***Born to Be A Cowboy centers around a missing person investigation, a slick conman, a strong ranching family and, of course, a budding romance. The hero is a lawyer who has three brothers and two sisters-in-law. The heroine only has her missing aunt. While the story is a clever one, parts of it frustrated this reader, as supposedly smart characters acted in dumb ways. One example of this is unprotected sex... a totally unacceptable act in today’s climate. Emotions often overcame reason, but to detail would give spoilers. Things I liked were the strong family bonds even though the three siblings were adopted and the ranching community setting. The mystery/thriller elements were written in a way that kept this reader engaged in finishing the book. Overall this is an enjoyable read, just often one that made this reader shake her head and walk away from the story for a little while. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.

BORN TO BE A COWBOY by R. C. Ryan is a five 🌟 read so sure! I loved the stories of the three young boys finding their home with Mac. This book told the story of Finn and Jessie. Told with some twists and turns the suspense made the story one very hard to put down!

This is the third installment in a series about three young runaway boys, adopted and raised by a rancher. You don't have to read the other two first but it sure helps as each story involves all the characters so you get the complete back story.

This story has it all...danger, intrigue, intensity and finally, love. Each and every character has good points and high moral standards. Each one is successful in their own right. This one really points out the importance of family and how they stick together.

Best of all.... storylines that were carried from one book to the next we're all wrapped up and nothing left to the imagination. Each of the men and women got their HEAs 👍.

This book was gifted to me by the author and NetGalley in return for an honest review.
