Tess in Boots by Courtney Rice Gager
Anaiah Romance
Description:
Tess Dougherty plans every aspect of her life right down to the last detail. But she doesn’t plan on running her boyfriend off by bringing up the topic of marriage before he’s ready. And she doesn’t plan to lose her job on the day she’s set to receive a huge promotion. So when her perfect world unravels, Tess makes a new plan: disappear.
Tess packs her bags and leaves her city apartment for a remote vineyard in North Carolina. At first, she’s put off by the slow pace of small-town life in the South. She’s especially irritated by Thatcher, the vineyard’s smart-mouth, dimple-faced farmhand. But she soon begins to appreciate the area’s charm, and Thatcher’s charm, too. She even swaps her trademark heels for a pair of cowboy boots. As Tess spends more time getting to know Thatcher, she finds herself loosening her grip on her old life little by little. Unfortunately, things on the vineyard aren’t as simple as they seem. There’s a secret here, and when the truth comes to light, Tess is forced to reconsider every plan she’s ever made.
My Review:
My Review:
Tess is a very organized person--one who very well in the business world. When her boyfriend of seven years takes her out for a very special dinner, she expects to end the night with an engagement, but comes away with a cake for her new promotion, which ends up with her losing her promotion before it begins. Deciding to get away for awhile to figure things out, Tess goes to North Carolina to help her brother and sister-in-law with a new business venture. Tess immediately encounters some interesting situations and rumors, as well as some interesting people...namely, Thatcher, which results in a mild love triangle. There seems to be a lot of secrets and mysteries going on in this small town, especially with the people close to her, but it's nothing she can't handle.
I loved the relationship between Tess and her twin brother, Jake. They are so different, yet they are able to relate to one another and help each other out. Tess is a very take-charge person and I loved seeing her let her hair down. When her perfectly planned life goes awry, she comes up with alternative plans. She's not a person to sit back and let life happen. I loved the side characters, especially some of the small town old-timers. They were funny and stereotypical. I had my favorite man--the one I was rooting for, yet even with all that happened, I was still taken by complete surprise by the ending. Don't get me wrong--I love a good surprise, so it was fun and I had no idea how it was all going to work out, but it did.
This is an author to keep an eye on! The story had a great flow, with really fun characters.

Excerpt:
I heard the sound of tires on the wet road, and looked up in time to see another truck slowing down to avoid crashing into the cow. The truck pulled around the cow and stopped alongside where I stood on the side of the road. The driver rolled the window down, and when I saw his face, I wanted to cry.
Thatcher.
It was not my day.
“You all right?”
I crossed my arms. “I’m fine!”
“Guess your GPS didn’t tell you to go around the cow, did it, Heels?”
I turned away from him and pulled my phone out of my pocket.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m calling for roadside assistance.”
“Good luck. Cell phones don’t work on this stretch of road.”
I turned around and glared at him. “What?”
“I said cell phones don’t work on this stretch of road.”
“I heard you. That’s insane.”
“Go ahead and try. Maybe you have some fancy magical cell phone.”
I rolled my eyes and turned away again, attempting to place a call. He was right. Nothing.
“Get in the truck, Heels.”
I didn’t budge.
“Come on, now. Get in.”
I turned around to see him hop out of the truck, walk around to the passenger side, and open the door.
There was no way I was getting in his truck.
“You gonna make me stay out in the rain all night?” he asked.
I put my hands on my hips.
“You know,” he said, “it ain’t right for a cow to stand in the road like that. You ever heard of Mad Cow Disease?”
I looked at the cow, then back at Thatcher, then back at the cow.
Was he kidding? I couldn’t tell. What choice did I have anyway? I was soaking wet, freezing, and miles from the vineyard.
I balled my hands into fists and took several strides toward the truck. “Fine. But I’m only coming with you because you look like an idiot standing out here in the pouring rain.” I got in the truck, and he shut the door behind me.
“Well, so do you, Heels.”
