Charles is a prince. Hey, why marry the cow when you can have the cow for a salary?

Both Colton and Jenny's mothers were depressing.

Holy hotness. Who knew ordering food could be foreplay?

I liked that he went after her when they fought in the car after lunch.

His vision of his future sounds wonderful.

The romance seems a little fast, but not if you believe in love at first sight. And plus, she loved him as a child.

The epilogue makes you do a double-take.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Take Me, Cowboy by Jane Porter is an absorbing novella that I could not put down. The first chapter drew me into this entertaining romance with the primary characters being likeable, complex and real. This is an intense and impassioned read that kept me engaged from beginning to end.

Executive Assistant extraordinaire, Jenny Wright, is back in her hometown of Marietta Montana, looking beautiful in her bridal attire as she prepares to walk down the aisle. Unfortunately, it is at this time that Charles, her husband-to-be and boss, decides that he does not want to get married. Working with her and living together is just fine, but marriage is not. Of course Jenny is upset and feels like her entire future has been swept out from under her. However, when the man she has crushed on since she was able to walk finds her on the sidewalk crying, things begin to look up.

Colton Thorpe is a well known bull-rider and the small town of Marietta considers him to be a hero. He is back in town for the rodeo and to visit with his family. Colton was the resident bad boy in high school and left immediately after graduation in order to pursue his dreams, just like Jenny. When he sees a gorgeous bride sobbing on the street, he has no choice but to see if he can be of any help.

Jenny has always been in love with Colton and due to her break-up, they end up getting together. Their chemistry is unique and magnetic, especially considering the circumstances that brought them together. Ms. Porter does an amazing job of evolving their relationship from friends into lovers.

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Porter and it certainly won't be the last. I was able to truly visualize and understand Jenny's poorest of the poor upbringing, due to Ms. Porter's explicit descriptions. This is a well-written novella from the Cooper Mountain Rodeo series that should not be missed.

"Take Me Cowboy" by Jane Porter. The story of Jenny and Colton. This was a sweet romance - girl gets jilted, reconnects with her childhood crush. It happened fairly quickly and, although sometimes the instant love bothers me, in this case it didn't, since they knew each other before. Ms. Porter did a good job of making the reader feel what the characters felt - I believed and felt Jenny's heartbreak and I got exactly how Colton felt and his wariness to trust women after his own heartbreak. This a quick read, being a novella, and I can honestly say that I would have liked more. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Porter's works.

I love the sweet stories that Jane Porter writes.This is such a wonderful addition to this series. I am thrilled that I was introduced to such an amazing author.
