The Rodeo Cowboy's Baby Heidi Rice- The 79th Cooper Mountain Rodeo #5

Description:

What happens at the rodeo… Doesn’t always stay at the rodeo!

A year after her marriage has crashed and burned–along with her dreams of becoming a mother–Irish newspaper columnist, Evie Donnelly, is not impressed with her editor’s suggestion she head down to Marietta to find some ‘new meat’ for her dating column. With her confidence as a woman at an all-time low, surely the last thing she needs is to risk hooking up with a rodeo cowboy?

Despite a troubled past as a foster kid, call roping champion Flynn is a man who adores women. Maybe he doesn’t do commitment, but he does do good times and he is only too happy to help when he discovers a smart, funny and beautiful but undeniably fragile woman behind Evie’s tough exterior who is in desperate need of his own personal brand of sexual healing.

But when the rodeo is over, Evie and Flynn can’t forget those three stolen nights together in Marietta–especially when their wild, wonderful ride turns out to have even more unforgettable consequences.


My thoughts on the book:

I have never read anything by this author and seriously I want to go grab another book from her if they are all like this. She has a way of getting to the heart of the matter and that was very much through out this book. My heart broke for Evie she has such and amazing story. I can also say once Flynn told his story I could see why the author wrote these two characters so perfectly, just two broken souls each searching for something but not wanting to much from either. I will say that since I have read Flynn's story I want too read his siblings stories in hopes that they too find there happily ever afters. This book ended the series perfectly it totally summed up all the other books and in the end if left me wanting so much more and also I fell in love with the characters all over again. The book does have strong and adult language and scenes.

The Cowboy's Last Rodeo Jeannie Watt- The 79th Cooper Mountain Rodeo #4

Description:

Shane Marvell's career as a rodeo rider is ending far too soon. He doesn’t have a plan B, so during his last season, he’s all in, determined to win as much prize money as possible--even if it means riding injured and taking more risks than he should.  

Ella Etxeberri has always played it safe, so when her life still takes a bad turn despite her caution, she wonders if it isn’t time to see what she’s been missing. While researching risk behaviors in rodeo riders, she meets Shane Marvell, a cowboy who merits additional study of the personal variety.

Just as Ella is hitting the point to embrace risk, Shane is pulling back. He knows Ella’s all-in approach is born of curiosity and whim. He’s not what she wants forever, and perhaps Ella is one risk he can't allow himself to take.


My thoughts on the book:

Ella sets out too make a name away from her family and finding herself, so she sets off on an adventure. Shane has one more season to prove himself because he has too retire. So he's out healing his body and his heart. Can Ella and Shane have one more bang of an adventure?

For most of this book I felt like this should have been the first book in the series, it seems to really lead up to the 79th Rodeo so unlike the other books in the series it did not coincide with the rodeo. However towards the end of the book it does mention big points from the other books in the first part of this series, so be for warned and it does also catch up with the Copper Mountain rodeo.
 I really also enjoyed how Ella was this strong independent person yet still trying to find herself.  I also like how this wasn't necessarily one person chasing the other but both chasing a dream and trying to find out what they wanted to do when they "grow up". I however felt like some parts of the book did dragged and the book did start off a little slow. The book does have adult language and situations but overall as I have read every book so far in this series I would recommend this book as it seems to tie things together and makes the other books make more sense.

Cowboy Come Home Sinclair Jayne- The 79th Copper Mountain Rodeo #3

Description:

Rodeo cowboy Boone Telford feels like he’s running out of time to make his mark. By his age, his father was an All-Around-Cowboy multiple times and his siblings are all highly accomplished in their fields. Boone vows that this is his year to stand out and finally be a champion as long as he remains focused, but a beautiful masseuse he met on a quick detour to the beach has given him a glimpse of a happy life that doesn’t involve buckles or prize money. Is loving Piper and settling down on his family’s Montana ranch giving up his dreams and destiny? When he pulls into his home town of Marietta, he knows it’s now or never, and he probably needs to let Piper go.

Masseuse Piper Wiley is doing the one thing she swore she never would–following a man who's chasing his career from town to town. The daughter of an Army colonel, Piper’s lived all over the world, but has always craved permanence and belonging. Meeting Boone was unexpected and powerful. Love at first sight. But can she convince her cowboy to finally come home and make his mark with her?


My thoughts on the book:

All Piper ever wanted was family, and too belong too someone. When she met Boone she thought he was everything she ever wanted, only problem is she needed to either convince him or show him how much he could be everything she wants and needs. 
The author could have gone two ways with the way she portrayed Piper, she could have portrayed her as a clueless, helpless, codependent damsel in distress, but instead she made Piper a fighter, fearless, independent women with a good head on her shoulders while making her soft kinder spirit with a big tender heart. The chemistry in this book jumped off the pages they did not lack in that at all. While the story was a fun read I wish it was less sex and more story, it seemed Piper and Boone's relationship was all sex and nothing else for most of the book and when they finally got to the heart of the matter it seemed rush. This book does have strong adult language and situations.

The Bull Rider's Return Joan Kilby- The 79th Cooper Mountain Rodeo #2

Description:
No good deed goes unpunished...

Rough rider Cody Starr relishes his reputation as the bad boy on the rodeo circuit. When he impulsively leaves his prize money as a tip for a struggling waitress so her little boy can get a heart operation, Cody keeps quiet about it, knowing he’s only atoning for past sins. His good deed is outed when Kelly Reid drives across three states to thank him in person. Despite the fact that Kelly forces him to confront his past and question everything, Cody starts to fall hard for her. 

Single mom Kelly Reid thinks Cody is a Hero with a capital H. She believes in Cody, but she knows that nothing long term can come of their intense attraction until he believes in himself. Is Cody the love ‘em and leave ‘em guy he claims to be or could he possibly be the man of her dreams?


My thoughts on the book:
When it seems like there is not hope for Kelly and her son some one does something super special and she knows she could never repay him. But when she seeks him out to thank him things take a turn. Can Cody open his heart to Kelly and her son or will the trip be for nothing?
I thought this story was super sweet love story over all. I really like both Kelly and Cody, but I am not a fan of how she seemed to "chase" him. I found her a strong independent women one moment and then the next she seemed almost co-dependent. I loved Ricky and how no matter what he was faced with he had this bubbly personality about him that truly seem too add a whole other element to the story. I also loved how close Cody's family was and the feeling of belonging that just jumped off the pages. I wish there was more of a follow up on one of the characters. This book does have strong language and adult situations. I hope there is more to come from Sweetheart there seems like another great community like Marietta.  I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

The Cowboy Meets His Match Sarah Mayberry- The 79th Cooper Mountain Rodeo #1

Description:

All Cassidy Jane Cooper wants is to fulfill her dream to compete in pro rodeo. CJ knows she’s going to have to work harder and smarter than everyone else to prove herself in the traditionally all-male saddle bronc competition. That means she shouldn’t look twice at handsome, charming cowboy, Jesse Carmody. She needs to focus on the competition, not one of her competitors. If only he wasn’t so damn hot…

Jesse Carmody thinks he’s seen it all–until CJ’s arrival throws him for a loop. She’s tough, sexy, and challenging. Jesse quickly realizes he wants to know a whole lot more about this intriguing woman. When CJ faces ugly opposition from others on the circuit, Jesse is there to offer a friendly hand–and more, if she wants it.

Between her trials in the arena and fighting to get the other riders to respect her, CJ knows getting involved with Jesse is the last thing she should do. But she can’t seem to keep away. Which leaves her with a choice–the man of her heart, or the career of her dreams? Or can she have them both?


My thoughts on the book:

CJ has something to prove and she has no problem proving it. I mean what could go wrong with a women taking on a bunch of men in an only man sport. Jessie is immediately captivated by CJ and when he gets off on a bad foot now he just needs to make her see he's not all that bad.

CJ had no problem holding her own at all and she also had this softer side to her that you could really relate too. I loved, loved her and Sierra it was seriously like two peas in a pod and more like sisters instead of new friends. I felt like Jessie was one of those good guys that finishes last, but also is broken and is dealing with some deep stuff. I didn't enjoy how this whole booked seemed that everything was built on sex, while the chemistry was super explosive I just felt like it might have been a little better without so much. That being said I did really enjoy the relationship between the Carmody's and how they were there for each other even thought there were other things going on.
