The Kearney Brothers from Ireland are riding into Bear Creek … and into your heart!Adeline MurphyIn Texas, two things are gospel – football and rodeos. Growing up as the daughter of a football legend made me practically royalty, but it’s not a crown I’m interested in. Football life isn’t for me, no matter how hard my family pressures me with their motto of “If you can’t be them, marry them.” … me with their motto of “If you can’t be them, marry them.” Living in the shadow of my football star brothers was exhausting and I eventually became invisible all together. I bide my time working at my family’s car dealership until I gather up the nerve to tell them that I’m living life on my own terms. I have my own dreams and they don’t include marrying a football player or a cowboy.
My resolve was strong, until a cocky Celtic cowboy sauntered into my life. Ryan Kearney might not wear a football jersey, but wearing a cowboy hat and chaps was just as lethal. Devilish good looks with a mouth that could even charm the panties off a nun, I knew I was in trouble when he set his sights on me.
A roll in the hay with a playboy cowboy is the last thing I need… especially when I’m already falling for him.
Ryan Kearney
As an up and coming bull rider, I’ve learned that rodeo life is grueling, but it’s the life I’ve chosen. The pounding of your heart and the thunder of applause that rings in your ears when that buzzer calls out the end of the eight seconds is a sound like no other. My dream to be a professional bull rider in the American Pro Rodeo Circuit is finally becoming a reality when my brother and I leave Ireland to compete for our shot at Nationals in Las Vegas. If I want the title of the best bull rider in the world, being mediocre isn’t enough. To be the best, you have to beat the best, which requires me living, breathing and sleeping rodeos. Being in a committed relationship isn’t even on my radar. So I do casual relationships and it seems my notoriety as the Playboy Cowboy preceded me to America. What can I say? The ladies love cowboys and I love the ladies.
Charming them into bed is my second favorite pastime, so when the warm brown eyes of Adeline Murphy lock on mine and burn with yearning, I know I have her right where I want her. Except I don’t. The sexy spitfire seems immune to my charm and makes me work hard for her attention.
The chase has become a game – one that I’m determined to win and to make her mine. I wasn’t looking for forever, but I can’t imagine my life without her.
Is your heart ready for the heat of this insta-love story? All books in the Bear Creek Rodeo Series end in happily ever after and can be read as stand alone novellas. We hope you fall in love in Bear Creek!

The Celtic Cowboy by Jessica Marin is part of the Bear Creek Rodeo series. This is the story of Ryan Kearney and Adeline Murphy.
Ryan and his brother are in America to be Pro-Redo Riders and Ryan’s been told by his brother to pull in his playboy ways. But then he meets Adeline and everything is about her.
Loved this quick hot read!
The Celtic Cowboy was a fast, fun read! Loved the fiesty, sassy banta that Ryan and Adeline had going on! Great story!
Oh my.. this was such a good book, that I can hardly wait to read the next one.. The only thing that would make this book better would be a epilogue, to give you a brief or maybe a long look at the couples lives after their HEA ending.

Wowzers!! It has been a while since I have actually sat down and devoured a book without putting it down! The Celtic Cowboy by Jessica Marin is addicting from beginning to end.
Ryan is your definition of a man whore, or that is the impression I received, according to his brother Rhett. However, Rhett demands that Ryan’s whorish come to an end while they are touring America with the rodeo. When Ryan meets Adeline, he will have to do something he has never done before, work for the girl.
Adeline is drowning in Bear Creek working for her father at his car dealership. She wants to do what she loves, Graphic Design, and leave Bear Creek. When she meets Ryan, she starts to wonder what could be.
Adeline and Ryan have chemistry right from the start. They also can butt heads like no other but still leave you wondering when they will just hook up already. I loved that Adeline was not some girl that could be walked all over, that she spoke her mind and was not afraid of what the other person thought. Ryan was just as expected, cocky, but he also had a heart of gold.
The Celtic Cowboy is a fast-moving book that does not leave room for unwanted drama. It is a great read from beginning to end with the right amount of feels and all that jazz. I highly recommend you read this book today.
After having met Ryan and Adeline in The Irish Cowboy, I was looking forward to getting the story of the playboy brother and sassy best friend, and I was not let down. The teasing and playful banter between these two made me literally laugh out loud, how could you not want to follow along with such a fun story. This cute, bite-sized read left me with a sense of happiness and a permanent smile. Be sure to check out why!
After meeting Ryan and Adeline in The Irish Cowboy, I was excited to see how their story would go. I loved the banter between the two. She is super sassy and he is the cocky playboy that doesn’t cower away when the sass comes out. They compliment each other perfectly. I love the Kearney Brother’s and hope to see more of them in the future!
The Celtic Cowboy by Jessica Marin is a sweet and steamy read. In book 2, we get sexy bull rider Ryan Kearney’s story and meet the woman who brings him to his knees- Adeline. She does it with her sassy mouth and her sweet ways. She is just perfect for him. This story was a great follow up to The Irish Cowboy. Another winner by Ms. Marin!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars ******
I really enjoyed the latest book in the Bear Creek Rodeo Series. This time we get Ryan’s story. He is a playboy who is looking for a good time not Ms. Right. When his brother lays down the law and informs him that he can’t have any one night stands and to keep his focus on what he is trying to accomplish in the rodeo world, he doesn’t know how he can survive. He looks for a woman to keep his brother distracted so he can have his fun….and that is when he meets Adeline. She is out with her best friend there to celebrate her friend’s accomplishments when she meets Ryan. She is always around family doing what they ask of her but she is determined to follow her own dreams of being a graphic artist for her friend Tessa’s books. Their attraction is instanteous and off the charts hot!!! She knows about Ryan’s reputation and wonders if he is only looking for a good time or if he feels the way that she does. Ryan knows that she could be the one for him but can he convince her of that? What a great story….I was hooked from beginning to end. I wish we could of gotten an epilogue at the end but it still ended just fine for me. I can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next….well done!!!!
love this story. She’s a football princess who wants no part of it. He wanted to be a star but they didn’t count on power Love this author.
A brief encounter with Irish bull riding brothers that will have your heart racing! I enjoyed that this story was not only about Ryan and Adeline, but a side story of her best friend and his brother. I hope to see more of these characters in a future story, cuz this book wasn’t nearly long enough for me. Such a cute story!
I was so excited to see what happened between Ryan & Adeline after they met in The Irish Cowboy. I enjoyed watching Adeline making Ryan work for her and not just falling in line. I felt like the ending was a little rushed, but overall it was cute & sweet just like the first book!!
Celtic Cowboy is a swoon worthy, sweet story that I could not put down. Trust me when I say Ryan will steal you heart with his cocky attitude and sexy bull riding self. His soft and vulnerable side really made me adore him. Then there is Adeline who is a gorgeous and funny firecracker who gives him a run for his money and fireworks explode. These two and their witty banter just made everything even better.
Celtic Cowboy is heartwarming, sexy and will make you want to save a bull and ride a cowboy!
