Cowboy Tough

By Joanne Kennedy

Sparks fly when a sexy cowboy collides with a determined city girl out in a West filled with quirky characters and sizzling romance. Acclaimed for delivering "a fresh take on the traditional contemporary Western," Joanne Kennedy's books might just be your next great discovery!

Being a Cowboy is All He Knows...But No Cowboy Can Rein Her In.

Bronc-buster Mack Boyd can ride a wild stallion to a standstill, but he can't say no when his family prevails on him to come home and help run the ranch. The last person he expects to find there is a high-class Easterner like Cat Crandall.

When Cat Crandall gives up a lucrative advertising job to follow her artistic dreams, she's thinking Paris, Tuscany—not the vast and lonely open country of Wyoming. Her success at Boyd Ranch's artists' retreat could be her ticket to far more exotic places...but the rough and rugged cowboy she meets there is giving Cat a different kind of inspiration.

Reviews for Cowboy Tough

[rtb_3 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Reviewed by: AubreyBook provided by: NetGalleyReview originally posted at Romancing the BookI adore Joanne Kennedy’s cowboy novels. They are so fun and refreshing to read. You never feel like you have read the storyline else where. She may use a tried and true storyline of a cowboy and city girl but she makes it new and her own. In Cowboy Tough, she brings Cat to a Dude Ranch where she has to bring beauty where Cat does not see any.Cat left her high powered job to do what she loves. She’s feisty, sassy, creative and can hold her own with what life throws her. I loved Cat and all she had to give. She’s tough and needs an even tougher cowboy to fall in love with. Mack comes to the rescue for his mother. A man full of integrity and true cowboy grit he needs a woman who is soft and a lot city to soften him up.The secondary characters are a riot. I loved Mack’s mother. She reminds me of my grandmother. Cat’s niece is endearing and you want her to thrive. The writing and storyline were fantastic. Kennedy is definitely on my auto-buy after reading Cowboy Tough. The only thing that I wish she did was write series. I will recommend this novel to all my cowboy book lovers.

Cowboys, if you had missed it, I like them. Why, well do you really need a why?

Cat is a big city girl with dreams. Sure she has her problems, but it's tough trying to bond with your niece, when that niece is mourning. I get that.

The hero is a cowboy, like you did not see that coming, lol. Mack is nice and works hard to keep the ranch going. He used to be a bronc rider and came home to help his mum. Gotta love a good guy.

The story is about Cat trying to bond with her niece. Cat and Mack falling in love, being passionate, messing things up cos of spoilers spoilers. There is also the story of wanting the ranch to thrive and..well other things I can't mention either. But all good things to read about as they brought excitement.

A nice cowboy romance. Boy meets girl, and after a few fights things start to happen.
