About this ebook

Will his proposal eventually win her heart?

For rancher Chance Braxton, Josie Monroe was the classic girl next door. He’d fallen early and hard, but because her heart had belonged to his careless and indifferent brother, Chance had been permanently friend-zoned since Josie was a teen. Now Josie’s running her failing ranch all alone, and it’s time for Chance to step up and keep a promise he made to her dying mother – marry Josie and combine their ranches. 

Josie Monroe doesn’t want help or need to be saved by anyone – especially her wealthy ranching neighbor and forever thorn in her paw, Chance Braxton. The serious, way-too-handsome cowboy has starred in too many of her fantasies, but he still sees her as a heart-broken girl. She’s a woman now, and she’s determined to prove everyone wrong: She can save her ranch and rebuild her father’s legacy…alone. 

When Chance proposes, Josie’s problems are just beginning. So why does her pulse kick up every time he rides by and tips his Stetson?

Ratings and reviews

True Blue Cowboy is book number one in the Blood Brothers series by Debra Holt. This is Chance Braxton and Josie Monroe’s story. Josie and Chance were likable characters and I enjoyed their story. Once Josie quit being so hardheaded and Chance got off the fence, they found their happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Interesting romance. Chance runs his own ranch since the death of his father and he has been very successful at it. Josie is his neighbour and she has been struggling to keep the ranch running since the death of her parents. Besides Josie has always had a crush on Devlin, Chance’s younger brother, which was why, she never saw Chance the way she should. But in order to save her ranch, Chance and Josie try to get married and that is when Josie discovers what she feels for Chance. The story moves at a predictable pace and is interesting at times with its own difficult moments between the lead characters as they misunderstand each other in their journey. Overall, a cute emotional read.

True Blue Cowboy reads like a country song. Josie and Chance are a walking heartache with a lifetime of baggage to work their way through. Will foolish pride be the deciding factor for a couple of battered hearts in need of a second chance? Holt aims to wring out every emotion. From heartbreak to hope, she takes a detour at humor, before she reaches her ultimate destination and lays claim to the heart.
