Just as good as the movie, Mar 18 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
I'll admit, I'm one of those people that see the movie first, then read the book. Although this book was published in 1996, the movie adaptation was not made until 2003, shown on the Hallmark Channel. It starred Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy in the lead roles. I have always been a true romantic at heart and ever since I saw the movie last month I've wanted to read the book. Finding such an old book was hard but I am thoroughly glad I did. Zoey is a strong career-minded woman who wants to get married and have a family. Her reluctant boyfriend challenges her into answering an ad for rural single men. She ends up on a plane to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and meets Tyler Ross, a rancher who is not all that thrilled at meeting any female, let alone one from New York City. He has his own inner demons he's dealing with. Zoey is not thrilled either, but the beauty of the land keeps her there along with free roaming mustang horses. There are a few bumpy roads but once you finish reading this book you'll believe the sometimes life doesn't always turn out the way you planned and love can happen more than once in a lifetime.

This book is not at all as clean as the movie "Straight from the Heart", Sep 2 2007
By Liese A. Thomas "swimmom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
I absolutely loved the movie "Straight from the Heart," so I decided to track down the book on which the movie was based.
The book GREATLY disappointed me in its use of more than a few swearwords and in its gratuitous description of premarital sex. (I had to skip over about half of a chapter at one point.)
The plot of the book and that of the movie were close, but the movie greatly cleaned up the language and the extramarital sex references which abounded in the book.
My recommendation: If language and extramarital sex bothers you, stick to the movie.

The book straight from the Heart, Nov 2 2010
By Kay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Straight from the Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the movie and wondered if there was a book, sure enough I got on the internet and found it. The book was awesome, very much like the movie, with a few more details.
