My Rating: 4.5 Stars

Olivia Belle has just gone to a wedding and was actually proposed to. However, it was more like a business proposition. Very little romance was involved. Olivia decides to head to her grandparents' hometown to look for their love letters of fifty years ago. She thinks finding them and reading them will teach her how to actually find a love of her own.

Sheriff Cash Hawkins quickly pulls over a woman speeding through town. Business indeed, but Cash wouldn't mind getting to know the woman better. He gets that very opportunity when he discovers that she will be spending a little bit of time in his town. He soon discovers that he is not the only one looking for a happily ever after.

What an adorably story! It was quite humorous at the outset with what happened after Olivia got pulled over, but it was also a sensitive love story. I loved Olivia and Cash's story and actually have read the entire series before writing this review.

Although Saved by the Cowboy is a novella in the Crossroads Ranch series, this book can be read as a standalone.The first story in the series is Second Chance Cowboy and is followed by Tough Luck Cowboy and Hard Loving Cowboy. ( )

This was just a whole lot of fun. I really went into this story with no expectations since I have never read any of A.J. Pine's work but I ended up really enjoying myself. This was a novella so it can easily be read in a single sitting and works really well as stand alone. This is one of those stories that just left me with a big old grin on my face because it was just such a feel good romance.

Cash is the sheriff in the small town of Oak Bluff. It is a quiet town without a whole lot of excitement. It is just him and his dog and he is looking forward to quiet night on the job. He didn't count on Olivia. Olivia is caught racing through town in a bridesmaid's dress after fleeing a proposal. One thing leads to another and Cash ends up taking Olivia to the station.

This story started out on a pretty comical note but it was obvious early on that these two were great together. Cash was such a nice guy and wanted to spend as much time with Olivia as he could. They have both been burned by previous relationships but they just seemed to fit very well with each other and seemed to be ready for more in their lives. I thought that they had great chemistry with each other and that their emotions felt really authentic.

I would recommend this story to others. It was a really playful story and a romance that you couldn't help but want to see work out. I loved the humor worked into the story and the characters were easy to fall for. I wouldn't hesitate to read more from A.J. Pine in the future.

I received a review copy of this book from Forever Yours (Grand Central Publishing). ( )

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Ok I normally like this author, this book not so much will not continue to read this series. I don't mind insta-loves but this story was just too rushed. In this day and age for these two to have sex with no protection, what?, yeah can not condone and cheating hate it. ( )
