How do YOU rate this book?
Abby Clark, a vegetarian, punk rock back-up singer and city-slicker gets kicked off the band tour bus in the middle of nowhere, also known as Sentinel, Wyoming.
Stuck with nothing but a talent for cooking and the singing voice of an angel, she manages to disturb a very cranky, cold-hearted bear, um, Baer.
Joe Baer, a sexy Wyoming beef rancher. He has a nasty ex-girlfriend, killer blue eyes, a ranch mortgage that’s due, and a past that even he never suspected. Just when it looks like beef might be what’s for dinner, the “Earl of Country Music” steps into the picture. He’s a sexy vegetarian with a killer smile and connections that could launch a stellar-career for Abby.
Snow, tractors, country superstars, an unforgettable rodeo, and a tornado named Abby, will bring these "baers" out of hibernation.
EXCERPT
Two steps toward Joe and her foot slipped. Her left knee crunched against the running board of truck and her right knee crunched into his groin. Her flailing hand caught his coat pocket, ripping it off in one quick motion. Joe's head snapped backward from the sudden impact to his groin. His head slammed into the steering wheel, smacking the truck horn. The horn didn't stop when Joe's head came back up.
Abby pulled herself off his chest and out of the truck. Her knee hurt like hell. She leaned against the fender.
The horn was loud, very loud, like a hoarse goose -- and it didn't stop.
Joe limped to the front of the truck, and raised the hood. The horn was still blaring, the snow was falling heavier, and George and Margaret were staring out the café window.
With an angry yank, Joe pulled a wire that stopped the horn. Peering at her from under the safety of the hood, he shook his head. "My barn, my nuts, my truck -- are you planning on wrecking anything else in my life?" He slammed the hood down. Globs of snow plopped onto the parking lot. He pulled the earring from his pants pocket and let it fall onto the snow-crusted truck hood. Abby yanked it off the hood and stomped into the restaurant. His truck started and he drove away.
"Debut author Linda McMaken shines with her contemporary romance set in the plains of Wyoming... Readers will enjoy the way that the chemistry between them starts as a slow flame that gradually builds up to a four-alarm fire, making the progress of Abby and Joe's relationship very believable. The pacing of the story is top-notch and there is an abundance of conflict, which will keep readers turning the page."

"With the right mixture of country boy swagger and city girl antics this book will have you laughing, crying, and at the edge of your seats until the very end. I personally can not wait for the next story in this series. This author has cowboys and small town acceptance down to an art and I personally HIGHLY recommend this book!"

"I absolutely loved this book! I loved Abby from the beginning of the book, punk rock and all. The chemistry between Abby and Joe was fun and made me laugh out loud. I love how the author added a little mystery to the book and brought her villains to life. Plus it doesn't hurt that I LOVE cowboys! This made me want to move to a ranch!!"

"Do not read this book in public... You will seriously embarrass yourself from inappropriate laughter that might induce snorting (or worse) sorts of reactions. Seriously, this book is hilarious. Abby is a fish-out-of-water, and Joe Baer is the perfect foil for her. I can't wait to read more from this author, because this story kept a smile on my face from the first page to the last. Or screen. Whatever. Great reading. :)"

"Want to laugh, smile, cry a little and sigh happily a lot? Then you need to read the debut novel by Linda McMaken, The Baer Truth...I love an "opposites attract" story and this one delivers. Abby and Joe are nothing alike, but when they get together, be it to love, fight, or just share the same page, the sparks fly! The writing flows well. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I had to know what would happen and how much Abby would manage to get under his skin. I loved the sprinkle of mystery and the loads of laughter in these pages, too."

"I am not sure the last time I have laughed out loud so much while reading a romance story. It got to the point that my husband even started to ask if I was ok. Baer Truth is one funny and heartfelt story. Ms. McMaken does a wonderful job in telling a story that not only makes you laugh but also makes you want to cry when a certain Baer acts like a bear. I love the idea of a vegetarian suddenly in the land of beef and more beef."
