A sexy, small-town cowboy intent on righting some wrongs. A woman stranded and wanting to start over…

In the heart of Montana’s breathtaking ranch country, rugged cowboy Dylan Weston is determined to heal a decades-old family feud by uniting the Weston ranches with his cousins and brother-in-law. Strong family bonds and small-town loyalty run deep in Dylan, and he’s determined to do everything to make this work. But his life and goals skew sideways when he rescues the stunningly beautiful June Kincaid, who is fleeing the big city and a cheating fiancé.

Publishing executive June craves the quiet charm of the quaint Western town to heal her heart and finally chase her own dreams of writing a children’s novel while she works remotely. Sure, the betrayal still stings, but the sexy, protective cowboy ignites a scorching attraction that complicates everything.

As sparks fly, and Dylan’s extended family dabbles in matchmaking, June faces a quandary. Can she leave Seattle for good and trust love again, finally having the family she’s always dreamed of?

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Home to the Cowboy is the fifth title in The Westons of Montana series.  I’ve so enjoyed meeting all the Westons, and now it’s Dylan’s turn to find his true love… hopefully.  June has recently found her now ex-boyfriend in bed with another woman.  Fortunately, she can work remotely, so she decides to take a few months off to work from home, finish the children’s book she’s been working on, and get her head on straight where men are concerned.  She’s heading for Marietta, Montana, a lovely little town she’s visited before when her car broke down, leaving her to walk into town in the pouring rain.  She never expected the handsome cowboy to come to her rescue or be related to the person she did know in Marietta.  She certainly didn’t expect the almost immediate attraction, something she shouldn’t be reacting to, given her recent history.  

Dylan has great plans to bring his entire feuding family together again.  It just might work if he can get everyone on board.  What he hadn’t planned on was June.  This beautiful woman with the sad eyes captivated him, and the need to know more about her was immediate.  The attraction between them was sparking flames… too bad neither really knew what true relationships are supposed to be, given their personal backgrounds: June living in foster care and Dylan with dysfunctional parents.  They are about to blunder their way through, and yes, mistakes and miscommunications are about to happen before they face a simple fact… love is worth the fight, worth doing it right, and despite their baggage, they are worth a shot at happiness, together.

I had fun, back in the Weston’s world again.  Dylan and June make a perfectly imbalanced couple at first, both leery of the other, not trusting in love or forever, and neither knows how a real, honest, emotional relationship is supposed to work.  They never saw them in action growing up, so learning to communicate with each other is an ongoing life lesson.  I loved catching up with this extended family, especially the slightly paranormal moments (blink and you might miss them) that make some members of this family quite unique.  Home to the Cowboy is well-written, steamy, emotional, and satisfying.  If you love a romance where the couple is far from perfect but end up being “perfect” for each other, a huge family that often “helps” a romance along, then you’d enjoy June and Dylan’s romance.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the author or the author’s team via Booksprout, and I sincerely thank them for their trust. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Do you love anything (any story) that’s even slightly connected to Marietta, Montana?  Yeah, me too.  Be sure to visit our Marietta, Montana pages (this link to where this series is located – there are three pages :)) to catch up on the series that you might have missed over time.  It’s quite an amazing and diverse community, with happily-ever-after endings guaranteed.
