Review: The Rancher and the City Girl (Tempting the Rancher #1) by Joya Ryan

This was wicked, hot fun! I had a blast with Tripp and Charlotte. Hot cowboys for the win!

The Rancher and the City Girl (Tempting the Rancher #1) by Joya Ryan

Rancher and single father Tripp Montgomery is a master at French braiding and princess tea parties. He's also the most eligible bachelor in Cheyenne, Wyoming. So when he stumbles upon a flashy, sexy city girl, he knows two things: 1) she's a walking disaster, and 2) he needs to stay far, far away.

But she needs him more than he wants to admit…

Charlotte Gram knows what it's like not to be wanted. She's in Cheyenne for the summer to help her grandmother heal after surgery, but the farmhouse "chores" are proving much harder than she thought. If her day couldn't get any worse, the sexiest man she's ever seen strolls up to save the day...

...and he definitely doesn't seem happy about it.

4.5 out of 5 stars

So fun, sweet, and sexy! This was a charming, fast paced read that had a lot of heart and the perfect amount of heat. Loved it!

Tripp and Charlotte were so great. I loved them meeting and connecting. Awesome chemistry. As things unfold, there is great animosity and banter that's super entertaining between the two. I loved watching that heat and need grow between them. Charlotte was stubborn and feisty and I liked her fire. She was a bit lost in life and was searching for her place. Tripp had serious swagger and was swoon worthy. I loved how he was completely devoted to his daughter. This is pretty fast paced and they do have an instant connection but I totally rolled with it because somehow it just worked perfectly for me. It was a quick and light, but a full story that I couldn't put down.

I loved the storyline. This one had me at single father. Add in cowboy and it was like icing on the cake. There's enough details to keep things moving along at a brisk pace but I never felt it was rushed, just enough to keep everything moving along perfectly. Love the sparks flying. It was entertaining and sexy, and there was a nice bit of emotion and playfulness too. It made for an excellent afternoon read!

Loved it. Hot cowboys for the win!
