Quotes
-
“An affecting new memoir…charming and romantic. Riotously funny…Drummond is…sure to have readers in tears and in stitches. In a word: delightful.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Fans of Drummond’s blog and cookbook will eat up this breathless blow-by-blow chronicle of falling in love with Marlboro Man, a.k.a. her husband, and adapting to life on his ranch…Generous dollops of self-deprecating humor contribute a welcome tang.”
— People -
“Charming and bright, Drummond’s story will be an inspiration to those who despair of finding old-fashioned, lasting love.”
— Booklist -
“The Pioneer Woman is perfect reading for Valentine’s Day, whether you’re celebrating a lasting love or still looking for The One. Even the most cynical of readers will be charmed by Drummond’s hilarious story of being won over by a cowboy.”
— BookPage -
“Drummond charmingly delivers her own love story. When she recounts stories of food poisoning during her honeymoon and dancing through livestock poop between her front door and her car, you don’t feel guilty laughing out loud with this fun-loving redhead. Head-over-heels romantic love can endure, and Drummond’s chronicle proves it.”

The Pioneer Woman Listener Reviews

" Loved it!! I have followed her blog for quite a while now and I love her sense of humor and story telling style! While I borrowed this book from the library, I would like to just own it. "
— Charlene, 2/13/2014 -
" This book is really funny! I occasionally look on The pioneer woman's blog or watch her on TV, so it was fun to hear a little about her background. A movie is in the works too - but read the book first! "
— Lindy, 2/10/2014 -
" Really giving it a 4 1/2. Lovely love story with some laughs and some tears. "
— Druie, 1/29/2014 -
" I loved this romance - a true story romance that read like a novel. Quick and easy; my heart went pitter patter. "
— JJ, 1/22/2014 -
" Hard not to be enthralled with a love story that really happened. Fun to listen to her tell her story {I listened via Audible.com} "
— Kate, 1/17/2014 -
" while not a future classic, I really enjoyed this book, perhaps because I dreamt of one day finding a cowboy and living the life as a rancher's wife. While that isn't the path I took, it's fun to read about what "might have been". "
— Tracy, 1/15/2014 -
" I would give this memoir 2.5 - 3 stars. I wanted to like it so much more than I did. I even found myself skimming pages, which I never do. "
— Cindy, 1/11/2014 -
" What might work in a blog does not work in a book. This was repetitive, and the characters were one-dimensional. No one's motivation made sense. "
— Betsy, 12/30/2013 -
" Much better as a blog than a book. "
— Kimberly, 12/22/2013 -
" Ree makes a life that could be so average, very fun and entertaining. A good read! "
— Mollie, 12/12/2013 -
" I read this because I love Pioneer Woman. It was what I expected. "
— April, 11/10/2013 -
" Made me want to turn my husband into a cowboy/rancher. "
— Terri, 9/22/2013 -
" VERY rarely do I put a book down but I can't plow thru this one. I have enjoyed the blog however I don't share her adoration of the Marlboro Man's muscles. "
— Stephanie, 9/13/2013 -
" Totally loved this book. Read it twice. Back to back. "
— Kimberly, 8/27/2013 -
" Though I love Ree & her family, this book was about 100 pages too long. We get it--Marlboro Man made your knees weak. ;) "
— Ma, 6/28/2013 -
" SO MUCH SWOONING. "
— thatShortchick, 6/21/2013 -
" Very entertaining and made me want to keep reading. I hope she writes a sequel, something I rarely (or never) have said in the past. "
— Kathy, 6/5/2013 -
" This was a very pleasant romance story, with some very funny episodes. "
— Liz, 11/15/2012 -
" Ok, I am now embarassed, this was my guilty pleasure. The 'courtship' was closely followed and I was always rooting for Ree. "
— Sandy, 5/20/2012 -
" Cute in a corny sort of way....love Ree! "
— Sara, 4/9/2012 -
" Funny story to read. Connected well because she was at USC during the LA riots and I was right across town. If you're a fan of Ree Drummond, this is a great, quick read. "
— Lisa, 2/25/2012 -
" This book started out all right but quickly degenerated into a lot of the author talking about her clothing and how she and Marlboro Man kissed a lot, and there wasn't much else to it. We hardly learn anything about anyone else but the author and most of the funny stuff wasn't really even funny. "
— Courtney, 12/18/2011 -
" Loved every minute of this book! I guess it was because it was so "true to life". Makes me want to get another pair of cowboy boots and a horse! "
— Kaye, 11/13/2011 -
" Loved this book. Easy read but really entertaining. "
— Lizzy, 10/30/2011 -
" Cute book, easy read, some laugh out loud moments (I loved her wedding present), but not well written. I read it for my book club and that's OK with me. "
— Patti, 7/27/2011 -
" This is the story, a trifle romanticized, of how Rees Drummond (the Pioneer Woman) met and married her husband. I enjoyed reading it. If it were a candy, though, it would be more divinity than truffle. "
— Beverlee, 7/5/2011 -
" The language and plot were a little sugary for me (I got it - the man is hot and perfect. I would have like to have seen some imperfections pointed out). But overall a fun book with several laugh-out-loud moments. "
— Amber, 5/20/2011 -
" I read most of the story on PW's website so really only part 3 was new. The story was decent but I found myself wondering why this story was worthy of a book over all the other love stories there are out there. "
— Jennifer, 5/19/2011 -
" Very cute and fun read. Good to know love stories still exist! I love her style of writing, it's like listening to an old friend. Lots of laugh out loud moments, her book just makes you feel happy. "
— Ami, 5/18/2011 -
" Best biography I ever read!! "
— Misty, 5/17/2011 -
" I do not usually like memoirs, but this one was good. "
— Anne, 5/17/2011 -
" Cute. Entertaining. Had to skim most of it because there's only so many times I can read about her mooning over Marlboro Man. We get it! We get that you find him handsome and strong and feel safe in his arms. "
— Caroline, 5/17/2011 -
" A fun read about how the author goes from being a big city girl to marrying a rancher. "
— Mary, 5/15/2011 -
" I actually really liked it ;) "
— Korbi, 5/14/2011 -
" Cute story. Terrible writing. The entire time I kept thinking, "didn't she have an editor?" So many repetitious phrases, lots of swooning. "
— Carissa, 5/14/2011 -
" Heartwarming story of how The Pioneer Woman came to be and the love story of how she married her "Marlboro Man". "
— Oceandreamer001, 5/13/2011 -
" I love the Pioneer Woman's blog and LOVED this book! What a great romantic story. I may even be in love with the Marlboro Man... "
— Jessica, 5/12/2011 -
" It was exactly Ree Drummond. Her personality and quirks were all in there. Plus some recipes at the end. "
— Kim, 5/11/2011 -
" Many have said there were too many descriptions of his wrangler pants but it is so nice to see two people so in love. A great story that is hard to believe is right in our backyard if Oklahoma. "
