Description
Oklahoma ranch hand Tyler Jenkins is too young, too sexy, and too damn wild to be tied down by any single woman--for more than a few steamy hours. . .
One hard-working widow. . .
Widowed rancher Janie Smithwick is too busy paying off her debts to play rodeo with a reckless young cowboy like Tyler--no matter how hot he gets her. . .
One midnight ride they'll never forget. . .
As a rule, Janie should be dating a man her own age, like her handsome neighbor Rohn--not the twenty-four-year old ranch hand he employs. But once Tyler gets Janie alone--held tight in his arms, pressed against his hard muscled body, burning with desire--the widow realizes that some rules, like broncos, are meant to be broken. . .
A Note From the Publisher
THE FIRST BOOK IN A NEW SEXY CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE SERIES: MIDNIGHT COWBOYS!
Advance Praise
“Packs a powerful emotional punch…Janie’s plucky can-do attitude and vulnerability are appealing, as is Tyler’s unexpected depth. With an entertaining cast of secondary characters, this tale will take readers for an enjoyable ride.” – Publishers Weekly
“Johnson is a master at pushing boundaries, and the opening of her Midnight Cowboys series is no exception. Ultimately, though, the surprise is not the differences between her characters, but how well she obliterates any doubt that they belong together. Though the pace is slower than some of her other novels, readers will savor the chance to meet the capable, resourceful heroine and her strapping, charming cowboy and watch them grow together. The result is an infinitely more compelling romance, ensuring that this series will be a hit.” – RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

I enjoyed this age gap romance. Despite their age differ Tyler and Janie were destined for each other. I don't think Tyler could have been any cuter ! He was a sweet, caring, thoughtful and always willing to lend a hand when needed. A ladies man through and through but it takes a special woman to bring this cowboy to his knees. Janie was just such a woman. Janie has been through a lot of heartache. Faced with the possibility of losing Tyler, she builds a wall that she isn't ready to tear down yet. I understand Janie's reluctance in having a relationship with Tyler but it was wreaking havoc on my emotions.
Once again the author does a great job bring some of my favorite characters back and introducing some new ones. Looking forward to read about these these cowboys
This is my first Cat Johnson book, however being a fan of hot, sexy cowboys and Lorelei James, I couldn't resist the description of the book. Judging by Cat Johnson's writing she really seems to know cowboys and ranch life. And Tyler Jenkins seems like the ideal cowboy. He's also charming and polite. I really liked how patient he was with Janie. That he didn't push her into a relationship and waited for her to be ready. I also think that the ages of both characters were perfect. Even though there was a 12 year age difference between them, 36 is still a very ssexy and young age for a woman. The only thing that I thought that was missing was how their relationship fared in the real world, out in the open. Yes, Janie had her doubts, quite understandably, and even though she seemed to overcome them in the end, we never found out if her fears were justified. The community in which they lived seemed to be small. How did everyone else react to their relationship? Tyler never even shares his feelings with his brother or Colton. Did Tyler's family accept them? I would have liked to have seen the aftermath of their reveal also. Apart from that I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the upcoming books in this series!
What Karia says:
“I love Cat Johnson!!! I loved the previous series and reviewed all of them and loved them!” Karia at Talkbookstome
Seriously, I loved this story! The set up was too funny for the meet cute and from there it just got better and better. As you all should know by now, I love a cowboy (wearing my cowboy boots today even). Now, add to that a younger sexy cowboy, a lonely but by no means old widow and a couple wise cracking friends…bamm! Hot damn!
Tyler is reckless with his affections towards women, but by no means is he immature. He works hard, plays harder! Janie on the other hand never lived wild. She met her late husband at 18 while in college and he pursued her until she agreed to marry him. They had a nice life, he even sold his interests in his family ranch to be a full partner in her grandfather’s ranch. Sadly, cancer took him too soon and they never had children and this was not really discussed. That was one topic that I felt was unresolved…why didn’t they have children? Did he or she not want them? Don’t know…
The love story between Tyler and Janie is quite sweet. She is naïve, even though she is a widow in her thirties. Tyler, anything but innocent, wants her. Period. He doesn’t intend for it to be love, but I enjoyed being strung along on Tyler’s journey towards love and commitment. Sweet, sexy love story with some flirty cowboys! Cannot wait for Rohn to get his some some!!! Enjoy!
