So originally I had planned on reading Nicholas Sparks "Safe Haven" as my February book, however, once I got my hands on this book - I just couldn't put it down. If you remember this post my mom and I met Pioneer woman at her book signing and since then I've been obsessed with the book. The story itself is on her website, but the book itself includes some extras like some of her favorite recipes and her first year of marriage.I like Amazon's little blurb about it - Popular blogger and cookbook author Drummond shares the story of her courtship and marriage to her husband, whom she refers to as Marlboro Man. Though Drummond grew up in Oklahoma, she never imagined she'd end up there for good. After four years of college in Los Angeles, Drummond was only making a pit stop home before moving to Chicago. A chance encounter with a devastatingly masculine cowboy in a local bar changes everything. Though several months elapse before Marlboro Man calls her, the spark between them ignites as soon as they start dating. A rancher with deep roots in the land he works, Marlboro Man isn't going anywhere, which means Drummond has to decide whether, to be with him, she's willing to give up her dream of moving to Chicago. By the time Marlboro Man proposes, the decision is made, and Drummond prepares to marry the love of her life and discover what being a rancher's wife will entail. Charming and bright, Drummond's story will be an inspiration to those who despair of finding old-fashioned, lasting love.
I loved her writing style, her wit and how the poor thing despite her trying to remain calm and charming had such embarrassing things happen to her, which makes her even more relateable. It just proves to show that no matter what kind of life we envisioned for ourselves and our future it doesn't really matter because life already has its plan for us. And let's be real, how doesn't love a wonderfully amazing weepy love story?
Highly recommended *****
I'm starting this tonight! Can't wait! :)
