Angie Johnson wants nothing more than to keep her parents' struggling Idaho farm running, maintain her career as a NICU nurse, and find a man to marry before her father passes away from cancer. Unfortunately, even if she had time to meet someone, the online dating world is full of dead ends. That is, until she meets Daniel Smoot, a man ready to settle down on her timeline. Unfortunately, in order to reel him in, Angie may have told him a little white lie: that she, who is afraid of heights, is very into extreme sports.
Remington James the Third has his own set of problems, and finding a woman is not one. He's in town to convince Angie's parents to sell their land to his family's development company. In order to get on their good side, he takes a job at the farm and volunteers to help Angie snag Smoot by training her in extreme sports and the intricate art of seduction. What he doesn't plan on is falling for the woman whose life he's been ordered to uproot.
A wholesome romance about choosing love over your bank account, Extreme Romancing in Idaho will steal your heart.

This book had some potential. However, approximately 80% of the book, the FMC was in a relationship with someone other than the MMC. And the two were never actually in a relationship and i feel like that is a disservice to these fun characters. I also hate second hand embarrassment from books, and I almost DNF'ed this book because of that. But I'm glad I powered through. The strengths of this book are the familial relationships that really created this homey vibe to the book. I had a hard time keeping the other side characters straight though.
The relationship between Angie and her parents is heartwarming and the love for her family shines through in the writing. I wish we had gotten more scenes with the parents in them.
This is a nice small-town, farm-life romance that I think some readers will really enjoy.
