Ratings and reviews

Cheyenne and Cooper’s love story in To Tame a Texas Cowboy by Julie Benson, book three in her Wishing, Texas series is emotional and enjoyable. Cheyenne Whitten was forced to return home to Wishing, Texas after a medical condition forced her to leave barrel racing and the rodeo circuit. But being home with her over-protective mother is stressing her out. Needing to move out and regain her independence, Cheyenne decides getting a service dog is her answer; but the waiting list could take up to five years. Cooper Abbott lose his fiancée two years ago and all he wants now is to rebuild his life and run his veterinarian clinic; living a calm, stable life. When Cheyenne learns that Cooper might be able to help her, she rushes off to find him. Cooper is gobsmacked by this gorgeous, spirited, redhead and is unable to refuse her. As it happens, Cooper had just picked up a shelter dog to test for trainability, Penny Lane, who attached herself to Cheyenne and responded to her cues. Cooper not only offers to help Cheyenne, but gives her a place to live, away from her mom, and a job. Of course, both insist that neither want a relationship as Cheyenne is focused on her health and returning to the rodeo and Cooper’s heart is still healing. However, the chemistry between them isn’t listening, as it is off the charts, pulling them together. Or maybe that’s the magnetism between them. It seems they are perfect for each other, fulfilling the other’s needs. Of course the magical wishing well in Wishing, Texas could have played a part in this love story. Ms. Benson wrote a wonderful and emotional story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing character giving Cheyenne and Cooper a chance to find loved and a future together. I highly recommend To Tame a Texas Cowboy to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This stand alone in the series, is a touching story. Cheyenne Whitten’s life has changed dramatically after she has to give up her career as a barrel racer due to developing seizures. Cooper Abbott, the new veterinarian in town is still not over losing his fiancee due to a brain tumor. But his promise to continue her efforts to help others with seizures is what brings these two together. Aside from the relationship between Cooper and Cheyenne, it’s a story about family dynamics and support or the lack thereof. Of how our childhood and past, does in fact affect us as adults. But also how love and support of someone that truly loves you and accepts you for whom you are, will help you conquer all obstacles. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Thoroughly enjoyed, neither looking for relationship but they both needed each other to move forward in life. Cheyenne needs to move away from her over protected mother and turns to Cooper for help in finding a service dog for her seizures. Cooper needs help in his new veterinarian clinic, so what's the perfect situation of Cheyenne moving in and helping at the clinic. Soon they can't deny the chemistry that they share. A emotional heart warming story of finding love when you least expect. Loved the characters, both with issues that they both must overcome. Loved Penny, the service dog. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. Looking forward to reading the next book. I highly recommend, especially if you are a dog lover.
