I loved this book! I am a sucker for angst and this one has just enough to satisfy me. :) I realize there is the absence of females but in all honesty i didn't even miss them. They talked about the one woman leaving the ranch with her brother in law and  leaving her kids behind, so that kind of took care of that aspect of it. But the writing was great and had me hooked from the beginning. I have read this over and over and loved it just as much each time. Tucker is more in love with Micah than he realizes and is just wanting to keep Micah from making a mistake in thinking he has a crush,but Micah knows he is in love and has been in love with Tucker for as long as he has been on the ranch. The marriage of convenience that Tucker thought up to save the ranch was brilliant on his part. He now has the ranch and Micah. There for a while you just don't know if Tucker plans to leave and break Micah's heart all over again. The angst makes it well worth the read and in my opinion there could have been more. Angst is the greatest when there is a happy ending. :)
