A Cowboy To Marry

By Cathy Gillen Thacker

Libby Lowell's mind is made up. The only way for the widow to go forward with her life is to leave Laramie, Texas, behind. She should have known rugged rancher Holden McCabe would try to stop her! Her husband's best friend is Libby's fiercest protector. It's not that she doesn't want or need Holden's broad shoulder to cry on. But it's time to put away the past.

Holden isn't letting Libby get away so easily. He hasn't forgotten how she turned to him in her hour of need and the painful secret she shared. But his idea to push them both into moving on backfires when passion leads to pregnancy something Libby's wanted for so long.

Is this their biggest mistake or the second chance they've both been searching for?

But his idea to push them both into moving on backfires when passion leads to pregnancy…something Libby's wanted for so long.Is this their biggest mistake…or the second chance they've both been searching for?This was a sweet sexy romance and is perfect for getting in the holiday spirit. I liked both the main characters and I like the friends to lovers story line. I finished this book with a sigh and the strong urge to find me a cowboy to go looking for mistletoe with, Holden made the perfect hero if I could only find one like him in real life! The addition of the library side plot was also fun and brought out the small town feel. This is a fun read to get swept up in. I'll give it 4 stars

Libby Lowell has decided to sell her husband family business and leave town. She is afraid if she stays here she will never have a family of her own someday. Also do something else besides sell farm equipment.Holden was with Libby's husband on a white water rafting trip when he died. Holden promised to take care of Libby. At the time of the trip they went to help Holden get over his divorce and loss of the baby.So neither one had been on the dating scene for awhile. So they decided to be each others rebound dates and get through the holidays as each other's date.Of course its starts out a lot different before they start dating and having feelings for each other. Right of way there is someone wanting to buy the dealership. Community Library is closed town for a year or so unless they can figure away to get the repairs needed sooner.I enjoyed it probably more because I did not enjoy last book I read today as much. this was a quick read started and did not stop till I had finshed. I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review.
