Seconds chances come in their own time for a cowboy. For Mindy and Creed the flame remains.Newly divorced and empty nester, Mindy Sage, decided that her hometown might be the perfect place to reinvent herself, or at least find the wild and carefree girl she used to be before she moved away. She’s craving small town comfort, but the problem is, in Cooper’s Hawk, everyone knows everyone. Secrets … knows everyone. Secrets can feel as tall and wide as the Montana mountains that backdrop the friendly, picturesque town where she’d left her heart in the hands of a handsome cowboy nineteen years ago.
Search and Rescue team member, Creed Hawke, understood more than anyone what saving a life meant, but who would save him from the one woman he’d never gotten over? He’d moved on—or at least he thought he had until those old emotions come tumbling back with the vengeance of a forest fire. He’s reminded of how much he’d loved Mindy, wanted her, swore to marry her. Why couldn’t he forget her? Resist her? Deny her his heart? Because he’d fallen for her at ten and never came back up for air.
How can he forgive her for stealing his daughter from him?
Is love stronger than the mistakes they’ve made? Or are they doomed before they find forever?

Great book
This is a very enjoyable and clean second chance romance. Not really anything Montana about it. You do have to buy into any of her prior visits to her home not revealing anything and her father keeping the secret for 19 years…. That was almost too much of a stretch for me. It also stretched the ending just a little more than needed. Grammar check would have helped, too. But, the warm-hearted story is worth it.
I loved this story! Wonderful easy to relate to characters and a relaxing storyline.
Fantastic story and characters that will have you wanting more.
This is the first book in the Cooper’s Hawke Landing Series. Mindy and Creed were perfect together until she up and left town. Nineteen she returns with a secret. Creed still after all these years has not gotten over her. This is a perfect second chance love story between two people who despite being out of touch never lost their love for each other. A definite must read.
“Cowboy Creed” is the first book in the Cooper’s Hawke Landing series and this series is off to a fantastic start. This is a second chance at romance for Mindy Sage and Creed Hawke, who grew up together and had been in love ever since they were very young. Things happen, life takes them in different directions and spiteful people help to cause turmoil between the two. Now all grown up, Mindy gets a divorce and moves back home to find herself again, but the feelings she had for Creed are still there. The question is can they get beyond the past to find a future together.
This is an emotional journey for Mindy & Creed with sparks flying and they are not always the romantic kind. I cannot wait to read more in this new and exciting series!
Cowboy Creed is a great start to this new series! I loved the small town of Cooper’s Hawk and really enjoyed Creed and Mindy’s second chance love story. I hope Creed’s brothers, Hank and Boone, each get their own story!
I loved the story of Creed and Mindy. A second chance at the love of a lifetime. Sometimes we find true love only to let it slide threw our fingers, but given another chance would they be able to forgive secrets from the past. I’m looking forward to seeing Boone (Creeds brother) fall hard after some of his comments.
The past isn’t always the past
The start of a series placed in a small town. This one was about Creed and Mindy. Secrets kept and struggles with everyday life make this a story as real as a family can be. Easy to follow along pulling you in from the start.
Perfect beginning to a new series.
This is an amazing start to a new series. I am a big fan of Rhonda Lee Carver. This is a well written story about a second chance at love. The characters are awesome and I look forward to seeing where these characters go. I am also looking forward to seeing where this series goes. I don’t do spoilers so get this book I really think you will like it. This one is worth your time. This isn’t a quick easy read but it is great!!!
A wonderful start to a new series by Rhonda Lee Carver! Second chances, a vindictive shrew-ish ex, hurt feelings and mistrust all have to be overcome for these two to realize that the love they had is still alive and worth the trouble. Great read and wonderful start!
Mindy and Creed were life long friends and after a night of passion, things changed for them and not necessarily for the good. Because of misunderstandings, a spiteful girlfriend, and hurt feelings they never spoke again! Almost 20 years later they run into each other when Mindy comes back to Cooper’s Hawk to help her Dad on his ranch. Things start to heat up between them again, but will their relationship be able to survive a life-changing secret and a hateful ex?! Great start to a new series!
Wow! This was an amazing start to a new series that Ms. Carver has started. Creed and Mindy were together as teenagers but their lives took them on different paths. When Mindy returns home after a divorce, Creed is still there. I love second chance romances. There are all kinds of emotions in this story and you might want to have a few tissues on hand. Loved the connections between them and was hooked from the first page. When secrets come out in the open, will they still feel the same way about each other?A wonderful book to just get lost in on a lazy afternoon!
“Cowboy Creed” (Cooper’s Hawke Landing Book 1) by Rhonda Lee Carver is a great read. I loved Creed and Mindy’s story. This is a nice start to this new series. This story has romance, family, drama, ranch life, cowboys, entertaining characters, and more. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series. Recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, family, and series.
What a great, VERY unique story for Mindy and Creed by Rhonda Lee Carver!
This book was full of emotion, life changes, and second chances, and I enjoyed it from the very start. Mindy returns back to Coopers Hawke Landing after her divorce ready to rediscover herself and find her happiness. But in the process she of course sees her first love, Creed, and has to decide when and how to face the secrets she’s kept all this time.
Such a well written story and I cannot wait to see what’s in store best for this new series.
I absolutely love this new series. First, I love second chance romance and second, I love Rhonda’s books.
Cowboy Creed is a second chance romance and I really loved it.
Secrecy is not a good thing, and eventually they will come out.
Secrets are being kept all around and when they are all revealed, people are hurt, not physically but emotionally. But Rhonda has a way of telling her stories and you get all the feels, laughter, sorrow, angst, tears but most of all romance.
Mindy and Creed are both caught up in these secrets while their romance is rebuilding.
Their story is so heartwarming and they will get their HEA. But the road is slightly crooked and bumpy.
Read along and see the way they find each other again. I don’t know who or what is coming next, but if it’s one of Creed’s brothers, I can’t wait!!
Another great story by Rhonda. After her divorce, Mindy moves back to her home town. Mindy and Creed start to rediscover each other but Mindy has a huge secret. Once revealed will Creed be able to forgive her?
Beautifully written, deeply emotional and heart racing second change journey filled with relatable and engaging charters, witty dialog, exciting twists and undeniable passion. Really loved this heartwarming and emotionally powerful journey from beginning to end. Excellent reading!
What a great book I loved the characters and the suspense of a second chance meeting. Mindy had just got divorced and decided to come home for awhile while her daughter was going to college. She came home to help her Dad only to find out he sold some of his land to Creed. She was not happy. Creed and her had feelings for each other along time ago when they were very young he decided to go in the service and she left and went to California. Mindy had kept a secret from Creed and now she has to tell him and she wonders whether he will be ok with what she has to say. Read to find out what the secret is and if they have a HEA.
