Cherishing The Cowgirl is book two in Jody Hedlund's Colorado Cowgirl series. The series returns readers to Fairplay Colorado and has guest appearances by characters from Her Colorado Cowboys series. I really enjoy series that can be read as standalone, but contain ties to each other.
Charity Courtney may be poor, but she is very strong and determined to provide a life for herself and her sisters, to the point of considering a marriage of convenience. Hudson Vanderwater wants to right a wrong from his past. I loved the dance as they tried not to fall in love.
I liked this book but would caution that there is a bit more sizzle in this series than some of Jody's previous books. It is still a clean book.
So brew a pot of coffee and settle in for a sweet read.
I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Charity Courtney is at her wit’s end trying to save her boardinghouse from a bank foreclosure. Short of money but not short of marriage proposals, she dreads putting aside her fairy tale dreams of love and having to settle for a marriage of convenience. But with the need to provide for her two younger sisters, she doesn’t have any other options.
While visiting Fairplay, wealthy railroad magnet Hudson Vanderwater hears of Charity’s plight. Although he comes across as cold and calloused, he is drawn to helping women in need because of a tragedy that destroyed his sister. He concocts a plan that will save Charity—he’ll employ her and rent her boardinghouse for the month and in doing so alleviate her debt.
With a grumpy and demanding new boarder who is now her boss, Charity determines to hold the handsome Hudson at arm’s length. But she’s the sunshine for his stormy soul, and he can’t resist being drawn to her. As danger closes in and threatens to destroy Charity, he’ll stop at nothing to save her.

“This one’s worth rounding up.” —Booklist, on Falling for the Cowgirl
*All of the books in the Colorado Cowgirls series are sweet, closed-door romances with plenty of sizzle. The inspirational themes are light, and the romance is the main focus of the books.
About the author:
Jody Hedlund is the author of over thirty historicals for both adults and teens and is the winner of numerous awards including the Christy, Carol, and Christian Book Award. Jody lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy children, and five spoiled cats. Although Jody prefers to experience daring and dangerous adventures through her characters rather than in real life, she's learned that a calm existence is simply not meant to be (at least in this phase of her life!). When she's not penning another of her page-turning stories, she loves to spend her time reading, especially when it also involves consuming coffee and chocolate.
