MY REVIEW:
I enjoyed the first book in this series, "A Vote of Confidence", where we are introduced to Gwen and her not so identical twin sister Cleo. I liked Gwen and following her in book #1 was great, but I have to say that I love Cleo and "Fit To Be Tied" is so fun! Cleo is an independent woman living on her dad's ranch, breaking horses and dressing like the guys in a time when that is not typical. Guess what? She doesn't care! But she is lonely. And now that her sister is married (and expecting) she feels the desire to find Mr. Right more than ever. But is there a Mr. Right for someone as unique as Cleo?
One of the best things about Cleo is the way she loves unreservedly, with no holds barred. I thought this was so true, but for so few people anymore. She also has something very unique in our day and time... very little regard for what others think of her, she is comfortable in her own skin... for most of the book anyway. The journey with Cleo in this book is a romp that you will not soon forget. I am excited for book #3, Robin Lee Hatcher is a wordsmith and if you have never read her book "Ribbon of Years" I encourage you to get that book as well.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Cleo Arlington dresses like a cowboy, is fearless and fun-loving, and can ride, rope, and wrangle a horse as well as any man. In 1916, however, those talents aren’t what most young women aspire to. But Cleo isn’t most women. Twenty-nine years old and single, Cleo loves life on her father’s Idaho ranch. Still, she hopes someday to marry and have children.Enter Sherwood Statham, an English aristocrat whose father has sentenced him to a year of work in America to “straighten him out.” Sherwood, who expected a desk job at a posh spa, isn’t happy to be stuck on an Idaho ranch. And he has no idea how to handle Cleo, who’s been challenged with transforming this uptight playboy into a down-home cowboy, because he has never encountered a woman succeeding in a “man’s world.”
Just about everything either of them says or does leaves the other, well, fit to be tied. Cleo Arlington knows everything about horses but nothing about men. And though Cleo believes God’s plan for her includes a husband, it couldn’t possibly be Sherwood Statham. Could it?
Their bumpy trot into romance is frustrating, exhilarating, and ultimately heartwarming.
