My Life with the Walter Boys

Jackie Howard, a girl who has spent most of her growing years in a private girls school loses her New York City parents and older sister in a terrible car accident and moves to live with her guardian on a horse ranch in Colorado. Her guardian has 12 sons—well one of them is her husband and there is a single tom boyish girl—Parker who gets little mention.

Living with 12 tall, blonde, blue-eyed hunks may sound romantic but the sight of dirty boxer shorts in the washroom and on the wearer first thing in the morning? For the reader the challenge is keeping track of all these people. The writer seems to see no difference between a pick-up truck and a car.

A seventeen-year-old Lothario who looks hot, knows it, and flaunts it can be tough to live with. God's gift to women can be just a touch insufferable. How do you cope with girlfriends who would just die for his attentions?

I downloaded this book out of pure curiosity. I continued reading it because it's just darn well written.
