STICK IN THE MUD MEETS SPONTANEITY 
by Rachael Anderson

Home from college for the summer, Samantha Kinsey steps into her role as nanny for her two favorite little charges.

But when she finds herself playing chauffeur more than playmate, her summer outlook quickly turns from fun to bleak.

That is, until she drives the girls to a family-owned ranch and meets Colten McCoy—a genuine, hard-working cowboy, who's as set in his ways as he is handsome.

Although he claims he doesn't need any fun in his life, Sam’s determined to help him find it.

But she'll soon discover that cowboys are about as easy to train as wild mustangs.

 Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity is about an adaptable girl and a not so adaptable guy.

It’s about learning to accept people for who they are and realizing that sometimes who they are is exactly who they should be.

My Review
I so adore this series and how the author takes two completely opposite people and pulls them together in sweet romance.

The author also notes:

"I hope this story took you out of reality for awhile and into a world of escape and rejuvenation because everyone deserves that once in awhile."

This book truly does just that! I love that stories like this can whisk us away and help us see something different for a few moments each time we pick up the book.

I loved how the characters struggled to come together, but once they did they made the most of every moment...living in the moment and pushing the future aside for the time being.

I loved that the girl didn't give up on her dreams just to be with the guy...the hardest choices are between two good things...but I see how if she had stayed she would have always wondered and maybe even started to resent that she didn't try.

But I also love that the guy stood by her...once he got over his pride...

And wait until you read about what he does in the end...such a great scene on so many levels!

You will absolutely LOVE this book!

Make it a MUST-READ for your summer list!

I have read all three of the books in this series and highly recommend all of them!

Such great writing!

Such great stories!

About the Author

A USA Today bestseller, I'm a part-time writer and full-time mother of four. Over the years, I've become pretty good at breaking up fights, or at least sending guilty parties to their rooms. I can't sing, don't dance, and despise tragedies. But I recently figured out how yeast works and can now make homemade bread, which I am really good at eating.

Some other random things about me...

I have serious decision-making issues. I hate making them. Be it where to go for dinner or what movie to rent (unless there is a new romantic comedy available), my typical response is, "I don't care." The worst part is that I married someone with the same problem. Sometimes we drive around for an hour before one of us finally decides.

I love peanut butter. I couldn't live without it. One of my favorite treats is a spoon full of peanut butter dipped in milk chocolate chips. Yum!

I really don't like to empty the dishwasher. It has to be one of my least favorite jobs. But I don't mind loading it. Why is that?

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite movies (second only to Pride and Prejudice). I still have daydreams of living on Prince Edward Island. I hope that is what heaven is like. What a perfectly gorgeous place to live.

I bite my fingernails. It's a disgustingly bad habit, but one I have failed to break over the years. Maybe someday.

I wither when the temperature rises above 90 degrees.

I am an obsessive reader. Mainly novels. My favorite are romantic comedies, followed by suspense, then fantasy.

I love to drive fast. My speeding ticket history proves that.

Embarrassingly enough, there was one year of my life that I received 4 W-2's. I had a hard time finding a job that didn't bore me to death after the first month. Thankfully, I've taken to motherhood. Although, there are some days . . . :)

I absolutely HATE shaving my legs.

I am incredibly afraid of bees. You'd think I'm allergic, but I'm not. I act like a complete fool anytime one flies near me. It's embarrassing.

I love British and Australian accents. Who doesn't?

New Zealand is at the top of my travel wish list. It used to be Australia, but thanks to my sweet hubby, I've been able to go there.

Whenever I have to speak in front of a crowd, whatever is left of my brain freezes and I turn into an idiot. Seriously. I was asked to say the prayer in church a few months ago, and I said, "We're grateful to be here this Saturday," instead of Sunday. I told my husband, who was saying the closing prayer, that he needed to say Friday so I wouldn't feel so dumb. He didn't. Where's the love?

I do NOT have the patience of Job.

My dream mom vehicle is a Toyota Sequoia. But I think I will always drive a minivan. I'm far too practical and would rather spend the extra money on a fun vacation. Maybe to New Zealand.

I have an intense fear of heights, yet I love extreme roller coasters. Explain that one.

I LOVE playing games. Ticket to Ride and Yahtzee Free for All are my current favorites.

One of the lights on our entryway chandelier has this large paint blotch on it, compliments of me. I have yet to figure out a way to get it off. I'm praying the light bulbs never burn out because then we'll have a very dark foyer.

I love watching my children while they sleep. Like perfect little angels. I'd be like that mother in the bookI'll Love You Forever, and pick them up to snuggle if I wasn't afraid that I would wake them up.
