The Problem
At 48, attorney Kori Sarcotti is taking a beating. Her husband is under investigation, the FBI is serving her warrants, and her firm is sending her on road trips just to get her out of the office. But when her grandmother, and woman who raised her, passes away, things go from bad to intolerable.
The Solution
Not long after her grandmother's funeral, Kori finds herself stranded in the small town of Mule Creek, where she meets unsophisticated rancher AJ Crawford. When AJ asks her a question that both shocks and delights her, she admits that her predicament had become The Perfect Holiday.

Mature romance novel
If it wasn't for the typos I would have given it 5 stars. I found it to be very entertaining and the humor was really good. As a single Mom this book helped me understand how men feel when they are dating and how they unexpectedly fall in love. I've never read a romance novel written by a man and the writing style is much different then if it was a woman writing the same story. Refreshing to know we still men out there that are romantic gentlemen.
Second chances
Love this book.... It's a clean love story of second chances... It's a must read... You won't want
To put it down... Then sad when you get to the end... You'll want more of Kori and AJ
The story itself was a 'B' -- good, but not great
lots of errors -- grammatical and punctual. I am not a perfectionist, but I do think when I BUY a book, it shouldn't have 'thought' instead of 'though'. Deciphering that kind of writing is for email and facebook . . . The story itself was a 'B' -- good, but not great.
Sweet easy going romance
I'm going to begin with the cover in telling you my thoughts on this book. The cover was beautiful. It had an air of mystery about it which you feel as you read the book blurb. The cover and the blurb would definitely have drawn my attention in a bookstore and would have had me skimming the first few pages and then tossing it into my buggy.
I enjoyed the history of the characters as it intertwined throughout the book. I was surprised at how poignant this information would become towards the end of the book.
I also enjoyed the how the two protagonists appeared to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. On one hand, you have Kori, a sophisticated woman lawyer holding her own in a man's world, and on the other side, you have AJ, a laid-back country cowboy with a slow drawl. As the reader, you sense that something is going to happen because of the tension sparking between them.
AJ has been widowed for a few years and dipping his toes in the dating scene via the internet. He's just not finding "the" woman out there. Kori, is taking a back road vacation on the advice of her boss, who is really just interested in keeping her out of the office. Her car breaks down and we could say the rest is history, but it's the history that keeps you riveted to the book and turning the pages.
The writing was good. The author did a great job of switching back and forth between the voices. There was great humor and teasing among the protagonists and their friends that lent an everyday conversation feel to the story.
I am giving The Perfect Holiday by Michael Banebrook five stars.
