The Last True Cowboy by Laura Drake

Author:  Laura Drake
Release Date: December 4, 2018






I actually did not expect to like this book as much as I did.  It was refreshing and unexpectantly grounded.  This book started off with childhood sweethearts, Carly and Austin.  Carly has had it up to here with Austin and his rodeo adventures and she is ready for a wedding. Austin is quite ready to hang up his saddle from the rodeo just yet. Carly finally gets a backbone and breaks up with Austin, but in the process she makes a hug mistake? Is it too late for Austin to save his relationship with Carly? Well, let's find out.

You see, Carly and Austin are childhood lovers and Carly is waiting for the life changing question.  While Carly runs her grandparents diner, Austin is a bull rider in his prime.  Carly and Austin are the town sweethearts and everyone in town just know that they will be together forever.  Lately, Carly has been reassessing her life and their relationship and has come to the conclusion that her life is siting still and she is not being taken seriously by the townspeople or Austin.  After a big, yearly argument, Carly and Austin break up for good or so Carly believes.  Ready to come from Austin's shadow, Carly buys her a motorcycle and takes a much need trip out of town where she makes a huge mistake.  When Austin realizes too late that he has lost Carly, his inner battle is raw and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him mature.  The rise and fall of their relationship was inspiring and realistic.  The long, hard road that they had to travel for their relationship added appeal and grit to the story.

On the other hand, Carly as a character annoyed me a little throughout the story, but as I read on, her character arc won me over.  Austin started off immature, but his character gradually grew up .  The pacing was kinda weird because when the story concluded, it seemed unfinished.

I loved this story and it has been a long time since I have read a book that was so down to earth and unconventional.  This story is about growing up and finding your self-worth and this book oozed with girl power.  I give this story 4 stars and I will advise you to go pick up this amazing read.


p.s The title does not make much sense to me. 🤔🤔🤔

One Sexy Mistake by Sarah Ballance

Author:  Sarah Ballance Date Released: November 28, 2016 Genre: Romance Rating:  3 Stars *** If it wasn't for the weird beginning to this story, I would have gave this book 4 Stars.  This story started out really weird for me to say the least,  but it grabbed my attention. I am glad that I gave this book a chance because this story is really sweet.  This book is about two computer hackers who find love on a dating app. Olivia is a computer hacker who was fired from her job because of her program being prematurely released by someone.  To make matters worse,  she is dumped by her boyfriend the next day. Wanting to have a no strings sexy one night stand, she meets Grady on line, whom is also a computer hacker. The beginning is so awkward and stupid, that I almost quit. She meets this guy on line and goes to his house, not knowing whether he is a serial killer or not. Then they proceed to have sex, but it is so awkward and it made m...

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...
