About this ebook

"A fabulous storyteller." —Carolyn Brown, New York Times bestselling author, for Second Chance Cowboy

Nothing mends the heart quite like a cowboy.

Dancer Beth Spence finally gets a shot at her dream—auditioning for the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. But her audition concludes with a torn Achilles tendon and possibly the end of her dance career. When her sister, Delaney, flies her to Meadow Valley, California to recuperate, she is reluctant to go, but out of options. Beth has no idea that Delaney has set her up with a job managing widower Eli Murphy's veterinary clinic while staying in the guest house on his ranch. Beth and Eli's attraction is undeniable, but Beth has every intention of making a full recovery and heading back to New York. Eli has no intention of loving and losing again. Too bad their hearts have other plans.

"Standout supporting characters ably underpin the cleverly plotted romance." —Publishers Weekly for Holding Out for a Cowboy

Ratings and reviews

A beautiful story of love's healing power Eli and Beth are both healing; he's still getting over the loss of his late wife while she's a dancer mending a career-ending injury. Her sister, Delaney, all but tricks her into moving to Eli's ranch to recuperate, leaving Eli no choice but to work with her at his veterinary practice. This is a small town story wherein manipulative friends and family always have the best of intentions and are never wrong about their matchmaking. Eli and Beth still have a long road to their HEA, however. I really enjoyed the return trip to Meadow Valley with all the familiar faces from earlier book in these series, and I was immediately captivated by the strong emotional foundation the author gave to her leading characters. There's a predictability to the plot, but only in a reassuring, angst-free way that lets us know from the start that we'll have a solid HEA by the time all the various issues are resolved. I appreciated the way they find to work out the details of their future without either one of them having to compromise on their dreams, and I have enough experience with pet ownership to know that every word from Trudy is the gospel truth. This is a delightful story, an excellent standalone romance that is a must-read for anyone who's already read any of the earlier books. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

3.75stars- FINALLY FOUND MY COWBOY is the second instalment in AJ Pine’s contemporary, adult THE MURPHYS OF MEADOW VALLEY romance series -a spin off from the author’s Meadow Valley series. This is thirty year old professional dancer Beth Spence, and veterinarian / widower Dr. Eli Murphy’s story line.The premise is honest and impassioned; the romance is charming and seductive; the characters are spirited and charismatic.

I read A.J. Pine's Finally Found My Cowboy as a standalone and it works just fine. Though I have to say, now I really want to read Holding Out for a Cowboy and find out Casey and Boone's story. My heart went out to Beth, with her injury sidelining her dreams. She's so disappointed, but digs deep and overcomes her issues. And Eli is just so sweet and charming. It's a lovely romance. The audio version of Finally Found My Cowboy is performed by Zura Johnson.
