A sexy romantic comedy about a hot cowboy, some racy photos, and an accidental hook up—or three—with his best friend’s sister… reluctantly agrees to do it, knowing that it will be great publicity for the ranch.
What he didn’t figure on is the show’s photographer being Violet Brooks. Violet is TJ’s gun-toting best friend’s little sister. She’s the same woman who left the small Montana town ten years ago and never looked back. And yep, she’s the same woman he lusted after when he shouldn’t have. And still does.
So when the pre-show marketing photo shoot involves channeling his inner underwear model — with Violet as the photographer — TJ ends up losing his shirt. His pants. And, if he’s willing to risk everything — including his place on the show that could save his struggling ranch — his heart could be on the line as well.

I believe TJ owes his brothers a big Thank You!
Stina Lindenblatt is a new-to-me author and I am pretty excited to read the rest of the books in this series. I love series about brothers and that’s exactly what Copper Creek is! TJ and Violet’s story is a well written Rom-Com with likable characters in a story that flows. Recommend this one for sure!
Enjoyed this story very much. Written from the hero’s POV. Nice change of pace
Menacing Navy Seal best friend and his hot sister, Violet, and TJ, the hot cowboy come together to tell a good story. Original plot and good writing make it a great read!
This was a super fun read! This was a super fun read! Who knew that TJ and Violet were pining for each other for years. This is definitely a great friends to lovers, especially since they have a long history. There’s a few hiccups along the way, an overprotective brother, a reality show hottie, and a little family drama along the way. The spin-off characters will be fun to read about.
Not much of a plot. Not very romantic because the lead character was too busy thinking about sex.
Wasn’t for me.
Kinda dumb. Nice piece of fluff to read
I loved how these characters were brought together with the fabulous scenery portrayed in this book. This is definitely a great take on the bachelor/bachelorette reality programs. This twist could very well have happened and was very well received by this reader.
Very good book love it.
I really thought this was going to be really good from the blurb but sadly it was disappointing. About 1/2 way through I was goi g to give it four stars but the more I read the less I cared about how it ended. I finished it anyways. The author spent way to much time writing about the heroine’s brother Austin finding out about the relationship between his best friend and sister. It seems like every page the hero TJ mentioned Austin killing him if he found out. After awhile that got boring and tiresome toreador about. The book wasn’t bad it just wasn’t exciting either. Until next time y’all happy reading.
This was my first time reading anything from Stina Lindenblatt. It was a fun read that ticked all sort of fun romance boxes-cowboy, reality TV, second chance love, and brotherly antics. Cowboy Most Wanted is book one in a three book series.
Our plot found TJ and Violet thrown together after a long time apart. Poor TJ is being forced into a cowboy romance reality show. Violet is the shows photographer. Through all sorts of ups and downs of brotherly love, reality television, and romance, Cowboy Most Wanted created a fun read.
I loved TJ’s intro on the blurb-his love of Norse mythology and Marvel among other things were very endearing. He loves his brothers and their family ranch. He’s a great guy who strives to make good choices for the greater good and deal with some tough situations. Violet is TJ’s childhood friend. She’s back in town and has some baggage. Least of which is the fact that they’re both still attracted to each other, despite Violet being TJ’s best friend’s sister. Tough choices must be faced.
TJ has been attracted to Violet since before she left, but never acted on it. Violet felt the same way, but had to leave to explore her future. Now that they’re back in the same small town and forced to interact, the chemistry comes boiling back to the surface. They try to keep it professional, but their friendship and the nature of small towns keeps putting them together. And the sparks fly when they’re together! Together the two create some steamy situations with TJ’s love of dirty talk.
I couldn’t quite stay interested in the story. It was a great story, and I liked all the characters, but the pace was a bit up and down. And while I liked all the characters, I found it a bit tricky to keep them all straight at times. At the same time, I liked the idea and execution of the plot. Everything seemed to wrap up every to neatly in the end though, which was nice for a romance; but seemed a bit too quick and tidy.
Despite the ups and downs and troubling aspect of reality television, I liked the story and characters and the ideas of the plots in all the books. I can’t wait to see what book two has in store.

TJ Daniels and his brothers Jake and Noah are working hard to keep their new horse ranch going but it’s not quite a thriving business…yet. Thinking they need more exposure, Noah applies for the latest bachelorette show in his brother’s name and TJ gets picked as a contestant.
He’s not really happy about it, but he’ll do it to help the ranch and he’s in for a big surprise when his longtime crush Violet is part of the photography crew. He’s always wanted Violet, but she’s off limits for two reasons — she’s his best friend’s little sister and his contract for the show prohibits him from having a relationship with other women while he’s filming the show. Violet has some surprises for TJ too — one of them being she’s looking to hook up with him while in town.
Cowboy Most Wanted has a light and romantic feel to it that I really enjoyed. Where it could have been heavy, it wasn’t and I found that a refreshing aspect of the story. TJ and Violet are so sweet together that it made it easy to want them to find a way out of their predicament. There is some nice tension when Bachelorette Natalie appears on the scene, too. It all just worked quite nicely for me as a romantic comedy. A sweet romance with lots of fun. Good start to the series.
In keeping with my goal of reading new-to-me authors this year, I chose Stina Lindenblatt and her newest release, Cowboy Most Wanted because who doesn’t love an alpha male who knows how to fill out a tight pair of Levis and works just as hard as he plays?!?!
In the first book of Lindenblatt’s Copper Creek series, she introduces readers to the Daniels brothers – three sexy cowboys who know how to have fun, cause chaos, and leave quite the trail of enamored women. Cowboy Most Wanted is about the oldest Daniels’ brother, TJ and his long-time crush, Violet Brooks. They’ve known each other since they were young, but they haven’t seen one another for 10 years, after Violet left home and never looked back. What neither TJ nor Violet ever realized, though, is the fact that they’ve had crushes on each other for quite some time, but therein lies the problem because not only is TJ Violet’s older brother’s best friend, but TJ also finds himself on a ‘bachelorette-style’ reality television show in order to save the family’s ranch, so the fact that Violet’s a member of the reality show’s staff threatens to not only ruin his chance of being the bachelorette’s final cowboy but also destroy his friendship with Violet’s brother.
The story line does seem a bit unorthodox given what this cowboy needs to do in order to try and save his family’s ranch, but it’s also what allows TJ and Violet to reconnect, and while there’s a significant amount of landmines that could upend anything significant happening between these two, they can’t seem to keep their attraction or their desire for one another in check, so they’ll need to determine what that means for TJ’s ranch, Violet’s career, and their relationships with family members and make sure that the risk is worth it.
I enjoyed TJ and Violet’s story. The Daniels brothers are an amazing group of men who definitely know how to sweet talk and dirty talk with the best of them. I loved the banter between brothers and it was interesting to see behind-the-scenes when it comes to a reality dating show. When things heat up between TJ and Violet, giving in to what they’ve always felt for one another, the way their bodies move together and the steamy and sensual encounters they have illustrate just how good they could be together and why TJ has always been Violet’s most wanted cowboy.

5 SEXY TJ STARS!! TJ has it all going for him, a sexy cowboy, sweet, fun and a bachelor. This story was so good I devoured it in one sitting. If you are looking for a fast paced, best friends younger sister, you need to read TJ and Violet’s story. Stina Lindenblatt delivers a flawless story with this first book in the new series, Copper Creek.
is the first book in Sᴛɪɴᴀ Lɪɴᴅᴇɴʙʟᴀᴛᴛ’s new Copper Creek series, and I am very excited about these Daniels brothers. They’re sexy and charming cowboys, and the three of them are really fun and endearing when they interact. TJ is the oldest, and he’s reluctantly pushed into being on a dating reality show in order to promote their horse ranch, but it turns into a very positive decision when his best friend’s little sister Violet, who he has always been attracted to, shows up as a part of the production team. He’s trying to stay away from her to respect his friend, but he is head over heels for this girl and can’t resist this opportunity to finally have a chance for more or at least to indulge their attraction. I adore TJ, and I love how he interacted with Violet’s young son. I can’t wait for more Daniels brothers.
ARC provided, but this review was voluntarily and honestly written.
What a great start to the Copper Creek series. This friends to lovers story had a fun reality tv twist. TJ and his brothers are converting their ranch from cattle to horses. TJ’s brother signs him up to be on a reality show for cowboys, hoping to get some exposure for their ranch. TJ is not at all happy, that is until his teenage crush, and best friends sister, Violet, comes home working on the show. The sparks fly between them and their long crush turns into so much more. But TJ doesn’t want to cross his best friend, or risk losing the ranch if he cheats on the shows female contestant. But can he risk losing Violet again? This is a fun and flirty, sweet and sexy romance with lots of heart. TJ’s brothers and friends are all intriguing and entertaining as well. They set up future romance stories beautifully. I can’t wait for more from Copper Creek.
