Down in Whynot, NC, there are three things that hold true: 1) life moves just a little bit slower, 2) family means everything, and 3) you don’t mess with history.
When his family decides to sell a home that’s been part of their history for over a century, Lowe Mancinkus is madder than a hornet. To add insult to injury, the woman who purchased it is some fancy pants, city girl looking to fix it up and sell it off. Doesn’t matter that she’s sexy as hell or that just being near her gets his blood racing like never before. That home belongs to his family, or at least it did until she came to town.
Well that just won’t do, now will it?
From the moment that she laid eyes on the historical home in rural North Carolina, Melinda Rothschild knew Mainer House was something special. The perfect escape from life in New York City, Melinda signed the papers and set to work restoring the house to its natural beauty. That is until an angry Lowe showed up on her doorstep one day. With a scowl on his handsome, chiseled face. And a shotgun in his strong, muscular arms.
Is it getting hot in here?
Melinda’s about to get a lesson on life in the south, but Lowe is about to learn a lesson of his own – this city girl doesn’t back down from a fight
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Well, that sure was sweet… I’m talking giving you cavities from sweet tea so deep you’ll need a root canal.
Stubborn As A Mule was good and sweet and to the point. I want to call it a slow burn, but I didn’t really feel the passion between these two that you generally feel when a couple has that insane chemistry. They are started out as ‘enemies’ but within days, they put that all behind them and all the sudden they were kissing. I generally love that hate you so much that I can’t help but kiss you kind of passion, but I just found this lacking.
Stubborn as a Mule was crazy sweet and oozed southern charm. I just need more drama! I wanted to fall frustratingly in love with their love hate relationship, but it was more of resentment to contentment to love.
I really enjoyed Mely’s gay best friend and the Floyd the most in this story. I’m a big fan of the side characters, but I only liked Mely and Lowe. If you are looking for a charming story that is low on drama and a quick read, you should pick up this Stubborn As A Mule.
