About this ebook

Love strikes when it strikes, right?

Yeah right. I never believed that and planned to move on…

So I went to pick up my foster kid I decided to adopt. I had the papers, but I hadn’t expected the cowboy that gets in my way.

Carter had been best man at the kid’s parents wedding.

And until recently he’d been overseas, serving the country.

And my new daughter prefers his ranch.

I should just leave. The caseworkers have no clear answer for me. But those kisses under the bright moon send sweet tingles on my lips.

And the boots he bought me are wanting to knock with his.

None of this was planned. But I’m stalling to flirt and staying to find out what happens next.

But I’m not ready to put my romantic heart on the line, right? I never saw Carter coming and never imagined what happened next.

Ratings and reviews

Good Entertainment! This is another novel in the Steel Sisters series. I really enjoy learning about a whole family. I enjoy the connected threads from one story to another; the overall continuity of the series. This story was original, unique and realistic. The characterizations were all clear and easily discernible from one another. The story line was one of tragedy and the main male and main female characters were struggling to contain their personal grief in order to best help the child who was left an orphan. The main female character was a very straight forward person but she did have a poor self-image. The main male character was impacted by past traumatic experiences and as a result was very hard on himself. This was a unification of family coming together under traumatic life circumstances. I must admit that I had a crying `good time` during some parts of this novel. The ``feels`` definitely abound in this novel. I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.

Carter and Ridley met for the first time at their respective best friends' wedding. Ten years later their best friends died in a car accident and Ridley and Carter are named guardians of their young daughter, Chelsea. Wicked Cowboy was enjoyable and easy to read. There were some adult words and situations but overall fairly tame reading. This book is a sweet romance and is book 4 in the Steel series but can be read as a stand-alone. If you want to get lost in a feel-good contemporary romance, Wicked Cowboy is the book for you.

Ridley and Carter are both strong characters and when their friends are killed in a tragic accident and they are left joint custody of their friends daughter they have to find a way to make it work. They both have to acknowledge their hidden feelings before they can get their HEA.
