Rancho de Amor
Autor Dan Harderen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2020
- A quick-paced, witty, "opposites attract" read, this novel centers around two unlikely individuals' inexplicable attraction to one another and a mystery that one is hiding and the other is trying to solve.
- Location of the story was inspired by the author's real life experiences working as a cowboy on the famous Cojo Ranch, one of two contiguous ranches (Cojo and Jalama) by Point Conception, owned at that time, by the Bixby family. The land was sold for oil exploration but has recently been set aside as a Nature Conservancy property.
- This accomplished screen-writer's debut romance novel is categorized as Romantic Suspense/RomCom/Western Romance. It is chick-flick-style "clean" (level of sensuality is flirty rather than racy.)
- Dan's script writing talent shines in his character development and engaging wit. The humorous interplay between characters is reminiscent of the American romantic comedies like "When Harry Met Sally", "Moonstruck", "Romancing the Stone", "Quigley Down Under" and classics of the 1940s starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, and Cary Grant.

Descriere
A swoony contemporary western romance, Rancho de Amor brings city sensibilities and country values together in a hilarious and heartfelt story of finding love in unexpected places.
In a last-ditch effort to save a New York publishing house facing imminent closure, editor Catherine Doyle travels across the country to the small town of Sisquoc, California, in search of the famous Loretta de Bonnair, an elderly recluse and breakout author of the bestselling romance novel that has the nation in a fervor. Despite her own disappointment with love and misgivings about the novel, Catherine's determined to beat out the competition to offer Ms. de Bonnair a book deal she can't refuse.
But as Catherine wanders the town interviewing the locals, she slowly realizes something: no one has ever seen the mysterious author. Not even the post office has her address. The only clue to Ms. de Bonnair seems to come in the form of a certain handsome blue-eyed cowboy with a penchant for bar fights. But if Catherine wants to save her job and the publishing house, she'll have to get closer to this stranger, even if it means trusting him.
