The Littlest Cowboy

Not a genre I read a lot of but, I couldn’t resist the cover and the manly family quickly draws me in with the humorous dialogue…smiles, giggles, sweetness…and everything happens quickly in this romance with a hint of danger…one for all and all for one.

“She isn’t a stray dog, Jessi…You can’t just decide to keep her.”

“i’ve already decided. Now all I have to do is convince her she belongs.”

Sheriff Garrett Brand wakes up to a baby on his doorstep and note that says its his. Having raised his younger siblings on his own, he is no stranger to have young ones around the house, but this little one’s mama is in trouble.

Chelsea, grew up in home filled with violence. It is a past her sister hadn’t escaped. As Chelsea identifies her sister’s dead body, she once again is certain that she will never allow a man to have control over her life. She wants to find her sister’s son and make his father pay for what he has done.

I have a soft spot for rancher romances. Garrett Brand, of the Texas Brands, should be a cliche. He is a large, soft spoken, gentle man with a big heart, who has already proven himself a capable family man as show more he has raised his young siblings. In other words, too good to be true. Truthfully though, he isn’t. Instead he is the perfect hero for a story like this. He is just the right amount of swagger and confusion when dealing with the fairer sex. Chelsea should be a typical man-hating cynical heroine… wait, that is exactly what she is, though she comes around nicely in the end. Her character is a bit formulaic, but there is plenty of character in the Brand family. Each sibling is fascinating in his or her own way, and a story waiting to be told. The interaction between themselves and Garrett is heartwarming. It is obvious that little “Bubba” will have a place in that family if his aunt can get herself set straight The story itself was terrific. The great blend of cowboy, suspense and romance. I picked up this book as part of a set and I am looking forward to reading about the Oklahoma Brands. I actually have a few books from this author on #TBRList. She obviously can craft a story, she deserves a read for her Goodreads bio alone. show less

Pretty good for a stock series romance. Western setting. Interesting characters and the dialog isn't stilted or overdone. The villain is a little bit too much but probably as realistic as these things get. A fair amount of the books is dedicated to setting up future characters for a series.

Wow I just read this and I came to review it only to find out I’ve read it before! I had absolutely no memory of it. And it was just as crappy the second time as it evidently was the first.November 2020

I read a later volume in this series and liked it really well but this one just didn't work for me. Too hokey I think. The girl was TSTL also. I did like that the hero was supersized. I felt like a lot of elements that I like were there but the writing was just meh. Still this is an early work by this author and I'm sure she's improved since then.

3 1/2, maybe. It was sweet. There was action. It wasn't absurdly contrived. For a contemporary romance that's pretty huge! The author didn't go on and on about the physical perfection of the characters. It was very nice. I'll probably even pay for the next book! :P

Interesting plot, I've never read one quite like this. I'm a sucker for country boy and large families so this was a great read for me. Love the dynamics, for a romance it is one of the best I've read.

An enjoyable but a little predictable story - though all romance books are going to be somewhat predictable - The heroine is a little bit stupid and doesn't seem to have any survival instincts but her actions do move the story along.
