NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A COWBOY
Jessa Mae Love is done with relationships. No matter how tempting he might be, she cannot--will not--fall for a man like Lance Cortez. The outrageously handsome cowboy is practically a living legend in Colorado, as famous for riding bulls as he is for breaking hearts. What would a big-time rodeo star like him see in a small-town veterinarian who wears glasses, rescues animals, and cries when watching rom-coms? Turns out, plenty.

Raising bulls, riding the circuit, and looking after his ailing father--Lance never stands still for long. Yet Jessa catches his attention, and the more she tries to resist him, the more he wants her. When she agrees to move to the ranch to keep an eye on Lance's dad, Jessa tells him they have to keep it professional: no flirting, no sweet talk, and definitely no kissing. But with Jessa now living under his roof, that's easier said than done . . .

Hometown Cowboy by Sara  Richardson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book of the Rocky Mountain Riders series.
Jessa is done with men and relationships. She has been engaged several times only to be dumped.
Lance is the son of her father's best friend. A cowboy and on the rodeo circuit. Trying to win the World title before retiring like his own dad had done. But the fans and media are calling him a has been and he is out to prove them wrong. Lance's mom had walked out on his dad, him and his brothers when he was a child and they never saw or heard from her again. The boys rebelled and got into all kinds of trouble as kids. Now they are separated by circumstances. Will we ever get to meet them?
Jessa rescues animals and has a shelter, it is run down and they need funding.
Lance asks Jessa to move into his dad's place while he is training and goes to the World's rodeo championship. But Jessa attracts his attention and she keeps trying to resist him.
I loved Lance and his family and how they look out for each other. Also Jessa's 3 friends and how they are there for each other. So I am sure we will be seeing more of them in the series.
I received the paperback from Forever to review.

Book Review: First Kiss With a Cowboy by Sara Richardson

In this charming, sweet romance from bestselling author Sara Richardson, can a risk-taking cowboy convince a no-nonsense writer to give him a second chance?

Shy and sensible romance writer Jane Harding's carefully ordered life is crumbling around her. With her latest novel due and her teaching contract at an end, returning home to help plan her best friend's wedding is a welcome distraction. Yet when Jane discovers that the too-hot-to-handle boy who once tempted her is now the best man -- and the rodeo circuit's sexiest bull rider -- her distraction is in danger of becoming a disaster . . .

Toby Garrett is no stranger to risk. But this latest injury could end his rodeo career for good. Thankfully, his recovery at home isn't as awful as he'd imagined, especially when he comes face-to-face with Jane. The kiss they once shared still fuels his fantasies, but when she walked away, he let her go. Now Toby is determined to fix his mistakes. Can this sweet-talking cowboy prove that the passion still burning between them is worth braving the odds?

                        MY REVIEW:

First Kiss with a Cowboy by Sara  Richardson

The first book of a new series and I will continue on with the series.Jane Harding is a romance writer but she doesn't want anyone to know, including her mom. Her teaching contract is up and her new novel is due soon so she goes back home to help with her best friend's wedding. The sexy cowboy she had a crush on and is a bull rider now, is best man in the wedding. He is also living at the ranch her mom owns. He is the handyman and also off the circuit to recuperate. Toby Garrett remembers their kiss many years ago and has never gotten over it. He had broken her heart one night but she had also told him she didn't like him. Now they are thrown together and the tension is back.
These 2 characters were fun to get to know and they need to really communicate better to clear up the air on what happened that one night years ago.
I received this from Forever and NetGalley.

Blog Tour Review: My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant

We are beyond excited to be celebrating the release of Donna Grant's MY FAVORITE COWBOY with you today! MY FAVORITE COWBOY is the third book in Donna's Heart of Texas series and it is available now. Links to purchase your copy can be found below. 

About MY FAVORITE COWBOY: 

New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant rounds up the hottest cowboys in Texas in her latest novel of no-holds-barred passion.

Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses—even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . .

Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey—or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned?


                                                          MY REVIEW:

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Audrey is a vet and works mostly with horses. She is the best in her area and everyone likes her. But she is supposed to work exclusively for 2 ranches and she does volunteer for horses that are abused and rescued.
Caleb is a rancher and has a military background. These 2 meet when she is called to a friend's horse auction as a couple of horses are really sick and she is trying to figure out why and what is wrong with them. Seems that no matter what she does, someone is out to get the horse, the auction house or her.
The friendships that formed in this book were quick and seem to be lifelong. You meet Caleb's family as well. Also both of them have family issues going on that they help each other out with.
I did not read the other 2 books in this series but I do plan on reading them.
Thanks to Inkslinger for sending me this for review.

Book Review: Cowboy Brave by Carolyn Brown

TWO BOOKS IN ONE! AN ALL-NEW CAROLYN BROWN BOOK, PLUS SECOND CHANCE COWBOY BY A.J. PINE.

This city girl's about to get a dose of cowboy charmEmily Baker doesn't rough it - anymore. Born and raised on a farm, she's worked hard to distance herself from that life, thank you very much. But when the seniors at the nursing home where she works beg for a ranch retreat, she caves and heads up to the Longhorn Canyon spread. With one glance at the sexy cowboy who opens the door, she's suddenly thinking a week with him might not be so bad after all. 
Justin Maguire doesn't quite know what to do with the gorgeous woman who shows up on his doorstep. She's all curves and confidence-even after stepping in a cow pile. Too bad she's determined not to fall for a cowboy. But with the help of five nosy, matchmaking seniors, he might just convince her he's worth the risk.
SECOND CHANCE COWBOY Once a cowboy, always a cowboy! Jack Everett can handle working on the ranch, but turning around the failing vineyard he's also inherited? That requires working with the woman he never expected to see again.

                                                              MY REVIEW:

Cowboy Brave by Carolyn Brown

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book of the series so I knew it had to be a romance for Justin this time around. Emily works at a retirement home and when the Fab Five, as they call themselves ask to go to a ranch for a week she calls on Longhorn Canyon. Little do they know she was raised on a farm. And one of the most highly acclaimed farms worth a lot of money. She never lets other guys know that because they always see $ signs. She is also a curvy woman and doesn't think a cowboy will really be interested in her. When she meets Justin there is attraction right away. She doesn't tell him where she is really from or her family.
This book had me laughing so hard because of the antics of the Fab Five who live in the retirement home. The things they got up to on that ranch for the week had me in stitches.
The only person in the book I did not like was Justin's mom. The way she treated Emily because of her size and didn't think someone like her could get anyone so would be out for Justin for his ranch and money. I was appalled by her behavior.
There is also another bonus book by another author in this book but I have not read that yet.
Thanks to Forever for sending me the book for review #Forever #GrandCentralPub
