A brand-new sweet and steamy contemporary cowboy romance series from USA Today bestselling author A.J. Pine. 

Holding out for a Cowboy features: 

Second chances at success—and at love.
Childhood sweethearts who broke each other's hearts and are now determined to be friends. Not so easy.
Finding out how to do whatever it takes to live the life you want.

Casey Walsh and Boone Murphy had a bright future together until tragedy tore them apart. Now, more than a decade later, the beauty school dropout runs Meadow Valley's family tavern and steers clear of the boy who once stole her heart—no small feat in such a small town. When Casey's car breaks down on the way to an important interview, she's rescued by none other than Boone himself—on what was supposed to be his wedding day…

Boone Murphy was finally going to put Meadow Valley in his rearview mirror, even if that meant selling his business and leaving his family's horse ranch behind. It also meant leaving Casey Walsh. Except when it came time to say "goodbye" to his hometown and "I do" to his new life, he couldn't do it. Now he's back home and his only dream is winning back the girl he's always loved…

A. J. Pine

A librarian for teens by day and a romance writer by night, A.J. Pine can’t seem to escape the world of fiction, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. When she finds that twenty-fifth hour in the day, she might indulge in a tiny bit of TV to nourish her undying love of vampires, superheroes, and a certain high-functioning sociopath detective. She hails from the far-off galaxy of the Chicago suburbs.

 


 

Casey Walsh and Boone Murphy found love once, but tragedy took it away, and it's haunted them everyday since. They've tried to find it with others, but it's never felt the same. They've avoided each other and longed for one another in the same day. They miss one another and what they had, but both are too stubborn to admit it, or willing to face the reasons that tore them apart. But they are about to bump into one another along a desolate road, where they have no option but to talk to one another... it's that first step they've needed to take, but been too chicken to do it. Now they have no choice...

Holding Out for a Cowboy brings us into the lives of two people who love each other far more than they'd care to admit out loud, mainly because admitting it would mean facing one another and their issues. These two are about as stubborn as they come, but along that desolate highway they take their first step towards resolution and the happily ever after they've longed to have. They just have some messy business and forgiveness to work on first... and that is the hard part. Neither wants to admit their wrongs or face the past that tore them apart, so it takes a little time to get to the good stuff... but the wait is totally worth it!

From beginning to end these two kept me captivated and hanging on their every word, I couldn't help but get wrapped up in their lives. They brought heat, emotion, and lots of heart to the pages... the perfect recipe for a happy heart! I loved this first offering in the The Murphys of Meadow Valley series, and I cannot wait to see where the pages of the next installment take us! This well penned western romance is certain to check all the right boxes with romance readers! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
