"Great read! I can't wait for Kari's next cowboy book."--Christine Wenger, author of How to Lasso a Cowboy, Harlequin Books
"Monica Hammond, an ant-acid popping, city-slick artist at her father's New York ad agency must win her client's business--and pleasure--in this agreeable romance. She is ostensibly sent to a Colorado dude ranch to create her first full ad campaign (copy and art) for its owner Cody Rafferty--and to test her fitness to inherit the business--before the company's reins are handed over to the star exec, her scheming ex-fiance Wendell Thorndike, whom she suspects wants to ruin her father. Monica is unprepared for the yummy, old-fashioned rancher, who, with his cleft chin, is a shoe-in for a Wrangler model. There's an immediate uncontrollable spark between them, from the first--of many times--she falls into his muscle bound arms, distracting them both from their duties. A self-described "disaster magnet," Monica adapts to western life, but not without flinging a bit of manure and needing an occasional rescue from roused horses and bulls. Packed with the required amounts of lascivious innuendo, improbable miscommunication, and amply narrated consummations, the author presents a middling fantasy of love on the range."--Publishers Weekly
One Temperamental Colorado Cowboy + one phony ad campaign + one quirky NY ad exec = one wild Rocky Mountain ride in Destiny Wears Spurs!"
Monica Hammond--New York ad exec at Hammond's Advertising Agency--will do anything to save her father's company from her ex-fiance, but she never imagines that will involve working beside cowboys on a Colorado dude ranch. With the boss looking like the centerfold for a Hot Men of the West calendar, her slogans sound more like an advertisement for a singles' ranch than a family run operation. While Cody Rafferty--owner of Rafferty's Remote Ranch--only agrees to need a phony ad campaign because he owes her father a favor and her crazy antics are making more work for him than it's worth, but he can't help rooting for the spunky little spitfire. Falling in lust is one thing, but falling in love isn't part of the plany, only sometimes destiny has a mind of its own.
