I've always been a fan of unlikely pairs in romance, and this story of two people as different from each other as can be finding not only love but the inspiration to freely be themselves hits all the good spots.
There's something unexpectedly enjoyable about the seemingly unassuming librarian getting the town playboy, who is really just hurting and trying to hide it, to do her bidding and winning him over. Both Harriet and Jensen are interesting characters that stand out from the stacks of opposites attract characters by having personality traits that quickly make them empathetic. Harriet because of her awkwardness and straightforward nature. Jensen because his joker mask hides his depth and pain so well that even his family doesn't see it. They come together in a very romance-tropey way but it's also full of great moments of discovery for each character that makes this more than just the usual tropey, smexy goodness.
Overall, it's romantic, it's sexy, it's a few hours very well spent in pure escapist romance of the best kind. I highly recommend it.
Many very happy thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the early read!

Oh what can I say, the stereotype of the librarian and the cowboy to be redeemed, though well known, has its why and still hit home. I enjoyed it.
Oh che dire, lo stereotipo della bibliotecaria e il cowboy da redimere, per quanto tropo ben conosciuto, ha il suo perché e ha colpito ancora. Mi sono divertita.

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an advance reader copy of this story.
All Night Long With A Cowboy is book 2 in the Kittredge Ranch series. It's a stand alone book but you'll have characters from other books in the Cold River, Co series from Catlin Crews. This time we have Jensen Kittredge, the 2nd son and most laid back of the family. Jensen thinks if he laughs first and loudest then people will like him. He's got guilt for miles and insist on punishing himself, forever it seems. Until he meets Harriet Barnet the high school librarian. Tow more unlikely people you'll be hard pressed to find. Turns out Jensen has a librarian fantasy, about this particular librarian. They each break every rule they live by and it's a difficult road to an HEA. I like Jensen but wish he'd stop being such a big kid sooner. Harriet is just plane odd and she knows it too. I never would have thought of making a romance of them but then I'm not a writer with a vivid imagination.

While Jensen plays the laid back slacker that people expect from him. Do people underestimate him sure, but he uses it to his advantage. However Harriet the local librarian needs his help and she is willing to walk into the local watering hole.
Harriet needs help with her summer school kids, and they want Jensen. She doesn't understand why, but when she finally talks him into it and sees him with the kids, her plan just might work. Aiden is one of the troubled kids in her class, and Jensen finds himself helping him trying and fight the stigma of his last name, which Jensen knows a lot about.
I am at a loss on how to review this book. I liked the beginning even if it was a little slow to start. I liked the banter between Harriet and Jensen. Harriet was tenacious, and Jensen was hiding a lot of pain behind his carefree attitude. I really enjoyed the story with Aiden and seeing the scared boy fighting to be given a chance to change his destiny. I also really liked the ending and seeing how both Jensen and Harriet grew and opened up.
My biggest problem with this story was not only was Harriet a virgin which is my least favorite trope (more like despise) all the things I don't like about this trope happened.
With that said aside from the middle the beginning and the end was enjoyable.
I received an arc for review from the publisher via Netgalley. All opinions are my own and given freely.

Librarian Harriet recruits cowboy Jensen, a former high school football star, to speak to a group of struggling students. Jensen usually keeps things light when it comes to women, but awkward Harriet makes him question his bad boy playbook. Can these opposites find a future together?
This book is so much fun! Harriet is hilarious—self-assured despite her lack of sophistication. The author does an amazing job of showing these characters through each other’s eyes. And of course the romance is hot, hot, hot! Caitlin Crews is a master at contemporary romance, and this novel puts her talents on full display.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
