Kissed by a Cowboy

While I found the title of this book 'Kissed by a Cowboy' by Debra Clopton a little 'cliche', the story is a fun read, with plenty to keep the reader engaged. This is the first book I have read by this author, having found it on Netgalley, and I would pick up more. There's a good balance between romance, sequence of events & supporting characters. Not overwhelming. I liked both the main characters Cassidy & Jarrod, though you feel the frustration of the wasted 8 years! The added storyline of the cattle rustlers added a depth that was needed. Subtle addition of a Christian element without being overbearing. An enjoyable book, that is hard to put down! I would like to read the previous 2 books in the series now.

Thanks to Netgalley & Thomas Nelson Publishing for the free ARC.

Debra Clopton is one of my all time favorite Christian authors. I have never been disapointed in one of her books. This is the 3rd book in the series and I have enoyed getting to know each brother and Pops. I highly reccomend this book to everyone young and old, You will be happy you read this series

I always look forward to reading books by Debra Clopton. This is a fun series and I am loving it. This series is about brothers, sticking together, working together and saving their ranch. There is such a sense of home and family in these books. And who can resist a handsome cowboy?

For Cassidy and Jarrod, this is a story of re-connection and a second chances. Jarrod sees Cassidy as his second chance at love and happiness. Cassidy views her return as a second chance at happiness and independence- without love. Cassidy is super stubborn when it comes to love but I can't help but be impressed with her hard work and vision. Jarrod's drive and determination to show Cassidy he is her forever is so endearing. He is one patient man. I love how he always tries to help and support Cassidy in her dreams and doesn't try to detract from what she is trying to accomplish.

It is always fabulous to see previous book characters show up as sort of a side continuation. I love seeing good things happen for the characters I came to love in previous books.

This book is Christian fiction. There are some elements of religion. It is clean all the way around. This title will be released on Feb. 9th.

I've read several books by this author and have enjoyed them all...this one is no exception. I love the premise of second chances, add in a gun shy Cassidy and the one man that made her that way and the sparks fly when Jarrod decides to right a very bad mistake he made years ago. The story was over way too quickly for my liking...I enjoyed it that much!

This book was provided through Netgalley for my honest review.

Kissed by a Cowboy by Debra Clopton is the third book in the "Four of Hearts Ranch Romance" series. It works as a stand alone, although it mentions the two brothers from previous books. I've read the second book in this series also, but thought both worked well as stand-alone.
Jarrod Monahan is the oldest Monahan brother, and he's tired of watching all his brothers get married around him. He's ready, but hasn't found room in his heart for another woman since Cassidy Starr left town.
Cassidy Starr has returned to town though, because her aunt has passed away and Cassidy aims to take over the strawberry farm and house left behind. She doesn't realize that Jarrod is going to be her next door neighbor, however, nor that he's been charged with watching over Cassidy's aunt's house while it sits empty.
I have quickly grown to love this series and its characters, and plan on going back to read the first one. The characters are charming, and their dialogue and situations were adorable, yet there was still conflict as they strived to work out their past and differences. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it.
Thank you so much to Thomas Nelson publishers for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own and were not required to be positive.
