An 8 start read!
My Favorite Passage from the book ~ Holy hotness, Batman. Who's the ----alicious cowboy?

This book by Lisa Renee Jones is something different from her normal genre. It was refreshing and was a nice change up! This light hearted story about a love gone wrong and two people meeting and not knowing but they are perfect for each other! This book was so easy to read and a page turner!

3.5 Granny Takes Charge Stars
* * *1/2 Spoiler Free
Oh My, What a Cover! He is the perfect ad for Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy! Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

Now the book. Lisa Renee Jones has created a female divorce lawyer who is successful and smart. She is respected and also has a personal life looking to be set...Until she finds her fiance' and his secretary going at it in bed. The moon must have been Mercury in Retrograde because the next thing she does is call out the biggest client she has as an asshat, pretty much destroying her high powered career in Dallas.

Not one to sit around and weep, she decides to take all she knows about divorce and write a book. Oh and she somehow connects with a sweet grandmother type woman who rents her a cottage away from Dallas.

What the Granny planned was for this woman to wake up her sweet grandson. This man gave up his Baseball career when his parents died. He needed to come back and save the ranch the way the parents had wanted. He also had been burned by his fiance' when she decided ranch life wasn't for her. So Granny's grandson has a chip on his shoulder about women and does not want her help.

These two meet, not in the best ways and the games begin...If Granny has her way, love will be in the air.

This was a hard push and pull romance with a couple that often straddled the line between love and hate.

While Jessica is working on writing a divorce guide, her drunk friends talk her into writing a romance. Soon she’s doing both and each books shadows her emotions towards the jerky cowboy that is stealing her heart. From the highs to lows, her writing is a reflection of what she is experiencing with Jason. Unfortunately, it looks like she might have to dig further into fiction in order for the romance to have a happy ever after.

Jason was burned by a city girl and with the death of his parents and the condition of the ranch, his plate is full. He gave up pitching in order to take care of business and ensure his grandmother’s future. While he loves the ranch as well as his grandmother, his passion is baseball until he meets Jessica. Now he’s tormented with wanting it all and unable to make his complete dream come true.

I enjoyed these characters. Jessica was smart but a bit clumsy which led to some fun moments. Jason was damaged and carried the world on his shoulders but was too afraid to make the changes that would bring him peace. They were each wounded by life and afraid to yield to what was growing between them.

There is a lot of back and forth between Jessica and Jason which created a wealth of angst. With every decision Jessica made, Jason seemed to take it the wrong way. Even while they battled it out, the chemistry between them sizzled keeping this couple in a constant state of want and desire that pushed against what their minds told them.

This has a great pace to it, never bogging down. There is plenty of humor, lots of steam, and some amazing secondary characters I can’t wait to see more of. Overall, this was a great read for anyone who enjoys the push and pull of which this couple excels!

This one is different from others in this author's recent releases but WOW was this one GREAT! Jessica is on the run. From her life, her career, her fiancee, and basically life but getting stuck in the mud on the way to her new lease and rescued by a cowboy is the best way to start this story. Add in the fact the cowboy is really an ex-pro pitcher and now rancher and she is staying in his cottage...err...office, rented to her by his grandmother, and this story just leaps off the page. I could not turn the pages fast enough. I highly recommend this one for a fun and sexy read!

Yes! Lisa you nailed it! Writing about a cowboy over a billionaire is different. But in a good way! It was a change of pace from her other books. This book was as dark. Took place in Texas away from the city. I enjoyed the humor you added as well. This book had all kinds of ups and downs in it. Downs as in: loss, cheating, debt, loss of dreams and snakes. But ups as in: humor, baking, love, new dreams and a sphinx cat! The banter between Jessica and Jason was hilarious. With Jason flying off the handle at Jessica so easily and Jessica comparing Jason to an ex every chance she could get! This all started with a sweet lady named Martha(aka-grandma). She just wanted to grandson to be happy and to stop living the life he wanted. If you are a fan of Lisa, this one will not disappoint. Just a different pace and setting.

5 HOME RUN STARS!! This book is different from this author normal book, that being said.....I LOVED IT!!! Lisa Renee Jones hit this one out of the park. This story had it all for me, drama, fun bantering, broken characters, friends, family and so much love. What more can you ask for a beautiful lawyer city girl and a jerky country boy that use to played professional baseball and these two clash. You should definitely 1-Click this book.....you will love it.

I have to admit that even if I like the dialogues a lot, there was still something in the supposedly hero that I didn't appreciate at all (see manhandling for example), there were also some other things but mostly that made it for me, pity, the story was pretty good all in all.

Devo ammettere che, nonostante i dialoghi fossero molto piacevoli, c'é stato qualcosa in questo libro che mi ha impedito di godermelo appieno e l'atteggiamento di quello che dovrebbe essere il maschio alfa/cowboy/stella del baseball in questione, é proprio l'atteggiamento da macho man che si é poi concretizzato in un paio di capitoli in modo per me estremamente disturbante, e quindi niente da fare....un peccato perché poi la storia non era male per niente.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This is a whole new sexy story! Get read for cowboy lovin’! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read

This new series from Lisa Renee Jones is exactly what you always get from her, but with new fierce characters and a new world. I have fallen comes in love with this story! Jason and Jessica have off the charts chemistry... think Chris and Sara Level Heat!

5 Hot Texas Heat Stars!

One hot-headed cowboy, former pro baseball player, and freshly scorned lover meets no filter, balls-to-the walls divorce attorney, turned newly book author, and freshly scorned lover in the countryside of Texas. I think it's safe to say that sparks fly in The Truth About Cowboys.

I'm not one who loves a constant push/pull romance but there are exceptions I find that I tend to really enjoy. Jason and Jessica are one of those exceptions. It has a lot to do with the fact that I just really liked their characters and that push/pull they were constantly battling brought a lot of heat as a couple.

This had a great background setting on a farm in the Texas countryside with a feisty grandma, quite a few sexy cowboys, and a naked cat. This was a fun and entertaining read that I highly recommend!

While I do not usually read romance novels set on ranches, Lisa Renee Jones has me rethinking this. The Truth about Cowboys was a smart, witty, chemistry filled sexy read. Jessica is looking to leave the city behind- one with the cheating boyfriend and high pressure law firm. After she finds her boyfriend in bed with another woman she flees for the safety and security of the Flying J Ranch. Here she plans to write a survival guide for others on divorce. On her first night, in a rainstorm, she falls into Jason's arms. While he seems familiar she is not quite sure why. Jason is the ranches owner and unaware of his plotting grandmother. She wants find him a city girl with the hopes that it will jumpstart his baseball career again, bringing the city to the county. Jason is home running the ranch after his parents untimely deaths. Jason is also running from a former lover, one that changed his mind about city girls.

In The Truth About Cowboys you will find two people hurt by love. Can they find their way together to a future that is brighter than it would have been if they had run from love.

The Truth About Cowboys is well written and filled with two strong main characters and some funny and strategically placed minor characters. Together this is a must read!

Another awesome book by Lisa Renee Jones.
A hard headed ball player and a hard headed city girl go head to head in a battle of wills! Both have been hurt by someone else!
Will these two hard headed people be able to find love in each other or will their stubbornness have them going the other way?

Once bitten, twice shy..the consistent, witty banter between these two, along with the greatest grandma ever, kept me reading this LOL, never gonna do that again, hawt romance. Loved it!!😍😍😍

I'm struggling on how to rate this book. It was your typical city girl meets cowboy scenario. I've read a couple of books by Lisa Renee Jones and this wasn't quite like the previous ones I've read by her. I liked this book but I didn't love it. It had quite a few redeeming qualities overshadowed by the cliches written throughout. I loved the concept of the plot. There were some instances where I found myself asking what?! She seemed like such a strong character in the beginning but made such cliches mistakes for such a strong divorce lawyer.

Jason was a really likable character. He was a professional baseball player who suffered through some very personal issues and wants the best for his grandmother. I liked his possessive stuff. However, I still felt like he was a little cliches in certain instances as well.

There was definitely some great qualities in this book - lots of witty banter, whimsical accidents, and a meddling grandmother.

This is my first read by this author, so I honestly have nothing to go on based on her previous works. That said, this book brings together a seemingly unlikely couple. Big city divorce lawyer down on her luck. Broody cowboy giving off major 'leave me alone' vibes. And I never got the sense passed that that they really wanted to be together. There was some attraction and some fan girling, but why on earth did they want to put more effort into this?

There is some great humor and one liner zingers in here. Grandma was the star of the show in so many scenes. I'[m also kind of interested in Jason's friend. I might be tempted to read his story.

Just ok for me.

Steamy and heartfelt, The Truth About Cowboys is a fabulous page-turning read. Lisa Renee Jones has hit it out of the park with this sexy tale!! I read this book in one sitting and just absolutely loved it. So far I have not been let down by Lisa’s books yet and definitely plan to read more. Happy reading!!

A fabulous start to this series! It is sweet, funny, and all kinds of heartfelt.
Jason, former baseball star turned rancher is all kinds of hot and swoony. He has been burned in the past and is not looking to repeat it. When Jessica, a lawyer form the city, turns up on his ranch, he isn't interested in starting anything. No matter what his fiesty grandmother thinks should happen. Even if she is the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on, he still isn't interested.
I fell in love with these two. They clash immediately and I just knew all that back and forth is going to turn in to some serious heat. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. I can't wait to get the next one in this series!

“Lord help me, he might be a jerk but he’s a Wrangler commercial come to life, and I need a cold drink right now.” – Jessica

Jessica was living her best life, or so she thought. When she catches her now ex in a compromising position, she takes off from Dallas to a small cottage she found online. She needs to get away from the city and figure out her life. When her car breaks down in the middle of the night in the pouring rain, a handsome cowboy comes to save her. However, unlike in the books she’s read, this cowboy isn’t her knight in shining armor, he lectures her about not being prepared. Jason Jenks doesn’t have time for the pretty city girl he helped, who unbeknownst to him would also be staying in his grandmother’s old cottage on his ranch. As the two get spend more time together, (sometimes against their will) Jason realizes that maybe Jessica isn’t the city girl he thought she was, but when hurtful words and accusations are said can Jessica forgive Jason, or is she meant to stay a city girl?

This is my first book by Lisa Renee Jones, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Jessica was a hilarious heroine with so much sass and snark, and Jason, is the hot cowboy we all dream about! Their back and forth was entertaining, and watching them fight their feelings kept me turning the pages to see if they could finally figure it out! Also I LOVED the secondary characters, Martha was hilarious, from baking together to drinking together she kept the humor alive every time! I need a book about Roarke now, because that man needs to have his own happily ever after! This was a quick read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for something to get lost in!

Such a fun and entertaining read. I loved the feistiness of the main characters. Jessica is recovering from a bad breakup. Jason is not looking for love. But there is undeniable chemistry between them. The grandma was a real character! Will she succeed in her matchmaking? A lovely story!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COWBOYS by Lisa Renee Jones was a bit of a foray into a genre I do not normally read but was looking for something that was not intense and would amuse and entertain me instead of having me sit on the edge of my seat. I am happy to say I could not put this book down, not because I was on the edge of my seat but because I was relaxed and enjoying my time with Jessica and Jason.

Jessica is a divorce attorney who is burning out on the job, it is not as fulfilling as she had hoped and then there is the proverbial fiancé in bed with his secretary. Jason is the cowboy and owner of the ranch Jessica is renting a cottage on, he is also a retired professional baseball player. Though the love/hate relationship with sexual tension has been done millions of times, Ms. Jones does it with humor and that made this book more than another romance story. Also Jason’s grandmother Martha brings another dimension to the book for those Grandma’s with life to live.

A great, quick read for anyone just looking to spend some easy reading time with pleasant characters.
