Romancing the Conflicted Cowboy by Crystal Walton


Synopsis:

An out-of-place writer risking everything to stay. A conflicted cowboy afraid to risk letting her. And one little arrangement about to become more complicated than either bargained for.

For romance author Callie Claston, visiting a Texas dude ranch to save her career makes perfect sense. The harebrained idea to romance a veterinarian who thinks sending her into cow patty landmines is the art of subtlety, however, might qualify her as crazy. Then again, little does he know how much a challenge fuels her. Until it collides with a dream she never expected to be real.

Single dad Reed Allen has at least two reasons—both with smiles just like his—for trying to run off the intriguing city girl hiding a secret. But when he reluctantly agrees to help Callie with her research, knowing he should stay guarded around her does absolutely nothing to prepare him for the moment when he can’t.

Can a writer who’s never found her own ever-after and a cowboy who lost his too soon restore enough faith in love to start a new chapter together?

My Review: 4.5 Stars

One bad review. How can one bad review shake Callie Claston's publishers faith in her? Determined to prove to everyone that she can be a successful author, Callie grabs her best friend, Tricia, and heads to Sage Valley Ranch to gain an insiders perspective on ranch life for her next book. 

But nothing could prepare Callie for her best friend's scheming ways. How she got herself hooked into doing an article on romancing a cowboy in seven days, she'll never know. But with her career on the line, she'll do whatever it takes to save it. 

From the moment Reed Allen laid eyes on Callie, he knew she was trouble with a capital T. He should stay far away from her. But heaven help him, he can't say no to her shadowing him for the week. There's just something about her that draws him in and has his carefully crafted walls around his heart cracking. 

The more time they spend together, the more Callie realizes what she's been missing her entire life. Love. There's just something about the way Reed is with his girls that has her wanting to stay right where she is. It's feeling more like home than her actual home does. When she realizes that everything between her and Reed is real, she no longer has it in her to do the article. 

But when Reed discovers the truth behind why Callie is really shadowing him, his walls go right back up. He doesn't think he's strong enough to go through another heartbreak. But the heart wants what the heart wants and Reed can't deny his feelings for Callie. Both he and Callie will need to let go of the things holding them back if they're ever going to find their HEA. 

*dreamy sigh* 

Oh how I adored this book! I found myself laughing out loud, getting a little teary eyed and letting out little dreamy sighs while reading. I really enjoyed getting to know Callie, Ryder, Sam and Becca. Sage Valley Ranch is definitely a fun setting and I found myself wishing I was right there with them! 

You guys! If you're looking for a fun new series then I highly recommend trying this one! I can already tell it's going to be amazing! I can't wait for Holden's book! ;) 

Ms. Walton's books are always a fun getaway! Her books never fail to put a smile on my face and have me letting out little dreamy sighs. I'm looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us next! 

As for my casting... I am loving these two! What do you think?
