She won't lose the ranch without a fight, even if it means fighting him.

Kate Benton has wanted nothing to do with ranchers since she was fifteen and too-hot-for-his-own-good Landon Wyle caught her kissing his little brother during a cattle drive.

Yep, that event pretty much put an end to a lot of things, like her dignity.

But when her grandfather dies, he leaves his ranch to her with one provision: she has to live on Coyote Glen and keep it profitable for a year.

Kate is used to the finer things in life, such as sleeping in past the crack of dawn and fingernails that aren’t broken.

Mucking stables, fixing fences, and avoiding being trampled by angry cows isn’t exactly how she imagined spending the next year, but her family needs the land.

She’s in over her head. However, the man who can best help—Landon—is second in line to inherit if she fails.

And he’s only gotten more handsome. Of course.

Losing the ranch is bad enough, she refuses to fall for the man who wants to take Coyote Glen from her.

The Cowboy and the Girl Next Door is the first novel of a feel-good, Western romance series with lots of heart and plenty of laughs. If you like heroines with sass and hardworking men who look great in denim, you’ll love this swoon-worthy novel!

We believe in happily ever after, so no cliffhangers are allowed on our ranch.

An enemies to lovers clean Cowboy romance

The Cowboy and the Girl Next Door by Janette Rallison (4 stars)A well-written story with some humorous moments/situations. It resolved a bit too quickly, but it also reflected the new place that the heroine was in.I love that she was able to understand her grandfather better as she learned his motivations for his various behaviors/decisions.I thought the community was harsh and mean-spirited. But I will concede that they came to the rescue when they began to feel that she was one of their own.The heart-throb cowboy didn’t have much of a character arc, but he was a pretty amazing man.A fun enemies to lovers romance!

Great story felt unfinished

I would give this book 3.5 stars. I got it on kindle unlimited and really appreciated that it was a clean story without any bedroom scenes. I didn’t notice any typos or grammatical errors. I felt like there was plenty of detail and character development but things were left unfinished. I don’t know if they’ll be addressed later as each book in the series will be about a different brother. I’ll try not to leave any spoilers but maybe don’t finish reading this just in case that’ll bother you.1. I wish we could have understood the grandpa’s reasoning for the way he acted more with maybe a letter in the will or something.2. Landon mentions thinking Kate was special when she was younger but there wasn’t any hint of that3. Her parents made me so mad and they came across as selfish I wish she would have stood up to them even if they didn’t respond well4. The townspeople weren’t nice and only helped out in the end to help Landon which is fine small towns are hard. But why would she want to stay in a town that treated her like that with no friends. She says she’s going to be an interior decorator but how? They just get together and she’s making all the sacrifices. Not cool5. I would have liked to see the last 3 months of the year play out even if she lost the farm. Even just to see them working the farm togetherI will try the next in the series and see if I like it better
