For once in her life she decides it’s time to have a little fun. She makes a list and one item on her list is to have a vacation fling. Somehow, her two week, no strings attached fling with Colt turns serious immediately.

Drawn to each other and each with a heavy history, I love these two characters and I rooted for them the whole time. This story focuses on the power of love and family not necessarily build by blood. The strength of a good and loving foster family and being the security of a loving adult in a child’s eyes. This book has frivolous fun, instalove, good friendships but it also has love and depth and beauty. Also, the use of a children’s book that brought a sense of safety and security during life’s darkest moments made me cry.

Excited for Aunt Jenna and her crazy hen, Lucy, to get a love story.

While Jenna gave up her life to raise her nephews, she feels she gained more than she ever could have imagined with the way her life took a 180 when she was just a young woman herself. Now 40 and her 3 nephews paired off and starting their own families, it's time for Jenna to step out on her own, starting with a 2 week vacation on a ranch. I love the crossover to the Meadow Valley Series and the sexy Colt Morgan. Colt assumes the aunt he is picking up is an elder lady he will enjoy a nice drive back with to Meadow Valley. To his surprise, Jenna is lots younger and very attractive.

While Colt and Jenna have hilarious adventures simply getting back to Meadow Valley, their attraction to one another is immediate and intensifying. Jenna is hesitant about starting anything with a younger man, but she's ready for a vacation fling. Colt has been burned by what he thought was a serious previous relationship, he wants the family and children, but Jenna doesn't want anything but a fling, despite their growing feelings beyond attraction.

Jenna and Colt are everything you want in a book couple: instant attraction, charm, fun, hilarity, sexy banter, drama making them hold back, an issue seemingly impossible to overcome, love that conquers all!

Great read! I LOVE A.J. Pine's writing.

This author writes the sexiest, most romantic couples in her books. In Only a Cowboy Will Do by A.J. Pine heroine Jenna Owens and hero Colt Morgan are a very sexy, romantic couple. Jenna is given a two week vacation to Meadow Valley Guest Ranch for a 40th. birthday present from the three nephews she raised after their mother dies. On her to-do list there is to have a fling. When Jenna meets Colt it's instant attraction. Their fling turns into more than they originally bargained for. But after all, "Love conquers all."

This might be my favorite book by AJ Pine yet. Age gap doesn't always work for me, but Jenna was so much fun and so relatable in her struggles and worries that it was easy to fall in love with her and with her relationship with Colt. Their entire "vacation fling" was just so much fun. I loved Lucy the chicken. I loved Jenna's laughter through situations that could have been frustrating or made someone else mad. I loved Colt's secret cinnamon roll-ness. AJ, you helped me move through a book drought in all the best ways. This story took us to places that we didn't expect with bits and pieces of former stories woven in and left me wanting so much more. I can't wait for what comes next.
