The Cowboy Takes a Bride by Lori Wilde is the Amazon Vine pick that has reached the top of my review stack. I chose this one because I was in the mood for a traditional romance. Here is the description from Amazon:

Ex-champion bull rider-turned-cutting-horse cowboy Joe Daniels isn't quite sure how he ended up sleeping in a horse trough wearing nothing but his Stetson and cowboy boots. But now he's wide-awake, and a citified woman is glaring down at him. His goal? Get rid of her ASAP. The obstacle? Fighting the attraction he feels toward the blond-haired filly with the big, vulnerable eyes.

When out-of-work wedding planner Mariah Callahan learns that her estranged father has left her a rundown ranch in Jubilee, she has no choice but to accept it. Her goal? Redeem her career by planning local weddings. The obstacle? One emotionally wounded, hard-living cowboy who stirs her guilt, her heartstrings, and her long-burned cowgirl roots . . .

"First off, I'm not naked," he said.

She couldn't help herself from raking a gaze over his amazing body. "You look naked."

"Appearances can be deceiving. For instance, you look stuck up."
