I love all of Jody Hedlund's books and I believe her to be a gifted writer. However, Convincing The Cowgirl is among my least favorites of hers. Usually marriage of convenience books are one of the best tropes. Unfortunately Convincing the Cowgirl is a bit low on plot. Most of the book is focused on the physical attraction between Patience Courtney and Spencer Wolcott. This book had a promising beginning and I did enjoy the ending, I just wish there had been more substance to the story.
I will continue to read Ms. Hedlund's books as everyone can have an off book. As always I look forward to reading her next creation.
I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
When unexpected visitors arrive at the Courtney Boardinghouse and claim the place belongs to them, Patience Courtney finds herself homeless and penniless. Having failed at so many things already in life, Patience is determined to find a way to survive and thrive.
When wealthy rancher, Spencer Wolcott, proposes a marriage of convenience, Patience accepts the arrangement. In exchange for a new home, she agrees to become the mother to Spencer’s precocious little girl so that he can manage his prosperous ranch.
As Patience falls in love with her new family, she learns Spencer has no intention of giving his heart away to any woman. With growing threats to the ranch, Spencer must decide what is truly important and whether he’ll allow himself to love again before it’s too late.

“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.
