This was just a little too much for me. I wanted to like it more but it's almost a parody of a romance novel. Shy Tina is surrounded by hot cowboys who all want her. It's just over the top and some parts were pretty ridiculous. I don't mind losing myself in the fantasy of a good romance , but a spontaneous orgasm because he walked into the room?? That was a bit much for me. And some of the vocabulary used during the steamier scenes brought me out of the story. I did read to the end out of curiosity, but it was just ok for me.

Rowan is one badass chick. I seriously like her.  She has a head on her shoulders, and a mind for business but she has a certain vulnerability that she seems scared to expose to anyone.

The relationship between Rowan and her father also fascinated me, and kept me intrigued enough to continue turning the digital pages.

T.J. is sweet, and funny, his cockiness seeming to be a mask for his massive adorable crush on Rowan.

This book was fun. The drama could be a bit over the top but I enjoyed the journey quite a lot. I am finding this series to be rather addictive in a major way.

My ThoughtsMust Love Cowboys is the second book in the adult contemporary series, called Cowboy heaven by Cheryl Brooks. Each of the books can be read as standalone, and this is the first title from the series that I have read. It takes pace at a ranch that really does seem like cowboy heaven. There are tons of single cowboys all living under one roof. While I loved the cowboys, obviously, I really liked the mystery plotline that ran throughout the story.

Tina shows up at the Circle Bar K ranch on a mission to deliver some letters to her grandfather's best friend, and when that friend almost dies, Tina stays on for a little while to take his place as the ranch cook. Cooking for a big group of cowboys with seemingly never ending stomachs, sounds like an awful job to me, but it is Tina's dream job. I loved seeing how excited she was over coming up with meal ideas and how excited the guys were to eat her meals. It was pretty cute.

I enjoyed the romance, though I would have loved to have gotten a few glimpses into Wyatt's mind, the story was told entirely from Tina's point of view. I loved her connection with Wyatt, but I do wish the book was spread out over a longer time period. It was my only gripe with the story. I thought the book was a good length and the story was great, but I would have enjoyed the romance a little more, and it would have been a bit more believable to see it take place over more than a week. I thought put in that context, they moved incredibly fast. But in terms of the mystery, the pacing was great.

Bottom line: if you are a fan of cowboys, this is a series you will love. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, because there are lots of awesome guys to choose from next. I know Dean is the obvious choice for the next book, but I kind of want to see Bull's story next. Who is it going to be Mrs. Brooks?
