Ratings and reviews

ARC for honest review with no compensation The Cowboy’s Surprise Return is book 5 in the Cowboys of Sweetheart Creek, Texas by Jean Oram. Cole Wylder has returned after five long years and needs to build bridges with his family and while doing that he has sworn off women. What he doesn’t expect is Jackie Moorhouse to tickle his fancy. Jackie has had a long time crush on Cole that she believes after all these years it’s now in the past but she wants to be sure before she moves on… Sparks fly, fake dating, mending fences and so much more.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from the author. Great story. Their fake relationship gets to feeling real right away and most of their friends and family are happy about it... most... When it's time to break up it's their meddling family and friends save the day, but oh, it's an agonizing journey to their HEA.

This was Cole and Jackie's story. A very satisfying addition to the series. Cole and Jackie have chemistry that lights up the pages. They go from fake to break-up to engaged in record time yet it doesn't feel rushed or unrealistic. The conflict they face is something out of their control which makes it especially poignant. I was happy that Cole finally got things worked out with his family concerning him leaving 5 years ago and I finally got answers to all my questions. I've really loved this series. I mean, it's written by the talented Jean Oram and it's cowboys! How could it be anything other than awesome!
