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’.

One upmanship, cowgirl style.
Gracie Dalton is a recent community college grad and up for the same job in the ranch as Noble Watkins. Noble comes with an attitude to say the least.
So begins their game of one upmanship.
Who will come out on top?
Unless they figure out it may be better to take turns being on top.
Btw that is one smoking cover.

Respect is earned…
I truly enjoyed this story. Gracie and Noble were great together. Both had such a competitive streak…I swear I could hear that old song that went ” anything you can do I can do better” in my head. Watching them learn to respect and love each other made for a wonderful read. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the Dalton family.

I just LOVE all of the Dalton gang. This story of Gracie Dalton is no different. She goes to work on the Blackburn Ranch as there is currently no place for her at the Dalton Ranch in working their finances. There she meets another cowpoke Noble Parker. There are two openings at Blackburn and 4 competing for it. Will both Noble and Gracie win the two openings while falling in love? Well it is a question that will keep the reader guessing throughout. As Gracie tries to fend off Noble’s cowboy advances, she gives a great run at the job.
I adored the dual POV format. Getting into the minds of these two characters really helped to humanize them and make it easy to fall in love with them. They work hard and play harder. Nothing can come between them or can it?
I highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 18. It was also nice to see appearance of other Dalton men here in this book.
Take one hunky cowboy and one sassy lady…
Strong, intelligent, and independent Gracie has finished her degree and now wants to join the family business but like so much in real life the offer to join did not come. So what does Gracie she sets out to prove herself? Noble, on the other hand, maybe a challenge for our Gracie. The book was entertaining and I liked how it ended. I recommend this one if you like hunky cowboys and sassy ladies. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

I received a copy of this book from Booksprout and I chose to review it. Em Petrova is one of my go to authors, I know I will get a great story from her. This story is well written and the characters are wonderful. I don’t do spoilers so go get this book and see what I love about this book. This one is worth you time and effort. I really think you will like it.
Not a Dalton boy this time, but one of the (few) girls.
This is Grace’s story, and what a story it is.
Disappointed at not being asked to work on the Dalton ranch, now that she has her business degree, Grace takes off to spend the summer working as a cowpoke on the Blackburn ranch.
Four people have been taken on, but there are only two full time positions. Noble is her biggest rival, he is also the man that turns her head and makes her feel the chemistry between them.
And thus the scene is set for a thoroughly entertaining story of ranch life. There is rivalry, there is passion, Grace tries to tell herself she’s not interested in a relationship…..until the powers that be tell her she can have a job as long as she gives Noble up.
The powers that be have misjudged, badly, as Em Petrova’s heroines are feisty, and they don’t suffer fools gladly!
There is also danger in the mix when a fire threatens the ranch….a fire that has at least one unexpected outcome.
With her usual thread of subtle humour running through the story Em has written a heartwarming story with an edge.
I absolutely adore Gracie and her stubbornness. I love her grit and her strength. She is well matched with Noble and he is the perfect cowboy. I look forward to hopefully seeing where their future takes them. This book has great writing, flows logically and smoothly. It is told happily, with some drama and with no need for tears. The characters are well thought out and well placed.

this is quite a fun read and wow did they ever have a rocky start to their final HEA – she is the strongest (muscle) heroine that I have read about in quite a long time and I truly enjoyed this read!

Often times people don’t have a clear direction for their lives and just go wherever opportunities present themselves. This is why we find Gracie and Noble at “the” ranch to work for the summer. Though very confident in their ranching abilities, they are clueless when it comes to developing a relationship with the opposite sex. At first these two are like gasoline and a match. Eventually they learn to work together but even more so learn what’s really important.

I loved this! I haven’t read any of the other Dalton stories but now I will be picking them up. I enjoyed this so much! Gracie and Noble might have thought they were too different but they were more alike than they thought and that makes for some crazy hot cowboy time!

Gracie is all about work and has no time for love or romance…until she meets Noble. That man keeps her on her toes and everyone sees what she’s refusing to see herself, that he loves her. They’re competing for a position, but earn one they never expected, by one another’s side.

This is about Gracie Dalton, a recent graduate of college at the tops of her class with a business management degree and Nobel Watkins, a 4th generation Cowpoke working together and competing for 2 positions on The Blackburn Ranch. This has a well written storyline and wonderful characters. I loved Gracie’s attitude, she’s sassy, feisty and tough. She is bound and determined to prove she is as good, of not better, than any man trying to get one of the two positions available . Her fiercest competitor if Noble and helans to secure the job two. They are constantly bickering and betting between the two of them. The attraction and sexual tension between them gets stronger and undeniable. I love Ms Petrova’s writing, she never disappoints. I highly recommend this book.

Although the setting throughout the majority of the book takes place at the Blackburn instead of the Dalton Ranch, any book featuring a Dalton feels like coming home. This is Gracie’s story. Newly finished in college, she is ready to take her family’s ranch in Paradise Valley by storm, proving her worth as she tweeks the family business to become more efficient, thus putting more money in her family members’ pockets. When no offer is received to join the business, Gracie is at a loss regarding what to do with her life. The Blackburn Ranch has openings for 4 cowpokes. Going to work for one of the biggest ranches in the state is sure to sharpen her skills and make Gracie more desirable in her family’s eyes, right? Now she just has to prove her worth in a man’s world and get hired for the job. Standing in her way is extremely competent and sexy Noble Watkins. When competitiveness between the two turns to admiration and flirting, Gracie receives an ultimatum that will leave her questioning her future once again. Will love prevail or will Gracie allow the ultimatum to dictate her life?
Em Petrova’s series about the Dalton family is heartwarming and always wildly entertaining. Cowgirl Dreamer does not disappoint. A strong, feisty female lead that lives up to the Dalton name; a morally sound, drool worthy and lovable male lead; an intriguing plot; and explosive sexual chemistry. That’s all I need to give this book a resounding two thumbs up! A definite must read!!!

The one thing I couldn’t figure out about Gracie and the Dalton Ranch, I ended up with having to make an assumption.
Gracie had her degree. She was strong, intelligent, and independent. I understood she felt the need to prove something to both herself and her family.
Noble was in somewhat of the same situation. Both were top notch cow hands and the icing on the cake was they both really wanted the job on the Blackburn Ranch.
It took a while for them to give into that sexual tension that was building. While it was building, I think Gracie beat Nobel on the scale of most irritating person.
I thought the decision Gracie made when she was given the ultimatum was great. Noble was on the same page for a different reason.
They had great chemistry. Their scenes were believably sexy and sweet. The interactions with the Dalton clan, although minimal in this book, were enjoyable. I also enjoyed all of the detail about ranching.
Noble and Gracie, of course, ended up with their HEA. I still never understood, if Gracie really wanted the job on the Dalton ranch, why didn’t she ask for it?
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy received from the author via Booksprout.
Gracie was a woman that for the most part I really admired. She is extremely hard working, great with numbers, and had a good head on her shoulder. She is stubborn at times but I think it served her well. I will say there were times I thought she might be going a little overboard trying to prove she was just a good as a man but hey what do I know.
Noble is an amazing man. He is someone who wants what his dad and grandpa had, he wants to follow in their footsteps and doesn’t want anything to get in his way. Then he meets the spitfire Gracie and everything changes.
These two fight like cats and dogs but it didn’t take long for us a reader that it was lust plain and simple.
The banter was spot on, the competitiveness was fun to read and the sexy times were hot!!
