GRR Reviews Whitewater Wooing (River's End Ranch) by Caroline Lee

Whitewater Wooing is a short novel that you can easily finish without major angst and left with the warm fuzzies. It's a relaxing read.

Will Weston had to get his Idahoan family "River's End Ranch"'s aquatic program (rafting, kayaking, etc.) running properly, or he may be written out of the will. Being an outdoorsy guy, he dreads sitting behind a desk, so he sets out to hire a temporary manager to get things into shape... and he found an "Elliot Redfern" who was perfect for the job. Except... Elliot turned out to be a gorgeous blonde "Ellie" (blame her parents' southern traditions) who just left LA and needed a bit of a break. Will found Ellie utterly fascinating, and Ellie found Will gorgeous... and both are in love with the natural beauty of Idaho. But can she really stay, if she has a life back in LA?

This opposites-attract tale works out well enough, and the expiration date on the relationship does keep things rather tense, esp. near the end, when both are basically forced to acknowledge their feelings for each other.
