Charity Courtney is at her wit’s end trying to save her boardinghouse from a bank foreclosure. Short of money but not short of marriage proposals, she dreads putting aside her fairy tale dreams of love and having to settle for a marriage of convenience. But with the need to provide for her two younger sisters, she doesn’t have any other options.
While visiting Fairplay, wealthy railroad magnet Hudson Vanderwater hears of Charity’s plight. Although he comes across as cold and calloused, he is drawn to helping women in need because of a tragedy that destroyed his sister. He concocts a plan that will save Charity—he’ll employ her and rent her boardinghouse for the month and in doing so alleviate her debt.
With a grumpy and demanding new boarder who is now her boss, Charity determines to hold the handsome Hudson at arm’s length. But she’s the sunshine for his stormy soul, and he can’t resist being drawn to her. As danger closes in and threatens to destroy Charity, he’ll stop at nothing to save her.

“This one’s worth rounding up.” —Booklist, on Falling for the Cowgirl
*All of the books in the Colorado Cowgirls series are sweet, closed-door romances with plenty of sizzle. The inspirational themes are light, and romance is the main focus of the books.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Are you ready for a story that captures your heart and stirs your imagination? Who else but Jody Hedlund could pair a young woman raised by Quaker parents with a sophisticated businessman from Baltimore and give them a romance that is both sigh-laden and swoon-worthy? Charity Courtney's initial introduction to Hudson Boylston Vanderwater III involves her rescuing him from an angry moose and this laugh-out-loud moment helps lighten an adventure that's filled with murder, kidnapping, robbery, and downright devious villains! This moose rescue also sets the stage for an amazing attraction that's just begging to be explored!
Cherishing the Cowgirl is an exciting Western story that features intriguing characters, a tantalizing romance, and a nod to the poor girl/rich man scenario. It's also a captivating introduction to Charity's two sisters, Patience and Felicity, who are set to be the next two Colorado Cowgirls. So, grab a copy of Cherishing the Cowgirl, settle back in your favorite reading spot, and prepare to be swept away. This book is a perfect addition to summer reading lists, and I especially recommend it to all who enjoy historical Western romance.
I received an early digital copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
