After six years in the service and two tours of duty in Iraq, Travis Thompson eagerly returns home to Grass Valley, ready to resume his life on the Triple T Ranch with his two older brothers.
Always the wild-child, Travis doesn’t disappoint as he rolls from one adventure to another in his quest to keep his adrenaline pumping. He needs a release for the tension constantly building inside him, … inside him, especially after he discovers the girl he’s loved his entire life just moved back to Grass Valley.
In love with Travis Thompson since she was old enough to notice boys, Tess Morgan can’t stay away from him no matter how hard she tries. Convinced Travis sees her only as his best friend’s sister, she wants him to realize she is the woman who could love him deeply and passionately.
Will the two of them finally surrender to love? Anything is possible as summer spins its spell at the Triple T!

Travis Thompson, the youngest brother, left the Triple T Ranch almost seven years ago after the death of their father and joined the Army. Since his discharge, dealing with the aftermath of his time in the military hasn’t lessened. Refusing his family’s help, Travis leaps from one dangerous activity to another.
Tess Morgan left Grass Valley and moved to Portland to attend college and become a physical therapist. Growing tired of the city and with her mom injured and in need of help, Tess returns home to care for her and take a closer job.
Tess and her brothers grew up with the Thompson boys. Somewhere along the way but afraid to voice it, Tess and Travis began to like each other rather than seeing an annoying playmate. Years later, they both still fear getting their heart broken – Tess from Travis’s reckless behavior and Travis believing Tess only sees him as just another brother.
The Cowboy’s Summer Love, Book 3 of Grass Valley Cowboys, is the cutest love story despite dealing with a serious issue. Travis is that “bad” (but good-hearted) boy that attracts the girls. I really liked how he stuck to his morals and values while in the military. While the Thompson’s are a close-knit family, Travis and his mom’s relationship was extra special. Shanna Hatfield did an amazing job with these three brothers.
I purchased a Kindle copy of this book.
Really liked this series
Good Christian book. I enjoyed the moral standards.
Tess and Travis grew up together. Tess has been in love with Travis since she was old enough to like boys. She thinks that Travis only sees her as a sister.

Sweet story of family, love and courage.
I loved these stories……Thank you !
This was an entertaining story full of great characters. I enjoyed reading about the brothers and their girlfriends/wives. I’m looking forward to reading the sequels.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Good storyline. great characters who were easy to identify with. And, of course the hea!
Sweet story. A pleasant diversion, yet gives a view into the life of one with PTSD. Makes you think.
It held my attention. Very good!
I am forever amazed when I begin a Shanna Hatfield book. The heavenly-bliss is what romantic readers crave.
She is one amazing and talented author.
Her ability to bring love and joy into everyone’s heart through her books, is truly special.
Every time I read her books, I feel like I have become part of another loving family.
THE COWBOY’S SUMMER LOVE, was so, so special! !
Travis and Tess are meant to be, if only they can break through the barrier holding them captive.
Sometimes the demons we fight inside ourselves need to be released and set free.
Often, it takes a special person to help release those demons, face reality, and truly capture what’s been right in front of you, an entire lifetime.
The Grass Valley Cowboy Series is my favorite.
It truly captures life on the ranch, family values, and God’s Glorious Grace.
Great Read and lots of fun to see how this book relates to the other books in the series.. FUN SERIES if you like cowboys and romance..
The medical issues were interesting and dealing with PTSD is a very important topic
I loved this third book in the Grass Valley series.
Ms. Hatfield did a lot of research for this one as I know she does for all her historical books but this one was in need of special medical information and wow she amazes me each time.
I couldn’t put this one down but I had to.
This is the story of the third Thompson brother Travis, a vet who hasn’t been home long and has a lot of issues going one.
I highly recommend you read this moving romance story that has a lot of action and promise, disappointment and an HEA.
This one will move you to your core. It also was a magical wedding for the second Thompson brother and his bride to be and a special little love that brightens up the who Thompson Ranch.
Get this book and I know you won’t regret it.
Good story line. Too sappy
I love each book in the Grass Valley Cowboys series, BUT this book right here? My FAVORITE! The sweet love and chemistry between Travis and Tess takes the cake! It. Is. Perfect. I can’t even count how many times I’ve reread this book! Love how Travis looks at Tess and the way she makes him feel and vice versa. And I love how their “love story” started all the way back as kids. The whole book is just wonderful! Can’t recommend it enough! Definitely check this one out!
