It takes a lot to impress a Dalton girl.And Gracie Dalton is not impressed at all with the fact she’s got to prove her ability as a cowpoke on one of the best ranches in Texas this summer. After all, she’s got the chops from years of working with her brothers and cousins on their well-known ranch. Now she’s pitted against a cocky man with a rodeo belt buckle for each day of the week—not that … week—not that she’s noticin’.
Hands down, Noble Watkins’s going to win a permanent position on the Blackburn Ranch. No way will he be bested by a woman, let alone one with too much sway in her hips and tempting lips—along with the sharpest tongue he’s ever heard.
Gracie can’t seem to get one step ahead of Noble for long, but she won’t back down from a good challenge. When things go haywire on the ranch, she and Noble have no choice but to band together and make things work. Seems to Noble, Gracie was right—she IS good at everything—especially kissin’.

“Gracie Darlin'” I can hear this so plainly, so Southern, coming from Noble. Makes my heart melt and Gracie’s too, I believe.
These two, so well matched in their love of outdoors and all things ranching, started out in competition with each other, finally realizing it was foreplay for them. The heat was there right from the beginning and didn’t die out one little bit.
It also shows the aspects of ranching and it’s not easy or slow paced, but still rewarding when the day is done. Respect is earned, animals are priority and everyone works together to achieve the success for the ranch.
I didn’t feel I really got to know Noble or Gracie deep down. Their story has a lot more to it and what they’re both doing now is temporary. I hope to hear more about them as more Daltons come in to play.

“Cowgirl Dreamer” Is A Great Read With An Awesome Balance Between Drama & S€X¥ Times!!
There’s FOUR Ranch Hands Competing for TWO Slots…
Which means only TWO will make the Grade…
And She aims to be ONE of the BEST!
Does that make Her a “Cowgirl Dreamer!”
Maybe Sooo…
But this “Cowgirl Dreamer” will Beat OUT the Competition!
And She’ll start by Ignoring the Pesky attraction that’s Brewing!
At least until, Her “Cowgirl Dreamer” Heart can’t Deny its FATE!
I was granted an ARC of Em Petrova’s “Cowgirl Dreamer (Dalton Boys Book 10)” via B00|{$P®0UT. I recommend this book to others based upon its own recommendations. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
A spicy cowgirl meets cowboy romance!
I have to start out by saying how refreshing it was to have one of the Dalton girls be the lead in this story! I adored it! Not saying I’m tired of the guys because I’m not… but it was certainly a nice change.
Gracie has finally graduated from college with her business degree and the realization that her family’s ranch isn’t quite ready for her to take over the books as she had hoped. Now she needs to find something to do with her time until they are but she wants to spread her wings a bit and try another ranch on for size. Hearing that the Blackburn Ranch is hiring, she heads off to apply for a cowpoke position. Noble has been working at smaller ranches but when he hears of the permanent position opening up on the Blackthorn Ranch, he also heads there to apply. It’s been a family tradition that he intends on maintaining by working on that ranch… but he wasn’t counting on Gracie. They get off on the wrong foot at first but eventually, they work it out between them and then life happens.
This is the tenth book in the Dalton Boys series but you can easily read it on its own. But having read all the others, I don’t know why you would.

Gracie Dalton doesn’t take any guff off of anyone. She’s the type of woman who thinks that she is jyst as good as any man doing ranch work. She graduated from community college with a degree in business management, thinking she’d get to work on the family ranch. When a job for a permanent cow poke job opens up on another ranch, she applies for it.
Noble Watkins is an all around cow poke also trying to get the job. He’s got more rodeo buckles than most guys. Noble doesn’t plan on losing to Gracie, even though she is a sexy, sharp-tongued woman.
Things start going wrong on the ranch making Gracie and Noble work together. Will they be able to work together and solve the mysteries?
Ms. Petrova you have done it again.
A cowgirl proving herself
Good story. Liked the push/pull of the relationship. As well as the stubborn competition between Gracie and Noble. Gracie has come to Blackburn ranch to earn a spot as a cowpoke. Noble has come for a spot too but didn’t expect to have his heart turned upside down by a sexy, sassy, tough as nails cowgirl. This was the first Dalton story I’ve read but have plans to go back and read about the Dalton boys. Catch up on the series. If I’m honest this wasn’t a favorite. That’s why I only gave it four stars. It was a good story, well written so Maybe if I read back I’ll feel the investment or maybe I’m just partial to Em’s Special Ops stories
This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters, Noble & Gracie, sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Em. I look forward to more!
Wonderfully fantastic… The book was amazing… It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to it… The characters and their personalities match them perfectly… The plot and the storyline was very descriptive and amazing…

Interesting entry in the Dalton Boys series. Two characters vying for the same job, deal with all the drama and issues as well as the sexual tension to achieve their HEA.
Cowgirl Dreamer is the tenth book in the Dalton Boys series, but reads really well as a stand alone. Gracie has always wanted to be a part of the Dalton Ranch, but her future uncertain, she finds a position at Blackburn Ranch, she decides to show her worth. Noble has a family legacy of working at Blackburn, and when a chance arises, he runs for it. Both are super competitive, both try to best the other, but when all of their angst comes across as passion, could there be a way for both of them to win?
Ohhh, this book was really good and I loved that there was some of the Dalton flare to it, but was perfect for any new reader to the series! Gracie and Noble were so competitive, almost to the point of enemies. There was a lot of pride, a bit of anger, and even some entitlement from both parties. Gracie wants to prove herself, wants to expand her experience, and I loved that while she was goal driven, she was willing to go with where life took her. Noble is kind of quiet and reserved, but has a lot of heart and pride in his work. They were so similar, they often clashed, but when their passion took off, phew, watch out! This romance was kind of fun, with them challenging each other so much, and I loved that they also fought for each other. There is a bit of drama in this book, too, and I liked how the ending all played out. I really enjoyed this book and love Ms. Petrova’s writing!
Captivating, page-turner romance story. The characters are well developed, have good passionate chemistry. Well written book that I liked reading. I have voluntarily read and submitted a review of this book.
Gracie Dalton and Noble Watkins and two others are out to prove they’re the best for the two openings as cowpokes at Blackburn Ranch. From the first time that Gracie and Noble meet they rub each other the wrong way. They compete against each other like the other two cowpokes don’t exist. I really enjoyed the story and the characters.
I have loved the Dalton’s since book1 and they just keep getting better.
This is Gracie’s story. She has to prove herself in order to earn a position on the Blackburn Ranch.
Noble struggles with whether it is time to spread his wings for his dream job or stay and help his father.
This one was a fun read. The tension between them was exciting.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
I was never a reader of cowboy books until I read Em Petrova’s book s after getting addicted to her novels through her Knights ops series but now I am a firm convert to her cowboy series as well and this is the latest Dalton story
Gracie is a Dalton and has such has spent most of her life on a horse she has recently finished her education and is in the final four to become the latest hand at the Blackburn Ranch. Her main competitor for on of the final two position is Noble Parker he is from a long line of Blackburn ranch hands and he has no intention of been beaten for a position bu no woman They are both great hands and the story really gives insight into the day to day life on a ranch. But the thing they are both fighting is the chemistry between them Who will win the coveted position and will they give into their lust and form a relationship that will be theirs for life.
Can i say i love this series? Amazing ! Both characters made me laugh and fall a little bit deeper in love with the dalton family.
I really enjoyed Gracie and Noble’s story. It was well written with an engaging storyline. Gracie was a strong, intelligent, and independent character. Noble was a confident and charismatic character. These two were great together and the sexual tension was off the charts. The story had action, plenty of emotions, some drama and love. A great read that kept me turning the pages from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed this read all for Noble. I loved him. Gracie not so much. It took awhile to warm up to her. I’m all for girl power but she took way beyond that and was a jerk now and then.
One of the Dalton girls for a nice change. Gracie is making her own mark on the world, she has a degree but right now she needs respect. An entertaining tale, I enjoyed that she was so feisty and independent. She wasn’t perfect, she made mistakes and she knew her own mind. No ultimatums for this girl. Great story of family, passion and plain ole hard work. I loved it.
