There’s Something About a Cowboy
by Rich Amooi
Rule #1: No Dating Cowboys.
A fake fiancé doesn’t count, right? Oh boy . . .
Amy Weaver is tired of her dad meddling in her love life. Fed up, she hires an actor to play the part of her fake cowboy fiancé when she goes home for her grandpa’s ninetieth birthday. Sure, Luke Jenkins has got looks, charm, and muscular legs, but this is business, pure and simple. Things are fine and dandy until she finds out he’s a real cowboy, not an actor. Now, she’s stuck between a rock and his chiseled jawline, falling faster than a sack of horseshoes. How the heck is Amy supposed to ignore the sparks between them and stick to her rule of not dating cowboys? All bets are off.
My Rating:
“Those aren’t Wranglers,” Amy said, glancing at the tight jeans
surrounding the man’s muscular legs. “That’s denim-colored Saran Wrap. I swear
I can see his marble collection.”
Sure, he’s some serious eye candy, no doubt, but you know I prefer
the nerdy type. Give me a computer engineer and I’ll be naked before you can
say hard disk.
…”why don’t you bring me a piece of that delicious apple pie with
some of that slow-Chernobyl vanilla ice cream.” “It’s slow-churned,
nincompoop.”
“Now, don’t you go joking around like that,” Grandpa Leo said.
“You never know when I’m going to keel over from this old heart of mine. My
A-orca is not what it used to be.” “Aorta.” “That, too.”
He’s a master at sucking up to your father. Hear that slurping?
That’s him again. The man could suck a Big Mac through a screen door.
Not that Nathan was a horrible person, but they wanted different
things. He wanted Amy to be a housewife, and she wanted him to go far, far
away.
I want to say thank you all for coming to my birthday. I’m so old
I remember when the Dead Sea was just sick.
I can always count on Rich Amooi to put a smile on my face; his stories are a sweet treat like a delightfully frothy confection. His characters were knowable and endearing while not always likable, but I honestly don’t know anyone who is - other than myself of course. The storylines were engaging and pleasantly entertaining while the writing was cleverly observant, humorous, easy to follow, and held my interest throughout. His light romantic comedies are a welcome respite between heavier tomes and just good fun.
