Newly divorced Natalie is driving her adorable daughter, Dallie, home to her parents’ ranch to start over, when her car breaks down. Fortunately, handsome cowboy Jack is just passing and offers her a lift. When it turns out that he’s a ranch hand on her parents’ farm, and they’re going to the same place, everything seems like fate.
Jack Kinsen is a perfect romantic hero. They meet when he rescues Natalie when her car breaks down on the side of the road (in middle of nowhere, naturally). He gives her a diamond necklace on what’s basically their first date, but he can afford it since -- spoiler -- he’s a millionaire who just works as a ranch hand because he likes the work.
Most of the story takes place around Natalie’s parents’ horse ranch, in beautiful rural Texas. I’m a Brooklyn girl myself, but I’ve visited Texas a few times, and I thought this was a lovely setting for the romance. They ride horses, watch sunsets, and eat delicious Southern dinners.
This is the opposite of a page-turner, but in a good way. I didn’t feel any suspense at any time. Despite Natalie’s worries, here wasn’t one moment when I doubted that Jack and Natalie would end up together. I also didn’t think that her evil ex would manage to hurt or kill her (but I didn’t guess how she’d be rescued), so I wasn’t too anxious, even after reading that her horrible ex-husband had escaped from jail. There’s nothing to worry about, just a gentle romantic storyline, with family affection and a lovely setting.
I don’t mean it was too predictable, just that there's no suspense. There’s an interesting, twisting sub-plot with Natalie’s estranged brother, Nathan, as he discovers himself and his role in his family. There was a charming small arc about an actress on the farm to learn to ride for a role, but even the gorgeous star can’t distract Jack from Natalie.
Abundance really is, just as the title says, a warm and endearing romantic story.
