About this ebook

When Jenny Wright’s fiancé leaves her standing at the altar in a Vera Wang bridal gown she can’t afford, she’s humiliated and heartbroken. To have Marietta hero bull riding champ Colton Thorpe witness her shame – makes the rejection even more devastating.

Jenny and Colton grew up in the same rough neighborhood and they both left home right after school to pursue big dreams. Now they’re both back, with Colton as the celebrity chair for the 75th Copper Mountain Rodeo, and Jenny in disgrace.

Sexy, rugged Colton didn’t get to be a national champion by chance. He’s a man that takes risks and goes after what he wants. During the rodeo weekend, Colton makes it clear he wants Jenny. Flustered but flattered, Jenny finds it difficult to resist his charm. But what happens when the rodeo ends and Colton leaves town? Will she dare to dream again?

Ratings and reviews

This is one of those books I can read several times and it never gets old. In fact i have read it now 4 times. One time when it was released, then before book 2 and 3 in the series came out as a refresher for my old mind and then just last night. Folks who know me in romanceland land know that I love Cowboys and I have a thing for Montana and Marietta in particular. This book is the beginning of the series and it just sets the tone. It just says something to me and hey it's got cowboys. WIN WIN. This book had me from the moment I started reading it until the very end. We have a beautiful bride who not only is being stood for all intents and purposes but also is losing her livelihood as well. Snooty Charles was not worthy.. as the saying goes.That jerk of a fiance, well if only I could backhand the man through the computer he would end up in New Zealand that is for sure. BUT enter Colt the cowboy...the long hidden crush. Sizzle, crackle, pop there is chemistry even as she stands there in her wedding dress. That is when you know this is a book that you can not put down. I like the fact that we get to see these two grow back together in friendship and watch it develop into more. The author shows us their past and how it leads into their future. I invite you take a Chance on Love with this couple.

"Take Me, Cowboy" by Jane Porter is book four in the "Copper Mountain Rodeo" series. This is Jenny Wright and Colton Thorpe's story. Jenny is back in Marietta to get married but the groom changes his mind right before the wedding. She flees from the church and Colton is back in town to be the honorary chair at the Copper Mountain Rodeo. The rodeo is celebrating their seventy-fifth anniversary. Colton ends up rescuing Jenny as she flees the church. She has always had a secret crush on him. Colton and Jenny have both experienced hurts from previous relationships. They start spending time together. There is an undeniable attraction and chemistry between them. Will they walk away from this attraction or is it too intense to walk away from? This is an excellent quick read. I love Jane's style of writing. The reader could feel the characters' emotions and visualize the surroundings. This is a flirty, passionate, and heartwarming romance with some steamy scenes! This novella is great for a quick escape. I look forward to reading more books by Jane Porter.

I loved loved this book! Marietta is a town just like my hometown, so it was very familiar and nostalgic. And I love me some cowboy stories!
