Do Not Tell Me No is a contemporary western romance that really made no sense when you think about it, and the characters are headstrong and stubborn to the point of being stupid. Additional characters are mentioned then abandoned. Plans made little sense in the long run, and reality went out the window when a stealth helo was introduced.
Cassandra was determined to find her family. She was separated from her father and brother when young. She never saw her father and brother again. Years later, she thought she found her father dead, but her brother was still missing. She was supposed to be chasing a lead in Las Vegas, but a night with a sexy cowboy derailed that plan, and she was quickly called back to Texas... a horse on her ranch may have killed someone... again. Her attempt to reclaim the horse was successful, until a bear sent the horse into a panic flight, and she flew off the horse and went unconscious, only to wake up in a place that's NOT a hospital... and greeted by that sexy cowboy that bedded her in Vegas. What's going on?
Frankly, this book makes absolutely no sense, and feels like disparate scenes stitched together and "voila", a novel. A private security firm with a "silent helo"? What's next? Airwolf? Characters are introduced then abandoned and never mentioned again. Witness security that lasted over a decade, including planting fake bodies for no apparent purpose. Plot lines that don't intersect forced together. And the romance just feels... Forced.
