Country Heaven (Country Love, #1) written by Vicki Green (269 pgs) – finished reading 2/4/15 – 5 stars - Contemporary Romance


My 5 star rating goes to Memphis! He’s hot! He’s amazing! But, most of all, he’s a gentleman! Who wouldn’t swoon over this hot cowboy from Montana??

The most sweetest guy you ever want to meet is Memphis Johnson! He’s kind and caring with not a mean bone in his body. As he runs his own farm alone since both his parents’ passing, he decides to help others that are not so fortunate as himself by giving them a place to eat and sleep and in return they can help him out with the farm. He thought it sounded like a great idea and one that his pa would be mighty proud of. Things seem to be going along just fine until he meets wealthy and spoiled Sadie Tisdale. Encountering Sadie was like nothing Memphis ever imagined. She was angry and difficult. Having been sent to the farm by her father because of some trouble she had been in, it was his only hope that she would see what a great big wonderful world was out there. So here she is mad at her father and everyone she came in contact with, spouting off how life was unfair and how dare her father send her to this God forsaken place in the middle of nowhere. But, Memphis just being the absolute gentleman, pays no mind and actually gets a kick out of her. She’s actually very pretty, and he has to hold in his laughter because of her pouting theatrics. What will happen as these two get to know each other? Will Sadie realize that her snobby and ignorant ways are no longer necessary as she grows to appreciate Memphis and the beautiful land that he calls home?

Ah, this was such a beautiful love story. It was tender and sweet, and you could just feel the romance building as the story moved along. Two young people who really just needed each other in order to feel alive again. This novel was not just about the romance, however. There was also some suspense thrown in too with a cast of characters so memorable. Who could forget the wise and heartwarming Mable who welcomed Sadie with open arms? And, what about the renegade, Jag, with his piercings and tattoos who stirs up danger and destruction as he becomes a resident at the farm? Will Sadie survive the whole ordeal when chaos and devastion come knocking on her door? Do Sadie and Memphis stand a chance of finding happiness together?

There was so much going on in this book. From the first page turned my engrossment into this novel was immediate. It kept my attention totally, and I was delighted with quite a few swoon-worthy moments. If all cowboys were like Memphis Johnson, I’d be on my way to Montana pronto! He was a total hunk of deliciousness!! And, when all is said and done, Sadie becomes someone that her father virtually can be proud of. She matures into a smart and confident young woman. A very entertaining read! Now let’s see what Colby Carter is up to when his story is explored in the next installment of this series...

Review Written, 2/6/15
