This was a sweet story with an insecure and somewhat shy hero, something not often portrayed in romance novels and a dimension I really liked. Mason is a handsome and successful rancher, yet he suffers from a serious case of jealousy and has an inferiority complex about his older brother Rockford, a famous hockey player. While the insecurity and shyness of our delectable hero is enjoyable and a refreshing detour from the usual self-assured, cocky and arrogant heroes, his self-esteem problems and his feelings towards Rock (who is just a great guy) are a bit hard to take, even if the situation depicted is totally relatable and credible (while reading I was just feeling as uncomfortable as Mason and hurting for him and his sense of defeat).
I had some problems with the heroine, Tess, also suffering from some insecurity, inadequacy and guilt issues. The lying and its “nefarious reasons” and the lack of ethics when doing her job were upsetting for me, although she redeems herself by the end of the story.
The insta-attraction/lust and insta-sex stories are not my favorite and I agree that this book has its “meh…” parts, although a bunch of great secondary characters (Mason’s family), a not so nice granny (Tess’s) and a promising future romantic and clumsy couple (Colt and Chloe) managed to keep me interested.

I enjoyed this book immensely! The story kept me enthralled to a point that I stayed up all night reading. Jennie Marts has become one of my favorite authors. The chemistry between the characters of Mason and Tees was off the charts. Add a little scruffy dog that that steals the hearts of the reader and the characters. And I sure hope to read Colt and Chile's story soon.

You Had Me At COWBOY is seriously a crazy fun book! I absolutely LOVED this book! Jennie Marts, you are an AMAZING storyteller. I'm going to be looking for more from Ms. Jennie Marts.

This is book 2 in a series and I really enjoy this authors stories and characters. I did like the first book more than this one, because this one seemed slower and had more laid back characters.

This story had some aspects I did not love, for instance Tess's grandmother and how she was scammed. I felt it was crazy and not something that realistically happens nowadays. I felt it was used to create sympathy for Tess and why she gate crashes the wedding and then uses Mason. So those were two aspects of the story I did not love.

That said I did enjoy the writing and characters. I found Mason a wonderful hunky cowboy who was fun and sweet. Tess is a hard worker and while I did not like how she uses Mason, I found her fun and likeable. This is a fun series and this book was as well written as the first book in the series.

I really enjoyed this book. Of course I love that the main female character is a 5'9" not a size 2 female because it hits a little closer to home. Anyways it was a fun summer read!

This was better than the first one and I really liked the first! It had it all...girl meets boy, biy saves girl, girl falls in love with boy, girl lies to boy, boy breaks girl's heart....

There were parts rhat made me laugh our loud. There were even parts that brought tears. There were even dogs! It really did have it all. All I need now is Colt's story.

This book was gifted to me by the author and the publisher in return for an honest review. I give it 👍🏻👍🏻

Loved this book.
Mason has always felt like he is in his famous brother's shadow, but when he meets Tess he feels like she sees him as his own person. But she has a secret and what will happen when he finds out?
Great set of characters, especially the crazy grandmother Mimi.
I am hoping this is a series and there are more books to come!

LOVED this book! I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the Cowboys of Creedence series, and, if possible, this book is even better. I found myself totally engrossed from the very first page and hooked until the very last page. Tess's story (and back story) captivated me and had me rooting for her to get her HEA ending, especially if you could have a chance to have it with Mason, Rock's much lower profile brother. In the past, Mason has been convinced that women were only interested in him to get to his superstar hockey player brother, Rock, so the idea that a woman is interested in him, for himself, is too much to hope for. Then, when Tess's job has the potential to blow up their budding relationship, Mason is convinced he was right all along to not trust women.

This book literally had me flipping pages just as quickly as possible. If you are a fan of the genre, you will love this book. Put this at the top of your TBR list as this one is a must read! The author is on my must read authors' list.
