He’s a rich cowboy trying to help maintain his father’s ranching empire. She’s got a jaded view towards rich people like him. But when he offers to help her out, she may not be able to refuse… ranching empire, Solomon is focused on the family business. Growing, gaining and improving… that’s what it’s always been about.
But… all of that comes screeching to a halt when he runs into a vandal defacing his family’s property. A beautiful vandal.
Frenchie hasn’t had the easiest life. On the run since she was seventeen, she went from lower class right to impoverished and hasn’t really been able to get back up since. She’s seen the worst of the world, the darkness that lurks in so many people, and what happens when dollar bills are worth more than a person’s life.
When she meets a man who has it all, she’s sure she already has him pegged. But then, little by little, he begins to contradict all the rules she learned for survival.
Is he playing the long con, or is it possible that someone like him would even care about someone like her…

Humbling Her Cowboy is not the normal cowboy story that you expect from Natalie Dean. Solomon, the main character never wears a cowboy hat which is common in Texas. It only talks about him riding his horse once and that was after Frenchie tells him he should enjoy the animals more. It is more of a story about homeless kids that caught the attention of Solomon, the heir to the Miller dynasty in Texas. The story is more of a education on both Solomon and Frenchie’s part of how the other lived. It almost seemed to be a Cinderella story where the rich Prince takes the shabby girl and turns her into a woman more to his parent’s liking. They do talk about being in love, but also talk about letting Frenchie enjoy what she has made of herself to prove she is an independent woman and can make it on her own before they move forward. They don’t talk about going out to the ranch and going horseback riding or letting her see the animals as she asked of allowing her time to do her drawings at the ranch that she dreamed about.
I also didn’t like at the beginning of the book that Solomon used a 4 letter word that could have been left out and then a couple chapters later it is used again. This is a clean author that I have read numerous of her books that did not use that type of language which makes her one of my favorite authors. All in all this was a good story, but I wouldn’t consider it a cowboy story.
Emotional and informative with characters that have depth. Definitely an eye-opening experience for the characters along with the reader. Lessons learned and realistic elements, heartbreaking and very heartwarming story.
Frenchie is a fighter, struggling for survival on the streets and yet still boldly defiant using her graffiti art to get people’s attention. Solomon was a naive son of a billionaire who didn’t understand the struggles that others less fortunate faced. At first he’s angry at Frenchie for defacing the church his family sponsors until she shows him her world and what she had to deal with everyday. I felt for her young friends who like her ran to escape a terrible home life, but faced so many dangers and monsters in sheep’s clothing on the streets. I can understand why she didn’t trust Solomon and his motives at first. I learned a lot about homelessness reading this book and it’s something I hope I have never have to experience firsthand.
Natalie Dean really packs a lot of reality in this book. Most of us never face the life Frenchie lives or have the privileges of Solomon but the reality of homeless teens and life on the street is there. I love how she shows us that life and the problems they face. I look forward to learning more about Frenchie and Solomon and the rest of the Miller family.
Wow. An apt title for this book. It wasn’t just our cowboy who was humbled but us readers too. A sobering book about the realities many homeless face in the big cities. It definitely hit at my heart. Wonderful characters and a great start to this series.
I don’t really know how accurate the circumstances of these homeless youth were, but I could imagine they were fairly accurate or some. I’ve definitely heard and seen similar feelings of those who’ve never experienced homelessness. I thoroughly enjoyed Solomon’s reactions and openness to learning, though it is hard to imagine anyone being quite so blind to this plight. I did enjoy the ‘learning curve’ of the hero and heroine, as well as getting to know Tawny.
I really enjoyed the prequel but Humbling Her Cowboy blew me away. Frenchie and Solomon make such a great odd couple. (My only complaint is that I reached the end. Thank goodness there are brothers!) The characters are very interesting. The contrasts between Frenchie’s life and Solomon’s are fantastic. I love how Solomon learned that his dad was wrong and the poor are not lazy or just looking for handouts. I admired how he went about doing some good. This well written book kept me up until 5 am! You do not want to miss it.
The first book in the series brings Soloman and Frenchie’s story. Their characters are strong and the story is interesting and entertaining. Total opposites in social standings they slowly come together as the story unfolds. The author does a great job developing their story with detailed and descriptive scenes and moves it fluidly. It’s a well written book that had me hooked from start to finish reading. I loved and would recommend this book and am looking forward to the next one! Well done!
