Plots and Pans by Kelly Eilleen Hake

I've read several of Kelly Eileen Hake's books before and enjoyed them. I felt like the story was a little slow in the beginning but picked up quickly once Jessie was back home at the ranch where she belonged. She and Tucker constantly butt heads while waiting for her brother Ed to return. I enjoyed seeing how Jessie turned back to relying on God. Overall, I would read this story again.

Here is a description from the author's website:

Can A Cranky Cowboy. . .

Order dictates Tucker Carmichael’s life—his orders. On a cattle drive, a moment’s hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. The Chisholm Trail is dirty, dangerous, and no place for dainty ladies. That’s just part of why he loves it.

. . .and A Clever Cook. . .

Jessalyn Culpepper’s life is perfectly ordered—by men. By her father’s mandate, she was booted from their beloved ranch for lady lessons abroad. Now Jessalyn has returned home, determined to show them all that a woman can manage everything from cooking to cattle—whether they like it or not!

. . .Stir Up More Than Trouble?

Tucker does his level best to keep his partner’s headstrong sister out of trouble—and he’s horrified when she wants to join the cattle drive. But when they lose their chuck wagon cook, the last thing Tucker wants might be the only solution. . . .

Will God lead two stubborn souls to love along a trail filled with their Plots and Pans?
