She belongs in the saddle. He loves the ride…
Bowen
I’ve never belonged on Crossroads Ranch. But since my father passed, I’m stuck trying to hire a ranch manager to take over, without a bed to call my own. Nothing ever changes around including our sassy veterinarian and part-time ranch worker Sawyer Booth. She’s the girl I’ve always resented for fitting in here when I couldn’t, but whose sexy, jean-clad sway I’ve secretly never been able to resist…
When I get wind her ex is still bothering her, it’s like a red rag waved at a bull. Before I know it, I’m offering her a deal. I’ll be her fake boyfriend, get her ex off her back. All I need to do is temporarily move into her spare room—and take her for a good ride around the dancefloor at the next country barn dance. What could go wrong?
Sawyer
Sexy, studious Bowen Cross is clearly more comfortable behind his annoyingly hot glasses and a computer screen than in his cowboy hat and oh-so-deliciously-tight wranglers. It’s no secret Bowen resents me. So when he suggests I fake date him, you could knock me down with a feather.
The thought of Bowen sleeping in the room next to mine makes my heart pound… But I really do not want to go to the charity dance alone when my ex will be there making unwelcome eyes at me.
I should have known that fake handholding would lead to real kissing. Real kissing would lead to two-stepping and hands roaming—and that could lead to so much more…
If only Bowen could admit this is where he really belongs. On this ranch. Between my sheets. And in my heart… before I get hurt all over again.
A deliciously sexy fake dating rivals-to-lovers Western romance that will have you fanning your cheeks and flipping the pages. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage and Paisley Hope.

Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).

Bowen Cross has never really felt like he fits on his families ranch, but after his father passes away it's exactly where he finds himself living. He promises himself it's only until he can hire someone to take on the ranch and run it for him, but then she happens... and suddenly, walking away has sort of lost it's appeal.
The pages of Rivalry Brewing will bring smiles, swoons, and many moments that'll put nice little squeeze on your heart! Bowen's plan was to find someone to take over the ranch and get out quick, but then Sawyer Booth wanders into to his world and changes everything... for the better! He wasn't looking for love when he set out to become her hero while she was fending off her annoying ex, but that's exactly what happened.
A few feisty exchanges, many shared laughs, a few stolen glances and it doesn't take long for these two to realize that there is something there between them. Something they both want to keep, but for Bowen that would mean sticking around at a place he's never quite felt like he belonged...but maybe he's finally found a reason to stay.
From beginning to end this sweet little page-turner had me smiling and laughing, these two were pure literary gold! It was pretty evident as an outsider that they belonged with one another, but for them it took a minute to see it. I loved getting to witness their fall, it was entertaining and full of moments that touched my heart! Highly recommend!!
