Book Description:

​She’s famous and nearing the end of her career. He’s blunt, bossy, and downright annoying. Will these two find the perfect balance between truth and love?

Sports fanatic Derin Vargas steps down from his position as foreman of Vargas Ranch to run the family’s new sports complex. Uncomfortable in his new role, he compensates by being bossy. When a famous pro-tennis player stays at the resort to rehab after surgery, Derin points out her shortcomings no one else will.

Pro-tennis player Madison Moore heads to a remote sports complex on Vargas Guest Ranch & Resort to finish rehabbing after shoulder surgery. As she fears the death of her pro career, the bossy cowboy manager gets under her skin.

​Will Derin soften his rough edges to win over the beautiful tennis player? Will Madison listen to the hard truth about her future while opening her heart to love?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

This is such a sweet series, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, Falling for a Bossy Cowboy. I like that these books can be read in any order because each is different, Cowboy and his personality. This story follows Sports fanatic Derin Vargas and Pro-tennis player Madison Moore. With Derin running his family’s sports resort, he is acting like a real jerk, so when he meets Madison, who is there for rehab, he continues his bossy way as a jerk. Because to me that was his way. But to my honest, Derin does have insecurities that he hides with his Bossy ways. Madison, on the other hand is worried about her career and wants to overcome the reasons she is at this resort.

I found this story fun to read. The banter between the two main characters was interesting to say the least. Their attraction to each other didn’t come easy, but the boss and sass kept me reading the book because I wanted to see how this story was going to end. There was some twists and turns that shuffled the story up a bit but I think it was a wonderful read. If you love cowboy stories, and especially romantic ones, you will love Falling For A Bossy Cowboy.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

Book Description:

​She’s trying to resurrect her career. He’s sworn off women. Will this city-meets-country duo find love where they least expect it?

Dalton J. Vargas the fourth has sworn off love. Women are just a distraction that keep him from running his family’s multi-million-dollar guest ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona. After his father announces an early retirement, the full burden of the ranch rests on his shoulders. When a city-slicker romance author stays at the ranch, Dalton’s perfect world turns to chaos.

River Sloane’s last workplace romance novel flopped—big time. Now her publisher wants her to write a modern-day cowboy romance, which she has resisted for years. When her publisher sends her to a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere Arizona, she must learn about cowboys and ranching to get her career back on track. One hunky cowboy stirs her heart and unexpectedly becomes her muse.

Will she let herself fall in love with the real cowboy or will she return to the life she left behind? Will Dalton open his heart to a new, lasting love?
