One Night with a Cowboy

Briar's Reviews

One Night with a Cowboy by Sara Richardson is an emotional roller coaster of a romance book (in all the best ways!).

My heart melted with this book and some of it honestly brought me to happy tears (which is quite the feat!). It was nice to have a book that made me feel so much, and it made me feel quite happy to call myself a Sara Richardson fan. But, you may be asking... why?

In this book we have Weston Harding (or simply, Wes) who is a hometown boy, rodeo clown/bull rider. His sister Jane is pregnant so he's sticking around and helping her out during a scary part of her pregnancy. Jane was working on a retreat with her college friend Thea Davis. Thea has a sad past - her husband died in Afghanistan, leaving her and their two children, Liv and Ryan, behind. Wes and Thea meet and butt heads (to no surprise) but slowly start falling for each other. Lots of drama and scary situations will come their way, but you know they will find a way to overcome it!

So many parts of this book made me smile and cry! "He was a goner." Man, that line made my heart do all sorts of back flips. And it's just a small sentence! But the timing and the story behind it... Yeah, it felt so good. And when you pair it with the very last sentence of the book... Yeah, so good! You'll need to read it to find out why it's so warm, fuzzy and wonderful! 

Ryan and Wes's relationship building was what actually brought tears to my eyes. Some of the comments Ryan says to Wes and Wes's reaction will make you feel SO HARD. My poor heart couldn't take the sweetness and beautiful aspect of their story. As someone who lost their own Father - finding someone who can give you experiences you thought you'd lost forever is amazing.

Add in how passionate this book is - R rated sexy scenes - and the wonderful heart to heart talks that happen in this book and you've got a winner! This is one marvellous book that romance fans will absolutely love! I highly recommend it.

Five out of five stars.

** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** \

Our two main characters in this book are Wes and Thea. Wes is a Bull Rider/Rodeo Clown, always one the move. He stays home to help his sister Jane, who is having a difficult pregnancy. Jane was putting together a retreat of sorts with her old friend college friend Thea. Thea is a widowed single mother whose husband passed away while he was deployed. When she shows up at the ranch and discovers Wes is in charge, she doesn't have much confidence in his ability to handle the retreat. They butt heats but as they spend more time and get to know one another we see sparks fly!

My initial feeling while reading is that the beginning is a little slow. It just felt like it took a while for our characters to really start interacting and watching the tension rise. I really enjoyed that our characters both have some traumas they are still working through, It made them feel more relatable and more real. I loved reading Wes and Ryan together. It honestly made me smile reading their relationship grow and the bond they started developing. Books that involve kids can be really hit or miss for me, thankfully this one was a hit. Overall this was a great read and I completely enjoyed myself while reading. I would for sure recommend.
