This is Gavin's story; we know him as the twin brother of Bobby from the book Perfect Player. I can't wait to get to know this character better. The book's blurb has a few hints about what this book might contain, but I'm sure I'll be surprised by the actual story. This book didn't disappoint; it is a small town second chance romance with some appalling surprises and some swoony interactions. The book is steamy and filled with strife, but I loved how this story ended. Gavin is a true gentleman and cowboy, and he is very protective of his family, friends, and one true love. Ashley has trouble knocking at her front door as she goes home to this small town and finds herself and what she wants. The two characters were amazingly written, but the dramatic events may slightly turn your stomach. Still, I did enjoy the reprieve in the story from the action. I didn't love this book as much as I loved Perfect Player. I think maybe the type of drama in it was a bit too much for me. This book will need an author warning for the not overly described but unsettling scenes with animals.

This book begins with Gavin in his home in his small town in Montana; it is a chilly November with a crazy amount of snow expected. Gavin is grumpy, single, and happy with his life. He loved and lost before and didn't want to again; she burned him bad. Who is Ashley? I want to know what history he has with her?

The books jump to her pov, so I guess we get to learn more about this mysterious girl. We get a hint, but this story is certainly intriguing. There is a lot of animosity between this small town and her, including Gavin. I have no idea why but I can't wait to find out. So I really love that Gavin has a big heart. Despite the past, his morals don't change; instead, he reacts precisely like I would expect this character and further ingrains that cowboy respect.

With this amount of chemistry and history, I'm not surprised this book gets steamy as the characters explore the adult versions of each other. The truth of the past comes out, and it isn't much better than the thoughts on what happened, but can they move forward?

I didn't expect that arrangement, but I love that this cowboy thinks with his brain. This book gets very steamy. This book is tragic, and this couple has some major decisions. I love the ultimate choices they make and follow thru on, and I love the epilogue of this story the most oh my goodness, swoon, and it was the perfect ending to this story.

Gavin's story has now been told. I loved all three books in this series. It was great to see Gavin get his happy ending. Although, I have to say that this book is the most angst out of the three books. Readers of enemies to lovers novels will want to pick up this book. Perfect Cowboy is the "perfect" spicy read!

To be honest, as I have gotten to know Gavin from the prior novels, I expected him to be the last to find his forever woman. He was a player but it was nice to see him change. The tension between him and Ashley was HOT. It just got even steamier the longer they went before crossing the line. No matter what Ashley may have done to Gavin in the past, I could not be mad at her. She was a sweetheart.

Just like the other two books, I could not read this book fast enough. In fact, I read it in one sitting. Fans of Olivia's will love this book and new readers need to check out all of Olivia's books.

Hot! Hot!! Hot! I just love Gavin and Ashley! I was sucked into the story from the second I started reading! I knew Gavin was awesome with the glimpses we saw in other books and I wasn't wrong! He is so alpha! Ashley is strong and vulnerable! They are so perfect together! I loved the suspense and really enjoyed that part of the story unfolding. My heart feels good after finishing this story!!
