do on a farm and Tripp as the closest neighbour needs to help, but he is wary about Gracie getting too close to women, especially after her mother left, and tries to keep Charlotte at arms length.

This is a super sweet, funny, sexy novella about opposites attracting. Loved it.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Bumped for release.
