I couldn't stand either main character. The blurb says that when January meets Brecken "it's clear he's different," but he seemed like so many other men in romances. Unfortunately, this is a pass for me.

Cute but predictable story. Typical CEO who can't break his ties with his country past. He hires January to help him organize his childhood home to get ready to sell it. Of course she manages to get him to see the ranch through a fresh set of eyes. For a CEO, I will say he seems to have a TON of free time on his hands spending days at the ranch and leaving the office whenever he wants.

The story that has nothing with cowboy but is about hot successful CEO Brecken and January girl who is searching her path under the sun. They meet on her birthday and attraction is instantly, and when Brecken finds out what January does he finds a solution for his ranch and for the girl. At first January fight the attraction but in the end is too strong and they start a very passionate affair. But it seems that history is repeating and Bracken doesn't want to make the same mistake that his father did. January was interesting and well-developed likable. But Bracken is the one who surprised me I expected more from him he was strong in one the real alpha male but when it came to dealing with his past and Nadia he was weak and didn't know what to do just surrendered to the alcohol. In the end, he comes to his sense and does the right thing.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

The first book I've read by Rebecca Jenshank, and I can probably say it wont be the last. I enjoyed the storyline, it wasn't centred around the sex which I find happens a lot in books like this. Brecken is a brilliantly written gorgeous man. I liked January as well, I thought she was a great woman. She's a stronger woman than I could be in her situation. A great read, a great storyline and well written

Brecken Blackstone owns a very successful software company. He has been focused on building his career and he has no close friends. Brecken had a falling out with his dad 18 years ago and never went back. His dad recently passed, leaving him the ranch he grew up on. His emotions are all tangled up and he is floundering on what to do with it. Now in his late thirties, he's wondering what's next for him.

January Lyle grew up in politics. Her dad is a Senator. She didn't like the plastic, superficial lifestyle and wanted far away from it. She struggled in college trying to figure out what she wanted to do and went from job to job trying to find her place in the world. She eventually discovers she has a knack and love of organizing. She also helps out her best friend and roommate, Michael, at his bar. I loved Michael.

January and Brecken meet at Michael's bar on her birthday. Brecken's last minute office party disrupted Michael’s plans to celebrate her birthday. Brecken ends up hiring January to clean out and organize the ranch to get it ready to sell. Mr. I don’t have time or interest in relationships finds himself inexplicably drawn to her and finding more ways to spend time with her.

Couple of things had me raising my eyebrows. Brecken has been sleeping with and going to social events for an entire year with Nadia. She got to pick the events they went to and he took her to all his business dinners. Even though he’d told her it was sex and social events, he didn't think after that amount of time she'd be attached or have a problem with him tossing her so easily and quickly to the side? Seriously? He worked with his VP very closely for the last 5 years and knows absolutely nothing about her or her personal life? Both of these things had me questioning if I was going to like him. His constant and consistent wooing of January began to win me over and made me think he was sincere in his pursuit of her. Then, BAM, the expected conflict happens and I want to smack him all over again. Eventually they figure it all out to get their HEA.

Discussion of birth control but no discussion of sexual health of either party before having unprotected sex.

Several dangling romantic lines lead me to think there may be more books in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.

Brecken Blackstone is your typical billionaire. Well known, committed to nothing but his company but has the disposal of women as his beckon call when needed. So when he meets January Lyle, he knew she was different.

Brecken was just the type of guy that she tried to stay away from. She grew up with her father dragging her through business meeting and galas. But there was something that kept drawing her back to Brecken. The other problem though is that he is ber boss… and so she really should stay away. The chemistry though between the two of them is through the roof and once they passed over the line, it was hard for the two of them to stay away from each other.

But just as they thought things were going their way.. along comes Nadia.

I love Brecken… dirty talking, gorgeous and knows what he wants. January was fiery and fierce and could stand up to Brecken. Definitely pick up this book! It’s a fun quick read from an author I love.

I received a complimentary arc from NG for review

Brecken meets January at her friends bar (she helps out a lot there) and when he finds out she is a professional organizer, he hires her to organize his boyhood home/ranch. They really hit it off and January tries to resist but Breck works hard to romance her.

One of the big issues in this story is Nina, who is Breck's assistant. She is also his casual sex partner. Once he meets J he likes her a lot and he uses Nina because he cant have J. I HATED THAT!! The fact that as he gets romantic with J and claims he is single he never mentions NIna at all. I HATED. At times I felt he cheated because he is not honest about that from the beginning. It would be different if she was not his assistant but she is there constantly.

Another main plot of the story is how betrayed Breck felt when he discovered he had an older brother, who he grew up with but thought was the housekeepers child. Its a complicated part of the story but I hated how Nina tapped into that and used that against him.

I mostly enjoyed this story because January is this amazing heroine. She really made this entire book and like Breck I could not resist her either.

4 1/2 Star Review......

Mister Cowboy is my first read by Rebecca Jenshak, but it certainly won’t be my last! A fabulous story that details the unexpected dilemma of choosing between a wealth of responsibility and the ache in your heart; this emotionally charged story is sure to have readers glued to their seats.

Brecken is adorable from the moment you meet him, with his suave sophistication, gorgeous smile, and sweet sense of humour; he is everything a woman could possibly want. And let’s not forget the effervescent January Lyle. A spirited, sassy and refreshingly honest woman, who lives a somewhat, undefined existence.

Separately, these characters have so many wonderful traits, but together they are compelling. Their chemistry is combustible, and will have you reaching to ramp up the AC, but they are light-hearted, sweet and just plain loveable too.

Ms Jensahk has written the perfect balance between love and angst, while providing readers with a great plot and an engaging support cast. I can’t wait for the next book!

Sweet, endearing and charming, Mister Cowboy is a delightful read with great characters and an alluring storyline. I will be reading more by this author and recommending this book to readers

An enjoyable story with characters who are engaging and entertaining. The dialog is fast moving, drawing you in from the first chapter. The story itself moves quickly...I'd formed an emotional attachment to Brecken and January and almost felt as if I had an investment in their HEA...that's' just how believe this author creates her characters.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

January meets Brecken one night in her friends bar. She intrigues him, and he hires her to sort out his family ranch ready to sell.
I liked that the chapters were from both main character's point of view, so you knew how they were both feeling.
An enjoyable and fast paced read.
