BLURB:
Grady’s spent his whole life in Moss Creek, Montana, helping out on his family’s ranch and keeping the town he loves safe. There’s nowhere else he’d rather be.
Except for Evelyn Warwick’s bed.
The newly arrived New Yorker is a breath of fresh air in his stagnant and stale life— one he seeks out at every opportunity.
Which is how he ends up claiming to be her fiancé, hoping to run her meddling twat of an ex out of town.
But it turns out a vindictive ex is the least of Evelyn’s problems, and when Grady offers his help she makes a proposition he can’t refuse.
Now he’s pretending to be her future husband indefinitely, complete with wedding plans, shared closet space, and nights in the same bed.
And it’s not long before there’s very little fake about their arrangement.
Cowboy of Convenience is a fake fiance, only one bed, opposites attract, small town romance. It's low angst, high heat, and guaranteed to leave you with a hankering for a man with a drawl...
And a set of handcuffs.
MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I absolutely adored this book, and completely devoured it in two days! Grady and Evelyn…I couldn’t get enough of them! I loved how they acted when they were together! Grady is such a goofball, I absolutely loved how he helped lighten Evelyn’s load through his humor. Evelyn, I loved how she was there for Grady when he needed her. Her upbringing didn’t give her many tools to work with, but caring for Grady came as naturally to her as breathing. I really loved when she would just stop whatever she was doing and hug him.
Grady isn’t the only one Evelyn cared for in this story. She also cared for the geriatric girl gang who are more often than not, up to no good lol. I love the breath of fresh air and the snorts of laughter these characters bring to Moss Creek! I also really loved Evelyn (and Grady’s) relationship with Evelyn’s grandmother. I loved what Janice did with her character!
This is the first book in a brand new subseries that Janice has written in the Moss Creek world about the fine men of the Moss Creek Police Department. If you have not read any of the previous books in the Moss Creek world, you can rest assured that you don’t have to read any of them to understand this one. I do recommend that you do read them though as they are fantastic! You’ll also get to see some repeating characters (such as the geriatric girl gang) sprinkled throughout those books.
Thank you Janice and Julie for the advance copy!
