This was SO adorable and super sweet. I was kicking my feet and giddy at times.
Jensen left his inner cowboy behind when he set off for NYC, hoping to make a name for himself and forget his childhood. Briar didn't have the best upbringing either, but she stuck around, works for the family that took both her and Jensen in at hard times in their lives, and loves her quiet life on the farm and with her hilarious friends. She has aspirations to help other children who have experienced trauma or grief the way the Halsteads helped her.
When Jensen learns he has a 5-year-old son he didn't know about and that his mother has passed on and left him in Jensen's care, he doesn't even hesitate. I LOVED that he was 100% all in to be Caleb's dad and do what was best for him, even if it totally upended his comfortable, penthouse-living, corporate lifestyle. Caleb is still processing the grief of losing his mother, and Jensen wants to be patient with him, but realizes he also needs some help. He decides to return to the ranch and family who were there for him when he needed them most. In the process, Briar becomes someone whom Caleb trusts and opens up to, and Jensen finds himself doing the same.
I really adored how these three came together and became a little family unit, even if they weren't expecting it. The Halsteads are awesome people, and the way they continue to be there for Jensen, even though he had moved away, was beautiful. Caleb was the cutest little boy, and I loved how comfortable he grew to be with his dad and everyone else around him, especially the animals!
This was truly a heartwarming book, and I loved every second of it! Thank you to Ann and her team for the ARC!

Ann Einerson has smashed it out of the park yet again! I’ve been looking forward to ‘Wrangled Love’ ever since hearing that Ann was doing a cowboy romance, and it did not disappoint at all.
This story was equal amounts sweet and spicy, the single dad aspect and his son, Caleb, making my heart ache. Then we have to take a moment to swoon over Jensen and Briar!?
Jensen gives pure daddy vibes and I am ✨so✨ here for it it’s unreal. I absolutely are this story UP and the spicy scenes were to die for. Already looking forward to the next book 😍

Oh. My. Gosh.
I loved this small town romance so much! I’m a sucker for a good age gap and single dad trope. 😏
This book pulled at my heartstrings from beginning to end!
I absolutely loved how much love Jensen and Briar showed Caleb as they helped him navigate through his grief. It was very touching.
I was happy to see Jensen get his closure when it came to Amelia because I know that was part of why he was having a hard time in the beginning of this book.
I loved how we got to see both Jensen and Briar grow throughout the book and how they were able to be one.
I loved the cute names of the small town restaurants, stores, and bar. Ann did an amazing job describing the town, scenery, the ranch, and animals. I felt as though I too, was at Silver Saddle Ranch. 💕
It was a somewhat of a slow burn when it came to Jensen and Briar. I typically don’t like slow burns but this one wasn’t bad AT ALL. I was rooting for them and did not want to stop reading! I loved the ending and was so happy that I was able to read it.

This was a super cute low angst read.
Jensen took being a new dad by the horns and did everything in his power to make sure his son was safe, loved and cared for. He really stepped up and ended up moving back to the place he said he never would again. Overtime, he realized he's more of a cowboy than a city slicker.
Oh I loved Caleb so much. He was just so sweet and had something terrible happen to him so young. I loved watching him open up and become himself again. I love the moments we got with Ziggy and how that little goat and Caleb had such a connect. And his support Dino, Chompers, I loved watching him need it less and less over his time.
Briar was a perfect match for Jensen and the way she loved that little boy, had my mama heart so happy.
I can't wait to see where this series goes!

I enjoyed reading Wrangled Love. The single dad, brother’s best friend, small town, cowboy romance.
Jensen has his world turned upside down as he learns he is a father from a one night stand. He's unsure what to do, so he reaches out to the woman who basically raised him. Then as he meets his son, he is told Caleb has not spoken since his mother was taken to the hospital.
A quick decision takes Jenson back to a place he did not think he would ever return. Silver Saddle Ranch welcomes the two. He is sharing a cabin with Blair, who is great with Caleb from the start.
Both have had trauma in their youth, but there is chemistry between the two. I did enjoy all the side characters, the chicken liberation, and Ziggy the fainting goat. I am looking forward to more of this series.

I loved watching big-city CEO Jensen return to his Montana roots with his newly discovered son, Caleb.
The connection between Jensen and Briar—his best friend’s sister and Caleb’s unexpected nanny—is instant and electric.
Their summer romance is filled with porch swing confessions, Ferris wheel kisses, and all the cozy, emotional vibes.
Caleb completely stole my heart, and I loved how the found family, side characters, and pets brought so much warmth to the story. A perfect start to a series I can’t wait to keep reading!

I really enjoyed this one. I love how naturally Briar and Jensons relationship progressed and how they were open and honest with eachother as much as they could be. Caleb was so cute and I loved seeing him come out of his shell. I liked that it was a low angst story about the many kinds of love there is and that sometimes the family you find for yourself has more love in it than you can imagine.

Wrangled Love is the first book in a new series and I absolutely loved it! Jensen all of a sudden finds himself with a 5 year old son, Caleb, and returns back to his hometown so he can figure it all out. Jensen & Caleb move in with Briar, who also agrees to be Caleb's nanny.
Jensen & Briar had such a sweet love. It was a slow burn and it was delicious. They had a connection that neither of them could ignore. Add in Caleb and the three of them became a family so easily and effortlessly. It was like it was meant to be that way all along.
Jensen didn't hesitate to jump right in as a new dad. He loved his son instantly and wanted to love and protect him forever. I love the relationship Caleb & Briar developed as well. She became a safe space for him and it was so sweet. I loved that she didn't try to replace his mama. My heart broke for sweet little Caleb quite a few times but I loved seeing him break through his trauma and grief and find comfort in his new family.
The fainting goat had me laughing and I was not expecting the tears towards the end either! I was feeling all the emotions with this one. I loved all these people and this town and cannot wait to read more.
What to expect:
🧡Age Gap
🤍Brother's Best Friend
🧡Surprise Single Dad x Nanny
🤍Forced Proximity
🧡Small Town

“I’m living proof that sometimes the best kind of life is one with muddy boots, starry skies, and a heart full of love. It’s safe to say that I’ve been completely wrangled by love.”
Where do I even begin? This book was absolute and utter perfection!! Every single trope hit so perfect, (but especially the found family) and the epilogue was so beautiful! I think Bluebell, Montana has become one of my favorite fictional towns I’ve visited!
After a tragedy, Jensen finds out he has a young son, and immediately jumps into action. Realizing his fast paced work life in NYC is not where he wants to raise a child, he packs up and heads back to his hometown of Bluebell, Montana, to the ranch where his found family raised him, and lands straight in the arms of his best friends sister, Briar.
Obviously, this is a love story and I loved watching Jensen and Briar fall for each other because they were so perfectly what each other needed. But second to the love story is watching Jensen’s son Caleb heal and steal the heart of Briar. Their relationship was so gentle, and heartwarming. The way Briar was able to nurture and love Caleb after all he had been through melted me.
Everyone in this small quirky town of Bluebell was hard not to love, there were so many side characters that had me giggling throughout the story, especially all the secret animal rescue missions. I can’t wait to return back to this town for the future stories to come.
If you’re looking for a Cowboy Romance that will sweep you away in all the emotions, swoon, and spice than look no further; you are going to love this one!

Some of my favorite quotes:
“Every woman deserves to be claimed by a man who’s not afraid to make her beg for more and show her what she’s been missing.”
“You have a beautiful soul, Briar Halstead. Thank you for loving my son as much as I do.”
“Careful, darlin’. I play to win. Now…” I trail my fingers down her thigh. “Take. Your. Panties. Off.”
“I see you, Briar Halstead. Always trying to shoulder everything on your own because you think asking for help is taking advantage. It’s not. You’re one of the most compassionate and loyal people I’ve ever met. Whether you’re off on a chicken heist, helping a friend, or comforting someone in need—you always show up, no questions asked.”
“Only for my favorite girl.” “Charming and a sweet talker? That’s a dangerous combination, cowboy.” “Can’t help myself when you’re around, darlin’.”
“As we come down together, tangled and spent, it hits me. I’ve fallen for Briar Halstead. I didn’t anticipate or plan for this, yet the truth is impossible to deny. I’m hopelessly and completely hers.”
“You know what this means?” I whisper. She tips her head to meet my eyes. “What?” “You’re mine, sugar.” She smiles against my lips. “Then why don’t you claim me properly, cowboy?” I take my hat off, placing it on her head. “Gladly.”
“I’ve believed in you from the start. All of us did. We were just waiting for you to believe it, too.” This is one of the many reasons I’ve fallen for her. She had faith in me as a dad before I had any of my own, and has been by my side through every uncertainty.”
“The woman of my dreams is going to be my wife, we have the most amazing son, and our home is full of laughter and joy. I’m living proof that sometimes the best kind of life is one with muddy boots, starry skies, and a heart full of love. It’s safe to say that I’ve been completely wrangled by love.”
