About this ebook

"Filled with humor, heart and real love." —Michelle Major, USA Today bestselling author

There's nothing quite like a cowboy.

No matter how swoony the cute cowboy is, romance is the last thing on Carley Chapman's mind. But it's hard to ignore Knox Garrison and the spark of attraction she feels every time he's near. When a water line break floods her building, she's forced to move her salon out to the Horse Rescue ranch, and Knox shows up to help. But things get even more complicated when Carley's no-good ex comes sniffing around and Knox "fixes" the problem by telling him they're engaged...

"Deliciously steamy but still sweet, with a secret at its heart."—JOANNE KENNEDY, award-winning author, for Wish Upon a Cowboy

Ratings and reviews

Rollicking good fun! Hot cowboy cop? Creepy ex-husband? Fake engagement? Goat yoga? Yep, this book has all that and then some - including a calf that thinks he's a dog. As we've seen in the earlier books in this series, these characters are all die-hard animal lovers and I am here for every last bit. Determined never to be left behind again, Carley is trying her best to resist Deputy Knox's flirtations. But when he fabricates a little white lie to shut up her incessantly annoying ex, that starts the whole town clamoring for their romance. It doesn't hurt that he's so easy going and very easy on the eyes, and he's great with all the animals that are her new companions once she moves into one of the bunkhouse apartments at the animal rescue ranch. There aren't a lot of surprises in this story, but the romance is more than swoony enough to carry us along. I always enjoy these trips to Creedence, getting to hang out with the assorted small town characters and watching the hilarious antics of the growing menagerie. The scene where Jillian finds out what's going with her sister was absolute perfection and I've rarely laughed so loud. Carley and Knox have a very satisfying HEA and we're introduced to a few new characters who, I'm hoping, will be featured in their own upcoming book(s). I really enjoy this author's writing style and am looking forward to reading more in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Life can be full of great surprises!! I want to move to the town of Creedence and meet my own cowboy. I have loved this series from the beginning and the stories just get better. Knox and Carley are the perfect match. From their previous heartbreaks that left there marks to them getting together “for real” I couldn’t look away. This story was engaging, realistic, loving and sometimes heartbreaking. And all the crazy, misfit animals in this book was a great addition.

This one is a winner! I loved Carly and Knox's story - from their pretend engagement, to their various animals and animal rescue. They were wonderful together and the author made them come alive on the page. I felt invested in the characters in their getting a HEA ending. Fans of the genre will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list.
