***Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the ARC in exchange for an honest review***

I really enjoyed this book but I couldn’t give it 5 stars because it was a little slow at times and I didn’t really like Mimi. I loved Tess and Mason though and would happily read more books about them or the rest of Mason’s family.

You Had Me at Cowboy by Jennie Marts is a 2018 Sourcebooks Casablanca publication.

Tessa’s date for a wedding she didn’t even want to attend in the first place, stands her up. Before she can get away, though, her boss rings and informs her, she’s been fired, until he realizes she’s at the wedding of the famous hockey player, Rockford James. If she can get a juicy scoop, she will get to keep her job.

Mason James, Rock’s brother, isn’t a hot shot athlete. He’s a rancher, the one keeping the family land up and running. It's in in his blood, but unfortunately, he is often overshadowed and used to get close to his more famous brother.

He’s told over and over again, that someday he’ll meet the right girl, that he'll be the next one to get married. But Mason is fine being single- until he meets Tessa Kane.

You’ve heard of ‘cute meet’ before- but Mason and Tessa’s introduction is more like ‘awkward, beyond embarrassment, meet.” Mason, the gentleman that he is, offers to be Tessa’s date for the wedding. The more they see one another, the deeper they fall, but Tessa isn’t telling Mason the truth about her job, deceiving him, while gathering information for her article.

She's ridden with guilt and shame for her duplicity, but due to the financial straits she and her grandmother are in, she has no choice but to continue with the lie.

Mason is the quintessential cowboy through and through. He’s polite, gentlemanly, and falls head over heels for Tessa. He also seems to live by a certain creed and moral code, which means he loathes liars…

Uh oh.

Yes, trouble is brewing. Love can make us do stupid things, but it can also make us step up and do something we didn’t think we could, which is the best part of the story. Life is full of mistakes and conflicts, but it’s important to fight through it, because that one special person makes it all worthwhile.

I really liked the characters in this one. The momentum and pacing dragged in a few places, but overall this a very solid romance novel. There’s a little something for everyone in this one, from humor, an adorable pet, a few emotional moments, and a little steam, along with all that romance, plus the ending is just too cute!!

Contemporary romance lovers can’t go wrong with this one.
