BLURB:
Some days life is a little messy.
Other days, you get arrested by the small-town cop who loves to lecture you on all the ways you could be doing better.
Officer Peters has never been Janie’s biggest fan, but when he picks her up for a warrant she didn’t know she had, he lays into her.
And, for the first time in years, she breaks. Slinging tears and snot all over the holding room, expecting him to run with his tail between his legs.
He doesn’t. Instead, he sits down and calmly helps her come up with a solution to her problems.
A solution that plants her square in the middle of the widowed, single-dad’s life.
That’s when she discovers that, while her life’s messy, his is just a mess.
Luckily, she knows a thing or two about cleaning up a mess.
What she doesn’t know, is how to keep from noticing that for the first time in her life, someone else is looking out for her. Taking care of her. Making her feel safe. Special. Maybe even loved.
But giving love and accepting it are two different things.
And she’s never been great at the latter.
Cowboy and the Convict is a small-town standalone featuring:
🚔He arrests her
💔Widower
👖He makes dad jeans sexy
🔥Slow burn
🏠She cleans his house

MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Janice Whiteaker is a freakin’ genius! I can always count on her to write amazing stories with amazing characters, who have amazing chemistry! Seriously, Cowboy and the Convict managed to suck me in from the very first page! The first couple of chapters did take me a couple days to get through, because these characters’ emotions were just so raw and I had to take a couple breaks so I wouldn’t end up a sobbing mess! (I also had a busy week at work.) Just because I took a break did not mean I stopped thinking about this story though!
Janie and Devon’s story tugged at my heartstrings! I loved how Janice dug into their stories and brought them together! I loved Janie’s relationship with Devon’s daughters! I loved meeting Sharon and Devon’s parents! I loved Janie’s relationship with Mariah and I can’t wait to find out where Janice takes her story!! I’m also really looking forward to the next story in this series, The Cowboy Complication. The blurb at the end of the book absolutely hooked me in!!
Thank you Janice and Julie for the advance copy!
