No Getting Over a Cowboy is book two in the Wrangler’s Creek series by Delores Fossen and narrated by Eric G. Dove.
Nicky’s trying to rebuild her life after losing her husband and trying to move on with her child. She hopes going back to the house that gave her peace when she was a hurt child will help.
Garret never excepted to lose his wife to another man and his child to a miscarriage. Going home to the family ranch was suppose to help. Give him peace and quiet, but he wasn’t counting on his mother renting out an old house on the ranch to a bunch of widows.
Just like book one we are off to another fun filled novel full of romance, mystery, suspense, a whole lot of love and drama. Nicky and Garret knew each other as kids. He’s the one man she could never forget and Garret can’t forget the night he took her virginity. They discover that half a lifetime can’t dose the flame they still have for each other. Theirs plenty of drama with real life issues, a dead body in the old house, and a meddling mother who’s trying to matchmaker
I adored Nicky’s little girl Kaylee. Kids always add something special to a story; especially if an author does it wright. All the characters are richly developed, the story is written well and flows, and the author brings out a wide range of emotions within this novel.
Narration: I find that I enjoy Contemporary Romance a whole lot more in audio. I think it’s; because the stories move along and flow better in audio then reading. Eric G. Dove did a wonderful job with all the characters and voices. Each voice was distinctive and she had me glued and invested in the storyline and mystery as well as the romance.
No Getting Over a Cowboy was a wonderful edition to the Wrangler’s Creek series. I enjoyed!

Favorite Quotes:
‘Panties in a Bunch ‘Cause Your Car Won’t Start? Use Camel-Tow!’ That’s what was printed on the magnetic sign on the door of the tow truck.
‘I used to diaper both of you boys.’ Garrett hoped like the devil that she didn’t want to do a boxers check to see if she recognized his equipment.
Roman had had a bad attitude since birth. According to their mother, when he’d come out breech, he’d immediately kicked the doctor in the balls.
Your aunt had h-o-t p-a-n-t-s, and I don’t think Loretta meant they were really short shorts.
There’s a really hot cowboy unclogging a toilet… Never thought of that as hot, but he managed to make it look spellbinding. He’s got an audience, too. I think a couple of the women are hoping for a butt-crack showing.
My Review:
I know I am late in my discovery of her talent, but No Getting Over A Cowboy was my fourth of many more to come Delores Fossen reads. I adored the amusing visuals her clever words generated in my skull. I always enjoy her humorous and witty observations and descriptions, odd characters, and intriguing storylines. Her stories are typically active and eventful with several subplots containing long-buried secrets, humor, intriguing mysteries, adult romance, cute kids, endearingly flawed protagonists, quirky characters with mysterious agendas, and unpredictable and highly satisfying conclusions. I barked aloud several times and frequently wore a smirk on my face as I read this delightfully busy second chance romance with the most eccentric collection of widows the south has ever produced, and that is saying something.
No Getting Over a Cowboy was more of an experience to me than reading a book. I was right there in the middle of the story, observing, feeling and sharing the events that had me smiling, laughing, and even broke my heart a bit. The characters felt like my friends that I was visiting, and I was sad to leave them behind.
The whole story is written with such vivid images and invites the reader into the world created by the author, a world of friends, lovers, family, life, love, and heartbreak. But most of all it is a world where you can face your inner demons and troubles, learn from the past experiences, and grow as a human being, to reach your potential.
I loved the characters, the whole ensemble of the people from the ranch hands to the widows, the family and friends and town folks. They each have an important role in the development of the story and they carried that responsibility well.
Garrett Granger as a hero was drool worthy for sure, handsome, sexy, kind, considerate good guy, who means well even when occasionally stepping on toes of others. He is a complex character who had conquered his past the best he could, he wasn’t afraid to show emotions, as clumsy as some of the attempts were. I adored him, simply said. And Nicky Marlow was definitely his soul mate.
Nicky had endured so much in her childhood, the memories still haunting her day and night. Her ability to face them step by step and scream on the face of the demons hunting her had me in tears. There’s a brilliant metaphorical scene where she and Garrett get the ultimate reward from their battles with the past, where the frame of their pain crumbles down and give them freedom from the pain.
This series is getting just better with each unique installment. There are danger and threats, loving and lies, betrayal and secrets, the whole tale resembling life in its caricature way of exaggerated personalities and life events they face. I adored every moment I got to spend with them in that chaotic way of life at the Wrangler’s Creek, Texas. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity for a visit!
