Review: A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy by Jen Gilroy

A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy was such an enjoyable story! It is book two in the Montana Carters series, however, I had not read book one and did not have any trouble jumping in and reading this one.

Cole and Mel were successful in their respective careers until accidents sidelined them both. Whereas Mel had already worked hard to move on from her past, and had a new career and a daughter to love, Cole was still unsure about where he belonged and if it was possible to find something he cared about as much as he did the rodeo. Cole went through a lot of physical and emotional healing within these pages. Mel was a large part of that, however, he still struggled with feeling worthy of her.

I really liked the community and supportive family that the author has created in this small town. And the romantic chemistry between Cole and Mel grew very naturally. It was clear that they were good for each other and that Cole could be a wonderful father figure for Mel’s daughter, Skylar.

(4 stars)

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Rodeo is his past …

Is she his future?

After an injury forces rodeo cowboy Cole Carter into early retirement and returning home, he’s drawn to the spunky new animal physical therapist. But as much as he likes easygoing Mel McNeil, the divorcée and her young daughter need stability, not his footloose life. When rodeo calls again, will Cole jump back in the saddle or finally become the man Mel deserves?

From Harlequin Heartwarming:  Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.
