ATTENTION: If you have been a victim of false advertising, you may be entitled to compensation. If you were ever hired to take care of a fourteen-year-old boy’s knee injury on a luxury ranch in the Middle of Nowhere, Utah, but that fourteen-year-old boy ended up being a tall, rough-and-tumble, muscular, one-hundred-percent all-man cowboy by the name of Rhett Jameson, you may have been put at risk for falling in love. Please seek counsel immediately.

Dear Counselor,

It was supposed to be simple favor for my very important boss, Frank Kaminsky of the Salt Lake Slammers professional basketball team—go to his good friend Tex Jameson’s luxury ranch and provide personal medical care for his recently injured teenage son.

I thought it’d be a working vacation of sorts—a chance for my city-girl self to experience something I would never otherwise do—but everything is upside down, and absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.

For one, this patient is not a teenage boy.

He’s a real-life, blue-eyed, tough-as-nails, thirtysomething cowboy who is so darn strong he looks like he could lift a car just for the heck of it.

He’s also stubborn, rude, and we don’t get along…at all.

Add in the heart-melting vision of him as a single father to the cutest little girl on the planet, and I’ve found myself in a whole different dimension of trouble.

Lust. Feelings. A whole lot of enemies-to-lovers-style complication.

Please help me. My name is Dr. Leah Levee, I am a victim of false advertising, and if I’m not careful, this Grumpy Cowboy might just be the death of me.

Author Note: This sexy and hilarious novel is a complete standalone romantic comedy.

3.5 out of 5 stars

Grumpy Cowboy was a fast-paced, entertaining read. I enjoyed Leah and Rhett and their verbal sparring and fun banter. I liked watching them butt heads in the beginning but then soften towards one another as feelings grow.

This was a light, easy read. Not very in-depth, but it gave me just enough to keep me engaged and keep the story moving along. I liked Leah and Rhett but I never felt fully connected to them because, at times, things felt very surface. I liked the overall story but the start was a bit rough for me, getting used to all the cowboy verbiage and dialect. It felt a bit over the top but I got used to it and rolled with it. I enjoyed Leah and Rhett’s building sexual tension, the hilarious situations, their growing attraction, and the slow burn happening but. There were a lot of great scenes that had me chuckling and laughing out loud.

I was kind of all over the place while reading this. It had an okay start, a fantastic middle, and a really good ending. Here’s the thing though, it was the overall fun of the story, that entertainment value, and those moments when I would laugh out loud that had me hooked. If you need sexy, cute, and sweet, this is it.
