In short, Resisting the Rancher is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon, and I’d happily dip my toes in author Snopek’s pond again – easy to do since this novel is part of a series. I also enjoyed the frenetic pace the author created by setting everything against the backdrop of a family wedding – what better event than that to bring out all the quirks and dramas that linger within relationships of all kinds? Main character Celia is likeable – and I’m not just saying that because I work in dog rescue – smart, and resourceful, and love-interest Jonah is equally substantial. Her characters were three-dimensional and their interaction was both interesting and plausible. Roxanne Snopek’s Resisting the Rancher was an excellent choice for just such an escape. That said, every once in a while, it’s nice to pick up something that’s sexy and romantic and just escape into a piece of fiction. They’re just not my typical cup of literary tea. There’s nothing wrong with them, and studies have been done proving that women (in particular) who read them tend to have better, more fulfilling sex lives than women who do not. I’m not really a fan of “formula” romances. Recently, the first three books sold to France.

And the unwritten law on sisters is clear-hands off. But with Zach’s wedding on the horizon and Zach’s fashionista fiancée Desiree giving CeeCee a makeover, the little duckling Jonah remembers is turning into a definite swan. Jonah is happy to help little CeeCee Gamble, if only she’d come clean about why she’s being blackmailed. She always wanted Jonah to see her as a bona fide woman, but as a woman who’s being wrongfully blackmailed for seducing a married man? Not on her life. A misunderstanding from her past is rearing its ugly head and the only person she can turn to is Jonah Clarke-her family’s lawyer and, as it turns out, her brother Zach’s best friend and her childhood crush.

Goes well with: a double-scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone, eaten at the beach. I’m not sure if this novel counts as canon – though since it was co-written by series creator Rob Thomas, it totally should, but even if we take it as a slightly alternate universe, it’s worth the read, and it’s an excellent way for people, (like me) who binge-watched the entire series before the movie was released (I’d seen it before, but my husband hadn’t) to get their latest “fix.” Picking up where the Veronica Mars movie left off, this novel has everything I loved about the series and the film: Veronica’s personal brand of snark, the Neptune locals we know and love, and a mystery that wasn’t difficult to solve, but keeps us entertained, even so.įans of LoVe be warned: this novel takes place during Logan’s deployment, so don’t expect to see much of him.ĭo expect a few lovely (and some not-so-lovely) surprises, and a good amount of Dick Casablancas being, well, Dick.
