On a trip west to save her ailing sister, Greta Nilsson is robbed–leaving her homeless and penniless. Struggling to get his new ranch running, Wyatt McQuaid is offered a bargain: the mayor will invest in a herd of cattle if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying . . . and the mayor has the perfect woman in mind.
My Thoughts:
I genuinely loved this book! It read like a Karen Witemeyer novel (and y’all know how much I love those), but with a bit more angst and a bit less humor. If you enjoy historical romances, especially featuring cowboys and the marriage-of-convenience trope, you certainly don’t want to miss this one!
I couldn’t put this book down and finished it in a day. The stakes were high, the tension was fantastic, and the sparks flew right off the page. My goodness. Greta and Wyatt were infuriating and easy to love and I couldn’t quit their story if I tried.
There are other beloved characters, like Judd who poured out all kinds of wisdom at just the right times, and Astrid who made sure there was never a dull moment. And there are villains who play their part well. This book kept me on my toes and I can’t wait to read more in this series!
A Cowboy for Keeps is out now, so hurry and get your copy!

Wyatt. My goodness, Mr. McQuaid has good intentions and the best heart. He’s believed lies about himself for far too long, but he receives instruction well and learns from his mistakes. He’s a cowboy who loves his woman. How dreamy is that?
