It should have been simple and straightforward—business, and nothing but business. A quick trip to Colorado to scout out a location for my newest real estate development acquisition. Fly in, drive to the location, talk the owners into selling, sign some papers, and go home.A business trip like any other, something I’ve done hundreds of times without issue. This time, however, I was waylaid. First … was waylaid. First by a runaway horse—and then by an angry, stormy pair of vivid blue eyes, a massive, mountainous set of brawny shoulders, a strong, powerful pair of hands, and a voice like thunder over the horizon.
Will is a man out of another era, a man of stillness and action in equal measure—a man in complete possession of himself and his world in a way I’ve never experienced. And suddenly, somehow, he comes to possess me, my mind, my heart, and and my body, in a way neither of us are ready for, and neither of us know how to resist.
What should have been a simple business deal quickly spirals out of control, becoming a struggle of life and death, a battle of hearts and passion…

Cowboy in Colorado, the second book in the Fifty States of Love Series. This is the story of Brooklyn Ballenger and Will Auden, from opposite sides of the country and opposite lifestyles.
Brooklyn is a woman who wants to to prove to her father that she can succeed on her terms and her way. Will doesn’t want to change anything about his ranch and his life. Their interaction is intense and memorable for them both. Will they realize they belong together personally and professionally?
It’s a wonderful story, that reminds me of Linda Lael Miller’s stories. Enjoy!
Cowboy take me away!!! I am loving this journey that Jasinda Wilder is taking me on through her 50 States of Love Series. Cowboy in Colorado is a page turner and Brooklyn and Will are such likable characters. I loved the push and pull between these two, it kept me so wrapped up in their story the whole way through. The anticipation of wanting this two to give into to their attraction kept those pages turning. This book was everything that I was looking for in this hot and sexy romance.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!

You truly just can’t put “The End” like that. That was the equivalent to a mic drop. Sexy and hot but a mic drop nonetheless.
William and Brooklyn…. steamy alphas who worked well and complimented each other perfectly. Head strong female with fire and ice. Will, bless your heart to even assume that you were getting off easy. Brooklyn gave that wild stallion a ride…. for his mind, heart, and sanity.
This was such an epic cat and mouse chase around the ranch and world.

Another unputdownable story from Jasinda Wilder!
I LOVED this story. Jasinda brings two people together that have no business being together.
Brooklyn is a city girl that has worked hard for her father’s company and now she has the chance to show her him what she has learned. But first Brooklyn has to come up with a concept and get it passed by Will the owner of a ranch and tiny town.
Will and his family have lived and owned this little town for generations and Will does not like change. So when a city girl shows up to talk to him, he does not want to hear anything from her. Only when Brooklyn follows him out onto the range and puts herself in danger does he finally stop long enough to talk to her.
These two are so afraid of emotions that it almost ruins the future they could have.
The second book in the 50 States of Love series, Brooklyn Bellanger and Will Auden love story…..no one does love like Jasinda!
What a great quick read set in Colorado.
This is the second book in the series which all can be read as standalone.
Will & Brooklyn had me throughly entertained with their story.
This book is sexy, funny, has the right amount of angst that left me intrigued from the beginning till the end of the story.
Author Jasinda Wilder creates characters that are fun & realistic with the pop of magic that makes us fall in love with each story she creates.
Grab this fun loving read.

Loved this story of a hard working, dedicated cowboy and a hard working, dedicated city gal meeting and then they get zapped by the love bug. Simple, right?… Wrong! This story was so good and a nice change of pace and a unique storyline. The side characters were all so much fun and animated too, I can easily see side stories for almost all of them. A really great book with a really fun story.
City meets country…
It’s good to have more than one jam but, honestly, a cowboy will get me every time. And Will was that cowboy with his in charge attitude and down to earth saltiness. He was for sure grumpy but he was gorgeous too as his pre-conceived notions about the city girl were tested. Oh and he’s gorgeous. Yeah, there’s always that…
Brook was his even match. She was beautiful, driven and determined to succeed. What I liked was she was also not pretentious. She knew she was a fish out of water, never denied it, but embraced it instead. She knew she was not better, no worse, than anyone else and let her honesty speak for itself. She was not one to bulldoze over people to get her way but she sure was feisty…
On the surface they may have seemed like oil and water but despite being on opposite sides of the equation at the beginning, they soon found common ground as their roller coaster ride played out. An unexpected event put them into close quarters that made them ignore all the fluffy stuff and get right down to the heart of things. And those things? Well, they were steamy, steamy, steamy….
I loved how it played out. There was enough drama to keep it interesting but at the same time it never got over the top. I love real drama because that makes the emotions, the love, much more believable. And Will and Brook’s story felt wonderfully real….

Jasinda Wilder has done it again! Cowboy In Colorado is another unputdownable read.
Whenever I see a new release from Jasinda I get so excited. It is no different with this release. Will and Brooklyn are two absolutely incredible characters. They are so incredibly different in so many ways, and yet, they have so many similarities between them, that will leave readers breathless with the back and forth action. You could almost go as far as to say that they are complete opposites from one another. If you know me, you know that there is nothing I love more than a good opposites attract romance, and this is definitely that.
I was highly entertained with the crazy antics taking place within this novel. There are so many memorable moments, many of which involve Will’s horses.
Cowboy in Colorado was a terrific read, that I cannot recommend highly enough. It will keep you reading right from the very first page, all the way up to the last. Grab it for yourself today!
4.5/5 Star!
Cowboy in Colorado is Jasinda’s second book in her Fifty States of Love Series. I read the book in one night. It was one of those books that just keeps you turning the page. Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was a hate to love where the started to turn to love almost at first sight. One thing I wish would have been done differently is when Brooklyn first gets to Colorado, she visits some cool places before she goes to Auden Town. I wish we would have gotten a little more of that part. I want to know what the Red Rocks look like. I wanted to know more. I loved Auden Town and Brooklyn’s idea for it. If it was a real place, it’s definitely the kind of vacation I’d love to take. Also, who can read a romance without falling in love with the guy. In Cowboy in Colorado, Will was sexy Alpha Male all day. But the character I really fell in love with was Brooklyn and I wish I could be her when I grew up. If you are looking for a quick, fun, sweet read, this book is a great one to pick up.
The second book in the 50 States of Love series was a great follow up to Pregnant in Pennsylvania. Jasinda Wilder can write any kind of genre and I always enjoy it. This book was about Brooklyn and Will, an opposites attract romance. Brooklyn is a city girl through and through who comes to Will’s rural Colorado ranch to persuade him to sign a business agreement with her company. Brooklyn works for her father in a very well established New York City company. Will is a set in his ways kind of guy who wants things done his way, not really a cell phone and internet kind of guy. Their worlds are very different and this obviously does not make them seem like a good match. I personally love a romance where the couple do not seem like an obvious match. Brooklyn and Will are a prime example. This was a fun romance that I truly enjoyed and had a hard time putting down. I can’t wait for book 3 in the 50 States of Love series!
Cowboy in Colorado, the second book in Jasinda Wilder’s Fifty States of Love Series, tells Brooklyn Ballenger and Will Auden’s story, and while these two characters are from polar opposite worlds – she’s a confident city slicker and he’s a small town rancher – they’re more alike than they originally think, but it’s also those similarities that make things tense and electric between them, forcing them both to acquire a fairly new perspective when it comes to life and to love.
Brooklyn is quite the head strong and driven business woman, and she’s ready to prove herself to her father and make the real estate development acquisition division of her father’s company profitable, and it’s with that goal in mind that she heads to Auden Town, Colorado and comes face-to-face with an arrogant and closed-off alpha rancher.
Will’s a guy who is absolutely set in his ways; he has no desire to change anything about his ranch and he most certainly doesn’t want some well-dressed, uppity woman to talk to him about a proposition for his land that he has no desire to listen to or agree to, regardless of how attractive he finds her or the fact that there seems to be something sizzling beneath the surface when they’re in the same vicinity.
But Fate and Mother Nature refuse to allow these two to forget about each other, so as much as Brooklyn and Will want to move on from their tense interactions and get on with their lives, they’re brought together, once again, and this time around, things are even more tenuous and also headed in a direction that will either lead them to want to murder each other or to give into the sexual tension and chemistry that’s surrounded them from day one.
Man, are these two characters something else! They can’t get out of their own damn way enough to realize how good they could be together if they both got over themselves and opened their eyes and their hearts. I do have to say that some readers might take issue with Will’s jerkish behavior because it does feel a bit over-the-top at times, but it’s clear that who he is under his arrogant demeanor is someone worth getting to know and that can only occur if he’s given a pass for some of his earliest bad behavior.
I love the idea of this series, and I’m beyond excited for Married in Michigan; it’s my home state and I can’t wait to see what parts of the state Jasinda Wilder writes about in her cross country romance story.

Cowboy in Colorado was dang good. I have to be honest I am not a huge fan of cowboys, BUT Will is a hot cowboy with an amazing heart and I fell for him!
This is such a heartwarming story of two very different people who have very hot chemistry. Brooklyn goes to Colorado with heels on and is trying to prove to her dad she can invest in something out of the box for their company. Will is a headstrong, bull headed man that does not like change….until he meets Brooklyn.
This is the 2nd installment of the 50 States of Love series and so far I am HOOKED.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
This is the second book in the Fifty States of Love series by Jasinda Wilder but they’re both standalone novels.
In this book we have Brooklyn and Will. Two headstrong individuals trying to do the best at what they do, heck with everything else. I had a good chuckle or two at this city girl going to a ranch in CO with a thousand dollar plus pair of heels on walking in the dirt and mud. Not to mention in her tailored suit. HA!
Sometimes you just have to shake your head at some characters knowing there are real people out there that would do the exact same thing! Research is key people!
So Brooklyn has an idea that could benefit the tiny town Will’s family helps take care of. It’s in the middle of no where. Money is tight. His interest is with his horses nothing else. Poor Brooklyn is put through the ringer in this book without even so much as laying out her potential plan with Will.
Their connection is quick and consummation might be even quicker. They certainly don’t waste any time there. The after effects, though, isn’t anything either of them expected. I’m not sure Jasinda meant for this book to be somewhat of a comedy but these characters are easy to chuckle over.
Life lessons can be learned in many different ways. These two definitely have a learning curve when it comes to each other. I enjoyed their love story. It’s witty and quick. I hope you enjoy it too!
I am so not a cowboy romance reader, but saying that, I love Jasinda Wilder’s version! This was a quick and delightful read! It was sexy AF and just what most cowboy lovers would want and look for. Will is seriously THE alpha in his ranch and he is not interested in meeting with anyone about a business proposition… least of all some fancy woman from a big city. Well, Brooklyn isn’t no quitter. She goes to see Will again… and here is where I fell in love and couldn’t stop reading. They get pushed together and forced to seek shelter overnight. This is where these two become unstoppable!
Wilder’s writing is sexy and fun. They are totally flirty and sensual. I enjoyed Will’s dominant strong ways but I loved Brooklyn. She is the epitome of what woman should strive to be like. She’s strong and fierce. She’s a take charge woman that doesn’t just succumb to being the damsel in distress. However, putting these two together and you’ll see softer and sweeter sides to both of them. Heartwarming story! I’m ecstatic for Married in Michigan!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
I love this book! It’s such a great story. Brook is a confident woman. She is working hard to take over for her father when he retires. Will is a rancher. He trains horses and manages his family’s land. He can be stubborn. This is just such a beautiful story and I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this book!

Oh this book was interesting. It was a quick read with both characters wanting to be in the alpha role. The female lead was such a strong person who showed weakness when or if her comfort zone ( but then faced it head on like a bada**) and later when in a power compromising power struggle….
Now, our male lead, Will, is stubborn as they come. And man do these two give their best to each other during their power struggles to stay the top dog!
