As a widow with young children, rancher Lottie Wilkes is determined to do two things. First, she’s determined not to get married again so that she doesn’t become like her fickle mother, who’s had many husbands. Second, Lottie wants to prosper and protect her ranch, which is proving hard to do against those who think there’s no place for women in ranching.
Jameson Noble has been a drifting cowboy since the day he ran away from home after a falling-out with his family. As he arrives at the Longhorn Ranch hoping for work, he finds himself in the middle of a gun battle, helping the beautiful ranch owner fend off the neighbor, who’s been harassing her.
Grateful for the assistance, Lottie agrees to hire Jameson for a month, which is as long as he’s willing to stay. His steady and faithful presence wins over her sons, and it’s not long before she’s falling for the drifter too. When her boys beg her to convince Jameson to be their new father, she refuses to consider love and remarriage . . . until it’s too late and she stands to lose everything.

The inspirational themes in this book are light, and the romance is the primary focus. While the romance is sizzling and the kisses swoony, both the language and physical attraction are clean and wholesome.

MY THOUGHTS.....
The Faithful Cowboy is another engaging story by author Jody Hedlund! She gives readers an amazing hero, an admirable heroine, and the perfect mix of conflict, pent-up emotions, and swoony romantic chemistry. Jameson Noble and Lottie Wilkes may have entered into a marriage of convenience, but it doesn't take long to see that their intense reactions to each other are anything but fake! Who can reject a friendship that's intensified by kindness and powerful physical attraction? Who can resist a man who wins the heart of two little boys?
The first three books were great, but this final book in the Noble Ranch series has become my favorite! It's perfect for fans of clean but sizzling historical romance!
I received a digital ARC from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
