Wild Ride Cowboy

By Maisey Yates

He's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon to keep a promise – even if it means losing his heart…

Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex–military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother–in–arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade's sister – a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough–as–iron Alex to his knees.

Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honourable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him too…about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.

Reviews for Wild Ride Cowboy

[beckymmoe_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

'm behind in this series--the last book I read was Last Chance Rebel , which coincidentally had an overly prickly heroine (Rebecca Bear) who reminded me so much of Wild Ride's heroine, Clara Campbell. (So, yeah. I still need to read the first two Donnelly brothers' stories--and I even have them already! No. Excuse.) Clara and Rebecca had vastly different reasons behind their antisocial-ish tendencies, and in both instances Ms. Yates took me from thinking OMG, what is up with this chick? to OMG, you poor thing! Come over here and let me give you a hug. Oh, no? Okay...how about you let Gage/Alex give you a hug instead? Or...something else? ;)Oh, this book. It made me laugh one minute (so many highlighted passages!) and darn near weepy the next. And their big grand gesture moment? Sigh worthy. You'd better believe I'm going to read Finn and Cain's books as soon as I get the chance ( Slow Burn Cowboy and Down Home Cowboy ), and am soooo reading Liam and Sabrina's story ( Christmastime Cowboy ) as soon as humanly possible, because this series.In the meantime, I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from Clara. I don't share her unholy love of Spaghetti-Os, but these words spoke to me:"Life is too upsetting to try to force yourself to eat kale on top of everything else."Preach it, sister.Rating: 4 1/2 stars / AI voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wild Ride Cowboy by Maisey YatesCopper Ridge #9The Donnellys #3This is the first book I have read by this author but not my last. The book was well written, the characters well developed and the story believable. I enjoyed the story and when the book ended wanted to know more about the Donnelly brothers, the women at the winery Clara works part time at and wondered if Asher the barista would find love and if so with whom. In this book Alex Donnelly has returned to the family ranch after being discharged from the military. He is there to help on the ranch but has also been given the task of helping his buddy Jason’s younger sister – now alone as both parents and her brother are dead. Clara Campbell is in a funk and crushing on a barista when Alex steps into her life and begins to drag her out of the doldrums. Though he is ten years older than her at twenty-one she is a woman and knows what she wants – Alex. There are ups and downs and issues to deal with BUT there is eventually a happily ever after and a hook for Liam Donnelly’s story which is next in line. Thank you to NetGalley and HQN for the ARC – This is my honest review.4 Stars
