Living with four over-protective brothers is enough to make a good girl go bad. But the day Brianne Cates hits the road for a taste of freedom, she gets more trouble than she bargained for when she’s arrested by a sexy sheriff in mirrored shades. Now doing a stint of community service, she’s not going to let a cowboy cop like Dusty Hicks mess with her newfound independence-even if he awakens every wicked fantasy she’s ever had.
In Bramble, Texas, Dusty is the law. That means no leniency for the gorgeous rebel whose highway antics almost got them both killed. The divorced lawman doesn’t need another rich, pampered princess, even if Brianne has the lushest body and sweetest smile in the whole darn state. But even as Brianne proves that she lives to walk on the wild side, Dusty begins to wonder if maybe he has what it takes to tame her.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Oh my goodness! This book was crazy! There were so many things going on from a fallen TV evangelist who drives a Cadillac and looks like Elvis Presley, to bed-and-breakfast, formerly a real “henhouse,” run by three middle-aged flamboyant women, and a Mexican drug lord who escaped from prison and has come back to exact his revenge. And if that wasn’t awesome enough, the book starts off with a car chase followed by two attempts of resisting arrest and pepper spraying the mirrored sunglasses clad sheriff!
There ain’t nothing sexier than a man with mirrored shades and I swooned every time the sheriff was wearing them! Dusty is a hard man and rightly so. His ex-wife is a total bitch and used her father’s money and influence to get full custody of their young daughter. Dusty already has enough problems without another spoiled, rich girl crashing into his life, literally.
Brianne is trying to escape her stalker ex-boyfriend while hiding her exploits from her family’s untarnished image of her. If they only knew. Trying to avoid a scandal from a revealing picture her ex posted on the internet, Brianne’s brothers think it’s best for her to lay low at the “henhouse” until they can get things straightened out. Brianne is tired of her brothers pushing her around and resents hiding but it’s not all bad if she gets to spend more time with the grumpy sheriff, who is slowly melting towards Brianne.
There isn’t anything I didn’t love about this book. This is my first read from Katie Lane and she definitely has a new fan in me! I’m looking forward to reading all the books in the series! This is an amazingly heart-felt story that had me laughing out loud too many times to count.
