She's Gone Country

Shey Darcy, a 39-year-old former top model for Vogue and Sports Illustrated led a charmed life in New York City with a handsome photographer husband until the day he announced he'd fallen in love with someone else. Left to pick up the pieces of her once happy world, Shey decides to move back home to Texas with her three teenage sons. Life on the family ranch, however, brings with it a whole new host of dramas starting with differences of opinion with her staunch Southern Baptist mother, her rugged but overprotective brothers, and daily battles with her three sons who are also struggling to find themselves. Add to the mix Shey's ex-crush, Dane Kelly, a national bull riding champ and she's got her hands full. It doesn't take long before Shey realizes that in order to reinvent herself, she must let go of an uncertain future and a broken past, to find happiness—and maybe love—in the present.
Jane Porter is a new to me author. Last year I read Odd Mom out and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to reading more of Jane's books and She's Gone Country was an enjoyable afternoon read. Her thoughts and struggles with raising boys resonated with me. I liked her relationship with her brothers and found it true to life that they still treated her like a little sister. I have three brothers and they still look up to me as the oldest.  After reading a few heavy issue books, it was nice to have a quick read with a happy ending book. 

Thank you to Brianne and Hatchette Book Group for this review copy.

I enjoy a quick read with a happy ending. I haven't read this author yet but I have read some good reviews of this one and I'm putting her on my list to try!
