Jessie and Holt’s relationship in How to Catch a Cowboy by Karen Foley, book three in her Riverrun Ranch series is a wonderful and sweet story of two people who care about each other, but one has too much baggage to trust. Jessie Montero has crushed on Holt Claiborne since she was teen. She keeps hoping he will notice her as someone other than the girl who serves him at Rosa’s Cantina; the restaurant she helps her family run. When her grandmother, Rosa-Maria, retires from working at the Claiborne Ranch, Jessie steps up to take over the duties of housekeeper and cook. Now if only Holt would notice her. Holt has never recovered from his messy divorce after his cheating wife only wanted him for his money, not himself. He refuses to get involved in another relationship; especially since most women look at him as only a handsome paycheck. Jessie has always caught his eye and now that she’s on the ranch full-time, tempting him, Holt thinks that if he gets her into his bed it will get her out of his system. Holt knows that with his past he can’t afford to lose his heart, again. The problem is, Jessie refuses to let him go and Holt’s not sure he doesn’t want her to stay. Jessie is definitely the right woman to test Holt’s stubbornness. She’s as determined as he is, only in the opposite way. Holt needs to take a chance on trusting Jessie and her love to heal him. Ms. Foley wrote a wonderful and sweet story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, amusing banter, and charming characters giving Jessie and Holt a chance at love. I highly recommend How to Catch a Cowboy to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

HOW TO CATCH A COWBOY by Karen Foley. This was a sweet tale that captured my heart. I adored both Jessie and Holt. Holt, although a bit stubborn, was truly a good guy - he adored his family and worked hard for all he had. Jessie was a beautiful, independent woman that was in love with Holt forever. The author certainly captured by interest with the way and how these two came to be. In addition to the love that grows between these two, there is also a touch of heartbreak and danger too. A nice combination to fill the pages. Having not read the previous books, I had absolutely no trouble following along and will venture into reading the remainder of the series.

How to Catch a Cowboy by Karen Foley. This is Jessie Montero and Holt Claiborne’s story. Jessie has had her eye on Holt for a long time. Holt likes Jessie too but he hasn’t moved on from things in his past. Jessie and Holt’s characters were fun even though Holt drove me crazy at times. A sweet romance. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
