Description from the publisher:
I had my life figured out.
Engaged to a successful man.
About to make partner at my firm.
Bought a high-rise apartment in downtown Dallas.
And then, poof, it’s all gone. Now, like in some cheesy romantic comedy, my car has broken down in the pouring rain on my way to “find myself” in The Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Cue hot guy coming to my rescue and changing my tire. This is the part where we flirt and have a meet-cute, right? That’s how it works in romance novels, and I should know—after all, I’m coming to Texas to write my own cowboy romance. But nope. This sexy cowboy lights into me about not being prepared for the country roads and how inappropriate my high-heeled boots are.
Little did I know, Jason Jenks would tilt my world into a new dimension with his sinful smirk and his bad attitude. Every time I turn around, he’s there to reluctantly save the day. And every time, I think there may be something to that spark we ignite. But there’s a reason the majority of country songs are about broken hearts. The closer I get to this man, the closer I get to learning the truth about cowboys.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE TRUTH ABOUT COWBOYS is the first
book in the Sweetwater series. Each will
stand on its own.
Does anyone remember Dudley Goodwright? Nell?
Snidley Whiplash? When I was a
child, we would sum up the old cartoons by using a blue bow and holding it
under our nose (Snidley’s mustache), “You must pay the rent.” Then at the back
of our heads, (Nell), “But I can’t pay the rent!” Repeat:
“You must pay the rent.” “But I
can’t pay the rent!” Then, we would hold that bow at our neck (Dudley), “I’ll
pay the rent.” “My hero,” Nell sighs.
This story reminded me of those old
cartoons, with a few twists. After all,
it’s been nearly 100 years since those days of the Canadian Mountie and his
beautiful beleaguered femme. Jessica is
no wilting Texas rose; she’s a former divorce attorney shark turned author. Though Jason saves her from mud and mice, she
is as willing to support his life and dreams as he does hers.
I don’t normally love the tormented I
love you-I hate you type of relationship beginnings. Okay, maybe hate is too strong of a word, but
denial is all over that ranch! Thank God
for one matchmaking, meddling, cookie-baking grandma who knows more than she’s
let on to her ex-baseball playing, handsome as heck, cowboy grandson.
I have a feeling the next book will
be about Allen and Debbie. At least I
hope it is. I’m looking forward to
learning more about their story and their happy ending.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
