A promising start to the Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. The Cowboy's Forgetful Bride is a sweet romance with good characters and an interesting storyline. I look forward to meeting the other brothers in the books to come.

The Cowboy's Forgetful Bride by Leslie North is my first read by this author.
This is a short and fast paced read for me and loved every bit of this book. Brothers of the Cooper Ranch stats off with Bella Whitmore and Sawyer Cooper's story. Looking forward to continue on with the series.

Bella and Sawyer's story was fun and unique. I wanted there to be more meat to the story, but their chemistry was great, and overall it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours reading. I would have liked to get to know the other brothers, but I guess that's what the rest of the books are for.

I enjoyed getting to know Bella and Sawyer. The characters were well developed and I was drawn into their plight.

This has a bit of everything: a bride who can't remember her newlywed husband, a groom who has self-esteem issues, and a rich girl who was spurning Sawyer, and is surprised to find that she in fact married him when she wakes up from a fall from her horse.. A quick read on a rainy afternoon.

I'm giving this book 3.5 stars since I did finish it. BUT, I am beginning to feel like all of Ms. North's books are the same.
Man sees woman, makes 'the eyes' at her, they flirt, they don't act on it. Until one day they do act on it....
Bella wakes up from falling off a horse and not remembering the last month of her life. She remembers an art gallery where she saw Cooper. Now she is apparently married and living with him.
She doesn't fell comfortable with him yet even though she feels safe with him.

Again, this was an okay book to me.

This is a good story and I enjoyed it fully. It's a thing about love tat makes everything ok in the end.
Go for this if you like cozy romance.The romance and talking and understanding through the time is nice.

While the basic story was alright, it seemed like the last portion of the book ended too quickly. The pace of the story had been measured and then ended really quickly. I did not like the idea of not only her father but also her husband under estimating her ability to lead.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

What a fun book with Bella waking up with amnesia and not remembering marrying Sawyer! I love second chance romances but this was more like a third chance when Bella recovers her memories.

I loved that she told her father off and set the terms for reconciliation. There was a great HEA and who doesn't love a cowboy!?

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I was intrigued by the book summary, a fiery cowboy in pursue of an equally challenging and provocative cowgirl. what I got was a muddled, disjointed love story with amnesia. The story begins normal enough with Sawyer observing and desiring the elusive Bella but never fully capturing her. Then it abruptly jumps into a scene where she falls of a horse and doesn't remember she married Sawyer and is doing business with him. WTH? How did this happen?

The author forgets to build up to this revelation. Mind you it's only been a month since the first scene where Bella can barely stand him to them being fully married, catching feelings and doing a business deal. It just doesn't add up. The author attempts to explain it as the story goes on but Bella barely gets her barings before she jumps into bed with him. This novel needs to be structured and developed further.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the first book in a series. This is the story of Bella and Sawyer. It's mostly a fun quirky book. Quick read. I liked most of the characters. It involves a stubborn man, smart woman, and stupid dad. the divorce part was rather stupid but I guess she was making a point. Overall good read. I give it 4 stars. Liked this much better than her last series. I think most romance readers would enjoy.

Recently, I have had the chance to read a lot of books by Leslie North, so I knew what to expect from this book. As it turns out I was wrong about a couple of things. For one, the hero was a good one and not a douche like I was expecting. He might have done some things I wasn't a fan of, but overall he was solid and he did everything because he thought that it would help the situation. I wasn't sure where I stood with the bride aka Bella. I think that overall I liked her and her character. She was a bit naive sometimes, but she wasn't that bad or TSTL. The ending is not the one the reader would expect and it was a nice finishing touch.

This was an okay stlty. I enjoyed the suspense of finding out if she would get her memory back. I was not a fan of the ending when she wanted to get a divorce just to get married again.

This is the first book in the author’s new series, Brothers of Cooper Ranch. This first one is a fast reading story about Sawyer Cooper and Bella Whitmore.
Both come from wealth and in a way , both are trying to prove themselves to others. While Bella works very hard to be the son her father always wanted and is a bright businesswoman, her father believes women don’t belong in the business world. Sawyer is a businessman in his own right, purposely not wanting to rest on the laurels of his family’s wealth. They have had a distant attraction and we see it evident in Chapter 1 at the art gallery.
Fast forward to a month after the first chapter and we learn that Bella not only has amnesia , but she doesn’t even know she’s now married to Sawyer. Was it for love or for business purposes? Will Bella recall what happened the month she’s lost?
It was interesting to see these two interact.
For me , it was more of a 3.5 star story . It was a good story, but not as good as others by this talented author.
I was entrusted this copy by Netgalley . The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Bella is the daughter of a wealthy Boston shipping company. Her father believes woman do not have a place at the head of a company. Sawyer is from Montana but is a business man in Boston. He wants to start a business where you order fresh vegetables and it ships straight to you within two days. Bella wakes up in a strange bed and can’t remember anything from the last month. She doesn’t realize she married Sawyer and is living in Montana now. She fell off a horse and hit her head, the doctor says to let her memories come back on their own. Sawyer won her once and hopefully he can win her again. Cowboys, city slickers, and secrets. Steamy. A little confusing after reading the blurb. But all in all pretty good story. * Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

I was as confused as Bella throughout most of the book. I wish we had been given a little insight into what had happened prior to her amnesia. Sawyer was very understanding and patient with her. A true gentleman.

Very interesting plot with sexy chemistry with Sawyer and Bella.

Bella is struggling in her father's fortune as his only heir. Being female is not in her favor as her father does not believe women are capable of smart business.

When Sawyer takes up for Bella she sees herself in his eyes, stronger. Problem is, she's now awoken from an injury with no recollection of the last month or even leading her to become Sawyer's wife.

A short read, the story of Sawyer and Bella.
I liked how it is told from both of their points of view.

Leslie North has written another great first book in her brand new series, Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. Sawyer Cooper is what I would describe as a reluctant cowboy when the story first starts, but soon is back in the wilds of Montana where his heart truly belongs.

Bella has always strived for acceptance by her overbearing father, but when she awakes in a ranch house in Montana and married to the man she has coveted from afar, confusion is a mild account of her state of mind.

Cowboys have always been a favourite of mine, and even though this story commenced in a city setting, I truly enjoyed the world-building and visual descriptions of Montana throughout the book. Sawyer and Bella displayed a multitude of emotions, which required much soul searching and growth that was intriguing, and frustrating too.

I would happily recommend this story if you have previous enjoyed books by Ms North or simply love a sexy man in cowboy boots and a Stetson!
