Marin Thomas returns us to Marietta, MT, a small town of beautiful homes, friendly people, full of gossipmongers, and handsome cowboys. Sweet Home Cowboy is a fun, sweet romance. It is also a family bonding story between a great-grandfather and his great-granddaughter, both who were unaware of each other’s existence. Well-developed characters, a fun plot of the characters meeting by an accidental crashing of a speed-dating event, obstacles to overcome, and the blossoming romance. You are left with a more than satisfying HEA and the true love message of “When you truly love someone, you put the other person’s wants and needs before your own.” All the books in the Love at the Chocolate Shop series can be read as a standalone novel. You will have former couples and characters from each of the previous stories woven into the story and it’s fun to read them in order to see how their romances are progressing. A wonderful addition to the series and a sweet romance.
Love the Marietta series and this was no exception
Old fashioned love story.
Very good read.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Characters who do random acts of kindness and are persistent in going after what they want and believe in are
evidenced in this book and this was great! I checked the tear-jerker and tragic boxes because it was very sad reading about the loss of lives and opportunities that happened to the main characters’ family members. I also had a few joyful tear-jerker moments. My favorite joyful tear-jerkers were: Wesley’s grand stand against Elena’s great-grandfather, her declaration to Wesley afterwards, and his proposal.
Entertaining
Very good!
Fun loving book. Great story.
Great easy relaxing read! I sat down and read this in one afternoon, that I chosen as my day down.
I just finished this book yesterday. I really enjoyed it. The characters were well developed and likable. I know a book is good when I almost hate to finish it because I like the characters so much. Wes was every woman’s dream of the perfect man. Elena was strong without being bossy and showed she had a vulnerable side. Her wish to have a relationship with the great-grandfather she never knew existed was proof of her caring nature. Grandpa Alistair was gruff on the outside but a softie inside. The people of Marietta Montana created the perfect backdrop for this story. This is a feel good fun read.
A very easy reaf

Great, just my mind of story. Loved the people.
I absolutely loved the characters in this story!!!
This one was such a fun cute read you can’t help but finish it smiling. Elena Puente comes to Marietta in spectacular fashion. First she’s almost spotted on the side of the road in only her panties and bra, then she makes the five mile trek into town only to be swept up into the town’s first speed dating event. Bonus to the speed dating, she meets sexy cowboy Wesley Banks. Now for the reason she came to Marietta to begin with. To meet her biological great grandfather.
This story is so cute and definitely one you want to read. I highly recommend it.
This story was very entertaining. The characters and how they interacted was very well thought out. I could not put this book down.
Very enjoyable read! Had a long plane ride and this took me all the way to my destination!
I enjoyed this book a lot. Easy read, fun and happy ending.
