All’s fair in love and war.
With Randi and Buck, it’s hard to tell the two apart…An uptight, self-contained college girl, Randi Becker just needed one thing: a room. Somewhere she could study, and keep away from the things that most confuse and frighten her: people.
Unfortunately, the “nice quiet place” she reserved turns out to be a room in the campus’ most raucous house. A place seemingly designed to make studying impossible, made even worse by the other girls’ non-stop drama.
But then Buck, a fun-loving cowboy whom all the ladies love, shows up…and everything gets much worse.
Buck seems to have it all: friends, fun, and a never-ending line of admirers. But what he most desires is a break. So when Buck spots Randi, he figures she’s a perfect decoy: he can play up a “crush” on her that will take him off the market; buy him some breathing room. And if he can tease her a bit, and get under the skin of the uptight busybody? Well, that’s just gravy.
But Buck is about to find more than he bargained for. Randi’s strong-willed, opinionated, difficult—and maybe just what he needs. And Buck isn’t alone. Soon Randi wonders as well…if the world she wanted is really the world she needs. If her future is nothing more than a diploma on the wall. And if the most important thing in her world isn’t a grade, but the cowboy who’s planted his boots firmly in her heart.
Fans of Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game will delight at this mix of romantic comedy, contemporary romance, and cultures colliding in a campus town with a western flair. Grab your copy today, and fall in love with Buck Up, Buttercup!

Top 10 Food Ideas from Buck Up, Buttercup by Anna Alkire:
- When is doubt, bake cookies, then put most of them wrapped up in the freezer. Use these cookies as peace offerings and bribes, and if they have chocolate, a subtle form of flirting.
- Taco Tuesdays are a thing to celebrate.
- Thirsty Thursdays are deceptively dangerous. Proceed with cocktail nuts.
- If a strapping hunk of a man offers you grilled fish, caught fresh that morning, remember to smile and reward him with many compliments.
- Crockpots are cauldrons of mystery and wonder: dump in meat, dump in sauce, say a spell, wait six to eight hours. Tell your friends to bring the bread.
- When camping with stoners, marshmallows may help them focus their eyes.
- Eat doughnuts when moving.
- Scrappy survival tip number one: learn how to make beans and rice. Then, pat yourself on the back for the rest of your life.
- Go to a farmer’s market and revel in the beauty.
- Encourage men to cook every chance you get. It’s really very sexy.
