Hannah Cartwright must save her little sister from the clutches of the evil Grant Cooper – the rancher who takes in helpless orphans as hired labor on his farm. Unfortunately, to rescue her sister, she has to find a reason for staying in town, so she becomes the new school teacher. In the process, she’s shocked to discover that the villainous Mr. Cooper may be less like her horrible father and more like her handsome prince.
Grant Cooper just wants to get on with his life and enjoy the blessings of being a single dad to a large and eclectic crew of children. The last thing he needs is a bossy and nosy school teacher interfering with his kids and his life….even if she’s intelligent, pretty, and great with children.
Misunderstandings spiral out of control while a scheming seamstress tries to find a way to take Grant’s farm and his heart. Will a few shocking kisses, two giving hearts, and eight children equal the perfect ending?
My two cents worth:
Read it! Anything by Mary Conneally is a RIDE! Gingham Mountain is no exception. Mary's clever way of bringing the male/female banter onto the page is exciting and realistic, not to mention hilarious. Grant Cooper is one of those ‘real men’ who has a heart as big as Texas. He’s incredibly innocent and manly all wrapped up into one…and the unexpected kisses shocked and delighted me as much as it did the characters.
If your after a book to make you smile, warm your heart, and take you to another time and place, I recommend any of the books from the Lassoed in Texas series. You’ll have a smile on your face and suddenly wish your husband owned a stetson
