Some of Hatcher’s books I love and others are just so-so. Fit To Be Tied seemed so-so and predictable to me.
I’m not a fan of women that want to do everything like a man, and Cleo is a horse wrangler that Sherwood Statham mistakes for a young cowboy. I did appreciate that she was willing to change, but in the end it’s suggested that it’s not good for her to change. She should stay as she is.
I know that women often worked right beside the men, and I believe they can do a good job. It didn’t seem like Cleo had to. It seemed like she just wanted to.
About the book:
Cleo Arlington dresses like a cowboy, is fearless and fun-loving, and can ride, rope, and wrangle a horse as well as any man. In 1916, however, those talents aren’t what most young women aspire to. But Cleo isn’t most women. Twenty-nine years old and single, Cleo loves life on her father’s Idaho ranch. Still, she hopes someday to marry and have children.
Enter Sherwood Statham, an English aristocrat whose father has sentenced him to a year of work in America to “straighten him out.” Sherwood, who expected a desk job at a posh spa, isn’t happy to be stuck on an Idaho ranch. And he has no idea how to handle Cleo, who’s been challenged with transforming this uptight playboy into a down-home cowboy, because he has never encountered a woman succeeding in a “man’s world.”
Just about everything either of them says or does leaves the other, well, fit to be tied. Cleo Arlington knows everything about horses but nothing about men. And though Cleo believes God’s plan for her includes a husband, it couldn’t possibly be Sherwood Statham. Could it?
Their bumpy trot into romance is frustrating, exhilarating, and ultimately heartwarming.

This is interesting. Makes me think of the question, “So are you fit to be tied?”. hehehe. Thanks for doing this review.
