Grumpy Cowboy- Review

BLURB: 

ATTENTION: If you have been a victim of false advertising, you may be entitled to compensation. If you were ever hired to take care of a fourteen-year-old boy’s knee injury on a luxury ranch in the Middle of Nowhere, Utah, but that fourteen-year-old boy ended up being a tall, rough-and-tumble, muscular, one-hundred-percent all-man cowboy by the name of Rhett Jameson, you may have been put at risk for falling in love. Please seek counsel immediately.

Dear Counselor,

It was supposed to be simple favor for my very important boss, Frank Kaminsky of the Salt Lake Slammers professional basketball team—go to his good friend Tex Jameson’s luxury ranch and provide personal medical care for his recently injured teenage son.

I thought it’d be a working vacation of sorts—a chance for my city-girl self to experience something I would never otherwise do—but everything is upside down, and absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.

For one, this patient is not a teenage boy.

He’s a real-life, blue-eyed, tough-as-nails, thirtysomething cowboy who is so darn strong he looks like he could lift a car just for the heck of it.

He’s also stubborn, rude, and we don’t get along…at all.

Add in the heart-melting vision of him as a single father to the cutest little girl on the planet, and I’ve found myself in a whole different dimension of trouble.

Lust. Feelings. A whole lot of enemies-to-lovers-style complication.

Please help me. My name is Dr. Leah Levee, I am a victim of false advertising, and if I’m not careful, this Grumpy Cowboy might just be the death of me.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Leah is a Doctor for the Salt Lake Slammers professional basketball team when she gets asked by her boss to take care of his close friend's son and get his knee healed up. His son turns out to be a thirty six year old grumpy and stubborn cowboy. Rhett Jameson is a single father who after a night out ends up injuring himself. Rhett is stubborn and doesn't want to follow directions and take it easy. His dad Tex hires Leah to help rehabilitate his son so he can take over the ranch and not injure himself further. Rhett and his dad do not see eye to eye on things and after finding out he is getting a babysitter is not happy. After all, he has enough to deal with taking care of the Ranch and being a single father to his daughter Joey. Leah is stubborn too and doesn't give up on Rhett's injury, even if she has to change her dresses and heels to shorts and cowboy boots. As the two work together to take care of the ranch and heal Rhett's injury the two realize first impressions can change. Throw in the fact that Joey attaches herself to Leah and things are not going to be as easy as Leah thought when she has to leave in 8 weeks.

This was a cute story. I loved Joey and her sassy attitude and having all of the adults wrapped around her finger. Rhett's parents Tex and Jenny were perfect together and I loved that Jenny kept Tex in line. Rhett was grumpy in the beginning, but I could still feel the love he had for his daughter and how she was his whole world. Leah was great with dealing with the stubborn Jameson men and the adorable Joey. You could tell she fell in love with the little girl before anything even happened with Rhett. I loved the slow burn of Rhett and Leah's relationship and how they both grew to better versions of themselves together. I also loved their banter throughout the whole book. If you are looking for a funny cowboy book this story is for you!
