This Brush Creek Brides Duo contains the first 2 books in the Brush Creek Brides Romance series: A Wedding for the Widower & A Companion for the Cowboy.Over 200 reviews for this bestselling duo!A Wedding for the Widower:Former rodeo champion and cowboy Walker Thompson trains horses at Brush Creek Horse Ranch, where he lives a simple life in his cabin with his ten-year-old son, Michael. A … life in his cabin with his ten-year-old son, Michael. A widower of six years, he’s just trying to provide a life for Michael that his late wife would’ve approved of. He’s worked with Tess Wagner, a widow who came to Brush Creek to escape the turmoil of her life to give her seven-year-old son, Graham, a slower pace of life. Together, they run a cotton candy stand at the town’s Heritage Festival every fall, donating the money they raise to the National Widows & Widowers Foundation to help those who’ve suffered the way they have.
Walker’s boss and best friend, ranch owner Landon Edmunds, has encouraged him to start dating, and Walker looks no further than Tess. She’s interested in him too, but neither of them wants to inflict more sorrow and suffering on the other than they’ve already endured. So when Tess confesses that her breast cancer has flared up again, Walker backs off. Way off.
In the end, he’ll have to decide if he’d rather spend even a short time with Tess and Graham than not have them in his life at all. Tess wants to feel God’s love and power, but she’ll have to discover and accept God’s will in order to find her happy ending.
A Companion for the Cowboy:Cowboy and professional roper Justin Jackman has found solitude at Brush Creek Horse Ranch, preferring his time with the animals he trains over dating. With two failed engagements in his past, he’s not really interested in getting his heart stomped on again. But when flirty and fun Renee Martin picks him up at a church ice cream bar–on a bet, no less–he finds himself more than just a little interested.
Renee’s living with her cousin in Brush Creek, having just graduated from college. She’s not ready to be an adult, has no idea what she wants to do for a career, and generally wishes everyone would just let her figure things out. She starts working for Dinosaur National Park, which has an hour-long commute that she spends thinking about Justin. With a decade separating their ages, she comes to realize that they’re from different generations.
His Gen-X attitudes are attractive to her; her Millennial behaviors drive him nuts. Can Justin look past their differences and take a chance on another engagement? And if he does, will Renee be mature enough and ready for a serious relationship? Justin and Renee will have to figure out how to pray and how to listen to God to find a way to their happily-ever-after.

I enjoyed reading it.
enjoyed both stories-clean romances-one dealing w/cancer & the other dealing with being rejected 2 times
Easy enjoyable read. Kept my attention. What I like best is even though it is a romance the characters have a strong fairh.
Shallow story line

As usual Isaacson doesn’t disappoint. Great Read.
All of Liz’s books are awesome! Her characters feel alive and are not all just fluff and fritter. You can identify with them.
