What Comes After Love at First Sight?

He's born to ranch. She's Broadway bound.

It's a holiday romance. How could it possibly be more?

"Oh my gosh!...I just can't wait to tell my best friend about it! On to book two!!"

Ed Currick's and Donna Roberts' worlds couldn't be any more different – a rancher from Wyoming and an up-and-coming Broadway musical actress on a national tour. What could have been a momentary encounter in early December sparks desire . . . and more.

Amid the decorated trees, the sparkling lights, the beloved music, and the magic of the holiday season in Denver, they spend as much time together as they can, with Donna’s rehearsal schedule and Ed’s commitments at the livestock shows he’s in town for.

She discovers steady gray eyes can burn.

He discovers she’s the woman he intends to marry.

But can there be anything but heartbreak ahead when they have only these few days in Denver before their dreams pull them apart?

Celebrate this opposites-attract romance between a cowboy and a singer/dancer as they find their hearts' desires.

Get Wyoming Wildflowers: The Beginning, the much-anticipated beginning of the western romance saga of the Wyoming Wildflowers series by USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn now!

I enjoyed it

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. I loved the story from the first glance and the pile of luggage until the end. There were several twists that got them to the HEA and beyond. I love that the author took us into 35 years after meeting and showed us that they were still as much in love as they were when they got married. I tried to find the author's books at my public library but was unsuccessful. These books have been out since 2001 it would seem they should be there. I want to listen to all of them but am not keen about spending all of my credits to do so. This book and narrator made me believe that love can happen and endure over time. Great story.

Donna💘Ed! Great Story & Great Audible Listen🎧

I adored this enjoyable & heartfelt story, it is well written & well told. The storylines are interesting and captivated me from start to end. Great character development and chemistry between the leads, Donna and Ed. Donna, a stage actress who is part of the ensemble of a national tour production of “Sweet Charity” and their current stop is Denver. Ed is in Denver for a convention and when they see each he knew right away she would be his wife. The two are from different walks of life, she is on the road, hoping to make more of her acting career and he is a rancher of his family ranch, Slash-C Ranch, in Knighton, Wyoming. But they vow to spend as much time together as they can before she heads to her next stop in San Fransisco and he back home to Wyoming. There relationship is a slow build, Ed is a complete gentleman, treats Donna with respect and kindness. Knowing their time is limited they escalate it and fireworks explode for them. I thought they were great for each other. In addition to to their romance, I loved the behind the scenes action of the touring group. I loved the descriptive glance Patricia McLinn included in her story of what life is like for an actor on the road. I was so sad when they parted ways in Denver but so happy that they can to their senses. I will think of this story when ever I see snowberries. Patricia McLinn, thank you for the great & entertaining story, I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

I listened to the Audible edition, Julia Motyka is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings the characters to life, gives them heart and personalty. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for this great listen🎧

Wyoming Wildflowers: The Beginning
: Patricia McLinn

This is a sweet romance that proves two people from totally different walks of life can find love. They both had dreams, but those dreams change. This is where the story began.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Julia Motyka.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

What did you like best about Wyoming Wildflowers? What did you like least?

I like how we can clearly understand what the two main characters are thinking and feeling. For such a short story there are a lot of characters.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes, I think the behind the scenes of a Broadway musical would be interesting to see.
