Being accused of internet creepery isn’t the best way to meet a woman, but when an instant spark ignites between the two, it isn’t long before online chat spills over into real life dirty talk.

Single parents and a cowboy?!? You can’t go wrong with that and Elle Thorpe exceeding all expectations.
Bowen is a man on a mission for personal reasons. He wants that championship belt, even if it means spending time away from home and away from his son. Paisley is a woman who is just working her hardest to provide for her kids, especially with the lack of help from the children’s father. Bowen and Paisley’s lives couldn’t be more different from each other, however, their lives come together in a rather unexpected way.
I LOVED how Bowen and Paisley met. It was different, cute and fun. It was not how I was expecting these two characters to meet and that’s part of why I love it so much. From their first “meeting” things progress pretty quick for these two. They are drawn to each other, there is a connection that they both need to explore.
Talk Dirty, Cowboy was addicting from the first page to the very last. But that ending!?!?! SERIOUSLY! My kindle almost ended up across the room. I am DYING for book 2 in this series ASAP!
If single parents and sexy cowboys are your jam this a must read for you!
Lord knows I love me a cowboy and Bowen is all that with a side of sexy, dirty mouthed swagger. In my first book by Elle Thorpe “Talk Dirty Cowboy” we get to know single mom Paisley. Raising two kids on her own with little to no help from her ex; struggling to make ends meet, she none the less does all she can for her family. Bowen is a well off bull rider. Having lost his wife in a tragic accident he feels responsible for, he’s raising his son while trying to win a championship title. In what has to be one of my favorite meet cutes ever, these two unlikely people meet and the sparks fly. Though various obstacles lie in their path, these two come together and it is hot! I thoroughly enjoyed their road to happily ever after and look forward to reading the next book in the series. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review).
WOW – Very rarely nowadays that I get to say that in the beginning of a book review!!! But WOW. This is a true Cowboy story with all kinds of twists and turns and follow up on the twists and turns. The story somehow just has a meaning and while reading, just wow again! If you are a wuss like me, this story is also about three tissues worth or even five… But what I love is the HEA and no cliffhanger, but an independent story that continuous in book number 2 … With another set of main characters. I really like stories like this, that are a sequel but can be read independantly as they are not just about the same people over and over again, even though they are about the same core group and each story evolves around one or two or more of the group interlinking them together. And what I had not realized before I read it is that this story takes place in Australia which is truly Down Under from where I am sitting. That is such a nice change from the US typical scenery which I also like to read about. But this story here – if you like cowboys and rodeos and love stories and people this story should be for you ! I am at least very glad to be able to give it my very rare five stars!

We all know my love for cowboy romance books and Elle knows how to write some hot and steamy cowboys!
Elle is becoming a new favorite author to read! Her writing just sucks you into the characters world. It is the best.
She did not disappoint with Bowen and Paisley. I have to say the way they meet has to be one of my favorite things about this book! It is so different than anything I have read before but works out so great. It is super cute and sweet!
I just loved this book so much. The characters and all the secondary characters are written so well. They are all like a little book family that I can’t wait to read more about with the next coming books!!
5⃣
recommendation from me!!
This is a wonderful single parents story, where both Bowen & Paisley meet through a gaming console after their sons are finished playing their game. Both come from very different worlds, Bowen is a cowboy who rides in the rodeo & Paisley works at a place making deliveries. I loved how they came together and supported each other & all of their kids. It was great to see how a friendship started by playing video games turned into so much more.
Bowen and Paisley are single parents in this delightful story. If you like cowboy romances, this one will have you rounding up your very own Bowen! This story has emotional twists and turns that will keep you cheering for this couple to make it to a happily ever after especially after their ordeals.

A new year and brand new series, “Dirty Cowboy’ by Elle Thorpe.
While Talk Dirty, Cowboy is the start of a whole new series, it does have a small connection to the ‘Only Love’ series. But, the story and the main characters are what matters.
Bowen Barclay and Paisley Ackerly are two single parents. Paisley is recently divorced and down on her luck, fighting for every penny and with her douche of an ex-husband, while Bowen battles his fears and the bulls he rides he rides and has been doing so for four years, ever since his wife died.
They meet by accident and have an instant attraction even if it is over the internet. They keep talking and eventually, Bowen takes matters into his own hands and finds out where Paisley lives. From there it’s a rollercoaster of bull rides, game conventions and meet the parents. So much happening but Elle keeps her plates spinning while all the little extras in the story get their moment in the spotlight. I loved the kids, Paisley’s mom, and Bowen’s dad. Paisley’s snarky friend and Bowen bunch of guy pals. Even the bulls got a look in.
This was a fun, spicy and very entertaining story worth giving a chance. I can’t wait to see what Kai and Addie get up to in the next book.
First I just want to say look at that gorgeous cover! The inside is just as amazing as the outside. I’m a huge fan of this author’s work and this book is no exception.
Bowen Barclay, is a bull rider and a single parent. Paisley Ackerly, is a divorced, single mother of two, and struggling to make ends meet. Bowen and Paisley meet one night through their son’s gaming consoles through the TV webcam. So begins their late night talks and something they both looked forward to.
I absolutely loved Bowen and Ackerly’s story. It’s beautifully written, sweet, and has a balance of humor and heart. A captivating read from beginning to end and one I definitely recommend!
This is my fave by Elle Thorpe to date. Bowen is so damn swoon worthy. The way him and Paisley meet is the best. I seriously lol’d when she called him out for being a perverted animal! Omg! This story will have you laughing, swooning and Bowen’s dirty mouth is to die for! I highly recommend this book!!
I simply adored this book. It’s fun, exciting, romantic and just an all around great read. The author pulled me in from the very start with a well written 2nd second chance romance with characters I just fell in love with. Well except for Jonathan, he needed his head bopped on numerous occasions.
Paisley is a divorced, single mother of two who is struggling to make it. Bowen is a single father and a pro circuit Bull rider who is having his own personal struggles. They meet by chance when their boys leave their gaming consoles with the sound and camera turned on. Bowen and Paisley begin talking at night via the game console, something both look forward to during the late hours. From here the story takes you on a wild bucking ride that will make you smile, laugh and maybe want to maim an ex-spouse.
Kudos to the author for a fabulous read. I can’t recommend it enough. This is the 1st book of the “Dirty Cowboy” series and this reader is anxiously waiting for book 2, Ride Dirty Cowboy. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars. Grab this one up ASAP, you won’t regret it.
