This was such a fun read! It begins with Madison, who lives the high life in New York City, having one of the worst days of her life. She happens upon a psychic that evening and makes the comment that she hates her life and wishes it could all be different. When she wakes up somewhere that is definitely NOT her apartment, she quickly comes to realize she has some changes to make in order to get her old life back. Jax, on the other hand, knows exactly where belongs and loves his life in Montana. He just went through a breakup and has sworn off women, so meeting the daughter of the man his adopted mom is marrying is no big deal to him. Madison and Jax get off to a rocky start, but the more they get to know one another, the more they realize that the chemistry between them is something that can’t be ignored. However, when Jax’s runaway fiance’ shows up, everything they’ve built is on the line. Oh my goodness, this is one of the funniest, laugh out loud, books I’ve read in a while. Painter’s sense of humor is great and the things that happen to poor Madison throughout this book are hilarious! By the end of the book, though, I loved these characters so much, and it was heartwrenching to see them question everything. I ended up loving every funny, quirky bit of this book!
ABOUT THE BOOK
After being publicly humiliated in the worst possible way, New York socialite and Magnolia Hotel heiress, Madison Clark, pours her woes out to his psychic. She is giving a “to-go” bag of calming tea that promises rest and relaxation, but instead Madison wakes up in an unfamiliar crappy apartment with a wallet full of maxed out credit cards and a bank account with a zero balance.
Convinced she’s the victim of identity theft, Madison returns to the psychic shop, only to learn the universe – and the freaking cosmic tea- is responsible for the change. She is now living the (poor) life, and the only way to get her (rich) life back is by righting some wrongs, starting with a reconciliation with her estranged father, who inconveniently is about to get married in Montana.
Cue up the good times, because even though she’s got nothing to wear and a pathetically small amount of bills in her wallet, she has to be at the wedding because there’s no time to waste. But things get even more upside- down when she lands in Montana and is picked up from the airport by the annoyingly attractive Jax, who seems to loathe her at first sight. He’s expecting the party girl he’s seen all over social media, and is taken aback when Madison bounces out of the airport sporting neon overalls and fishing boots. In addition to the many roadblocks of her new life, Madison suddenly finds herself out running cows, competing in beer-chugging competitions while attempting parental bonding.
The more time she spends in Montana, and the more time she spends with Jax, the more she questions her “good life”. Just when things are starting to become clear someone shows up unexpectedly, and all bets are off.
