About this ebook

This New York Times bestselling author delivers a "page-turning romance" (Nora Roberts) about a city girl on the run and the strong, protective cowboy who keeps her safe.

Brand Merrick is a take-charge cowboy who considers relax a four-letter word. So when an injury lands him six weeks of physical therapy, he intends to keep right on working-until his grandmother hires a therapist to stay at their family ranch. He's not used to following orders, or slowing down, but Avery Grant has a way of getting him to do things he'd never thought he'd do . . .

Avery hates to admit it, but this super sexy rancher is testing her patience...and her professionalism. She's a born-and-bred city girl, yet she finds herself drawn to the rugged wilderness and the equally rugged cowboy she's here to help. But when a threat from her past follows Avery to Montana, it's Brand who rides to the rescue-if only she'll put her trust in him, and the growing feelings in her heart.Includes the bonus novel Cowboy Rebelby New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown!

Ratings and reviews

My Kind of Cowboy is the first R.C. Ryan book I've read, but it won't be the last. I enjoyed it very much. It was well written, had characters that were enjoyable and the story line kept me engaged. Brand Merrick is the oldest of the Merrick great-grandchildren. When he fell off of his horse and injured his leg, he cut his physical therapy short because he didn't want his great-grandfather, grandfather, father and brothers to have to pick up his slack. While he wasn't totally healed, he's now paying the price and his grandmother has taken notice and taken things into her own hands by hiring a physical therapist to help him out. Something Brand is less than thrilled about. Avery Grant lives is Michigan, but works for a group that lends out their physical therapists when needed, so she's headed to Wyoming to try her hand at helping Brand heal up his leg. Avery is looking forward to the new surroundings since she has a very strained relationship with her father and she's been receiving threatening texts, but the local authorities don't think it's anything to worry about. As Avery starts her time at the ranch, she finds that Brand is stubborn and that she's going to have her work cut out for her, but she's up to the challenge. She isn't afraid to help with chores and that helps to endear her to the family and Brand begins to take notice too. Slowly he realizes that she's there to help him and he allows her to start the therapy. Will there be more that develops between them? I really enjoyed this entire family and the interactions between all of the generations. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series!

Brand and Avery have their work cut out for them. This enthralling story grabs your heart from the beginning with a tragic prologue from twenty years before. When we catch up to the present time, we already know the hurt that Brand is carrying, that his whole family has shouldered, and get an instant feel for how tough this ranching family really is. Avery is summoned to provide physical therapy for Brand's injured leg, and the story deftly weaves a magic spell as everyone in the family benefits from her therapeutic touch. There's a danger that has followed her, though, giving our hero a chance to save her in return. The Merricks are a wonderful, loving family and I really enjoyed seeing so many generations all thriving together. I was swept away by the beautiful storytelling and visual feel of the setting. I highly recommend this to everyone who loves contemporary cowboy romances. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is the first story in the Wranglers of Wyoming series. What I liked best in this romance, was not only the introduction to the Merrick multi-generation family, but the descriptions of the beauty and uniqueness of Wyoming. The story centers around rancher Brand Merrick, the Merricks family oldest great-grandson , and physical therapist Avery Grant, who has come to Wyoming to help Brand . Though there was some action towards the end, though not memorable, it was a low key, sweet romance to be enjoyed in an afternoon of leisure. For me, it was more of a 3.5 stars story. That said, I look forward to the stories of the other Merrick brothers and catch up with the rest of the family. I was entrusted this copy by Netgalley and Forever. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
