When Marietta newcomer Elena Puente is coerced into attending a speed-dating event at the popular Copper Mountain Chocolate shop, she’s blindsided by a serious attraction to local cowboy, Wesley Banks.Still recovering from a broken engagement, the first-grade teacher from Las Vegas isn’t looking for romance. She’s in Montana to get to know the great-grandfather she never knew existed until she … until she found some hidden family letters. Judge Kingsley is a grouchy recluse and he’s far from welcoming, but Elena is determined to stay in town long enough to give his neglected estate on Bramble Lane a facelift.
Elena’s resolve to avoid romance is tested when she discovers Wesley is the caretaker of her grandfather’s rural property. Soon, she and the cowboy are attending more speed-dating events at the chocolate shop and she’s seeking his advice on how to deal with his ornery boss. Local gossips wager the old Judge will run Elena out of town before anything serious develops between her and Wesley. But Wesley’s a determined man, too, and he’s betting Elena belongs in Marietta forever…with him.

Loved the characters & easy read!
Really enjoyed this quick read.
I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters were original and entertaining. The heroine returns home to reunite with a grandfather she did not know she had. He is a curmudgeon but looks are deceiving. She has a big heart and feisty. She connects with her grandfather and finds true love with a handsome cowboy. It is a story of family, love and new beginnings.

I love Marietta,Montana. No, it’s not a real place but the authors who write about it sure make it feel like it is. I can just taste the chocolates from Copper Mountain Chocolates on my tongue. Oh my body wants chocolates after reading “Sweet Home Cowboy”.
The Judge has always been one of my favorite characters. He peeks in and out of the different books based in Marietta. He has reminded me of that character Old Mr Potter who drove George Bailey nuts. But unlike him the Judge meets his match in his grand daughter, I felt like I was actually in that creepy haunted but loved old place. It was wonderful to see all the amazing things happen.
Who would have thought speed dating at Sage’s Chocolate shop… and with Elena slipping out early to find Wes?????? Of Marin are you cooking up something there?
Readers you have to read “Sweet Home Cowboy” to see if you agree.
Marin Thomas knows how to write a book so that makes your heart smile. I know mine is still grinning and happy. I am still wanting chocolate too and not suppose to have any. OH to live in Marietta and be close to Copper Mountain Chocolates!
