Real Life Harlequin Romance

One of the websites I enjoy visiting is Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. Truthfully, I don't understand a lot of what goes on there, since they seem to love electronic books and I prefer paper. My two favorite features are their reviews, especially when a book gets a bad review, and HaBO.
I needed my daughter's help to figure out that HaBO means Help a Body Out (Not really, that's just how I like to say it in my mind. You should be able to figure out which word I changed from the name of the site.). What happens is that someone remembers a romance they read many years ago and wants to re-read it but can't remember the name or author. It is interesting to see what part of the story stuck in their mind. Then other people try to help them out.
A recent edition of HaBO seeking help finding a book about a rancher and a vegetarian, had a comment with a link to this true story about an actual rancher and a vegetarian. It is quite long, but I have been enjoying it so much and thought you might, too. Does it give the ending away to tell you that the story is posted in installments on her blog The Pioneer Woman?
