Falling for the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund

5.0

Hold tight to your horse because Ivy McQuaid will keep you laughing, cringing, and reading just one more chapter to find out how in the world her years-long affection for Jericho could work out when so much is going wrong. During the years Jericho has been absent, Ivy has pursued her dream of owning her own ranch in the Colorado Territory. Some of her methods for earning the money are a bit unconventional, and Jericho returns unexpectedly to find her, as always, causing him to fear for her safety and trigger conflict with his interventions.

This story is sweet romance and delightful angst and explosive chemistry and conflict all through, and the ending took me by surprise. Whether or not you've read the other books in this series, you can dive into Ivy's story and not feel behind; the author is great at setting the stage and keeping each book in the series complete in itself.
