Rodeo is his past …
Is she his future?
After an injury forces rodeo cowboy Cole Carter into early retirement and returning home, he’s drawn to the spunky new animal physical therapist. But as much as he likes easygoing Mel McNeil, the divorcée and her young daughter need stability, not his footloose life. When rodeo calls again, will Cole jump back in the saddle or finally become the man Mel deserves?

My review
When I started reading A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy, I’d forgotten that I’d read Montana Reunion, the first book in this series. As I kept reading, I was thinking to myself, “This sounds a lot like that one book I read….” I read a lot of books…it’s hard to keep track! So, I searched for Jen Gilroy, the author, on Goodreads and sure enough, it’s the second book of The Montana Carters series! Though you don’t need to read Montana Reunion to enjoy A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy, I adored it, and it’s worth reading!
Montana Reunion’s story centered around Zach Carter. Cole Carter “stars” in A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy. Cole, a former rodeo star, is back on his family’s ranch after a horrible, career ending injury. He’s not quite sure where he fits in back on the ranch. I’m sure most of us would feel the same if we were suddenly facing a life much different from what we imagined. Mel McNeil is also living a life that’s different from what she imagined due to an injury. However, she’s been living this new life for seven years, and she feels blessed in it. After living close to her family, she’s lived in this small town in Montana for six months. She’s making friends and loving her new life.
This book is filled with wonderful, well-written characters. They’ve got hard issues they’ve either dealt with or are dealing with currently. They don’t always say the right things or make the right decisions. In other words, they’re like we are! The characters absolutely make the story. I love the small town feel and the friendships Mel has made. I want to live in a small town where people actually interact and do things together! I guess I need to move to Montana. The author brings the setting to life with her descriptive writing. I especially love imagining those beautiful sunsets.
If you are a fan of clean romance books with great characters, a gorgeous setting, and real life issues, you will enjoy A Family for the Rodeo Cowboy by Jen Gilroy. I highly recommend it!
