Fun, humor, family and just the right amount of romance fills every page by a collection of creative writers. Fans of Maisey Yates, Nicole Helm, Jackie Ashenden, and Caitlin Crews have come to expect something amazing, but when penning SWEET HOME COWBOY, they exceeded expectations.
SWEET HOME COWBOY centers around a rather incredulous and dubious idea. Four sisters - Teddy, Elliot, Georgie, and Joey are all around the same age. You might have noticed the rather odd choice of names, but just hang on. It will all make sense. All raised by different mothers and all of them are rather unique, to put it mildly. All sired by the same absentee father. They all share a gruff rancher as their paternal grandfather. Grandpa Jack has been a consistent part of their lives and is adored by all.
Now Grandpa Jack has some health issues, and all four sisters arrive in Jasper Creek to see that he is okay. These four have some rather interesting ideas of their own. Namely to settle down in Jasper Creek. Creating businesses there, and finally being together as a family, is what they have searched for all their lives. In SWEET HOME COWBOY we are treated to four stories, each written by a different author featuring one of the sisters.
First story up stars bee relocator Teddy. Teddy meets rancher Beau because of a bee problem. As usual, Teddy is pragmatic and serious about her bees. Beau finds himself interested in this young innocent woman who at first glance has nothing in common with him. He grew up part of a tight ranch family. Teddy grew up with a single mom and no family at all, at least not until the sisters met when they were thirteen. Respect for family, hard work, and honesty is important. Beau reluctantly answers her thirty dating questions. Teddy can’t deny her interest, but Beau seems determined to maintain space between them.
The next sister up at bat is Joey. Joey is the fixer of things, with a garden to be filled with produce which is her contribution to their business. Joey was raised by a single mom who ran a ranch, is as independent as they come and was taught to keep her nose to the grind. Hollis is also a fixer of things. He experienced the heartbreak of being unable to fix everything or everyone. Hollis is intrigued by Joey. He doesn’t want to fix her. He just looks forward to being with her.
Last certainly not least is Elliot. Elliot is an artist with clay as her medium. She is a bit of a free spirit but when she loves - it is fierce. Elliot is in equal measures attracted and annoyed by her neighbor Colt. But Elliot is instantly entranced by his 12-year-old daughter Katy. There is an immediate kinship with this motherless girl. Elliot has her sisters. They all are fatherless. Elliot is schooling Katy on becoming independent and strong. Now all she must do is teach Colt how to recognize love.
It is with a great smile on my face that I highly recommend SWEET HOME COWBOY in all its glory by four talented entertaining authors. It’s the best feel-good book in I’ve read recently. Expect to smile at the dialogue in SWEET HOME COWBOY. SWEET HOME COWBOY is well-written, with the reader’s enjoyment at the helm.
Book Summary
Four half sisters create the family they’ve always dreamed of in this enchanting quartet from bestselling authors Maisey Yates, Nicole Helm, Jackie Ashenden and Caitlin Crews.
The Hathaway sisters might have grown up apart, but when they agree to move to Jasper Creek, Oregon, to revitalize their grandfather’s farm, it seems a straightforward decision. Until they meet their neighborhood cowboys…
Sweet-natured Teddy has never met a man worth taking a risk on, until now. Tomboy Joey has more affinity with farm equipment than men, until a brooding cowboy changes her mind. Prickly baker Georgie can’t resist the temptation of the most forbidden cowboy of all, and sparks fly between ceramicist Elliot and the grumpy single-dad rancher next door.
The sisters’ feelings are anything but simple, but with the love and support of each other, they discover that a cowboy might be the sweetest thing of all about coming home.
