Mason and Tricia both have secrets. They’re both attracted to each other but will the secrets get in the way. I enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and kept my interest.
This story is delightful, amazing and wonderful! That being said, I smiled a lot, used a Kleenex and kept reading to the HEA. She made many mistakes in her life but won everything with two little toddlers; he lost everything, wore jeans with holes and a tattered shirt; and, just maybe second chances were in store for both of them. I loved the book; it’s clean and grabbed my heart. Thanks for an excellent story-line.
All about training horses.
Mason had arrived on Tricia’s family farm to help train the her horses so she could get them ready to sell so she could move on with her life. Mason was there because he worked for Roger, Tricia’s father-in-law, who was determined to find a reason to take her twins away from her. But, the more time they spent together, the more they began to develop feelings that felt like a forever kind of love. Was the secret between them going to tear them apart or would they be able to trust that love could win out in the end?
I loved this story very much. I especially liked Mason, who was calm and kind and was a good man. He wanted to do right by Tricia but felt his obligation to Roger, keenly. He couldn’t move forward in one direction until he had taken care of what was hanging over him. This story was clean and romantic and was story of healing and forgiveness and trust and love; all parts of a great story.
I borrowed this book through the Kindle Lender’s Library and look forward to reading more by this author.
The Cowboy’s Family, by Carolyne Aarsen, is a beautiful, poignant story of redemption and second chances in life. I loved the passion both Tricia and Mason had for horses, and how reading body language is essential for this book. I also loved the descriptions, the scenery, and how everything added up to transport the reader to this particular ranch and the mountains surrounding it.
Despite the book being the second in the series, it can also be read as a standalone.
Wow! This is a powerful story. Due to injuries, Lucas has been discharged from the military. When Lucas returns home, he finds his ex-girlfriend Summer taking care of his estranged grandmother in his home. Summer would never have accepted this nursing job if she knew that Lucas would come home early. Summer is planning on giving up her baby for adoption and doesn’t want to explain the circumstances to Lucas. As Lucas, Summer, and his grandmother spend time together, they grow closer. I received a free copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. I love this book which illustrates that life can be complicated and that forgiving ourselves and others is so important to healing. I highly recommend this book and series.
The Cowboy’s Family by Carolyne Aarsen is a touching story about finding self worth and love in an unlikely place. This was a very sweet and moving story where the characters find each other and love of each other, family and faith. Highly recommended read.
Mason and Tricia both have pasts that they are allowing to shape their futures. Can a deception be forgiven? Redemption only comes from the Lord. Loved how they both eventually embraced forgiveness for themselves and each other. A love story.
“THE COWBOY’S FAMILY
CAROLYNE AARSEN”
Second chances gives one hope. Mason Harding and Tricia Tye Bouche have made mistakes, but by the Grace of God good things can come out of hard situations.
This is a book that deals with family. Families are wonderful, but can also be judgmental and unfair.
This is a positive walk with families who desire the best for each other. Something we can take into our own lives.
This was a great story of redemption. I loved how hard Tricia worked to change the way her life was going. She was a dedicated mother and daughter. She persevered through a lot of people looking down their noses at her. Mason was a hard-working man that struggled with what his boss was asking him to do and the woman that she was coming to know. I enjoyed watching how their romance played out. It tugged at heartstrings and was full of redemption. I recommend to those that enjoy reading about second chances at life and sweet romance.
I received a copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
I really enjoyed this story and I am so glad there are two more books in this series. There are two really strong, inspiring characters in this story. Tricia Tye is a single mother of twins. Her husband died a while ago and she just gotten out of a relationship when it turned abusive. Like any single mom she has doubts that she is a very good parent and she has some mending to do with her relationships with her dad and her brothers when she moves back home.
Mason Harding is a sexy horse trainer whose fiancee died several years ago. He has been hired on at the Tye family ranch. Tricia does not know there is an ulterior motive that brought Mason to their ranch. Between that mystery and the sparks and chemistry between these two characters and you have an interesting story.
The story was also interesting with the secondary characters of Tricia’s brothers and future sister in law and those adorable two year old twins, Cash and Hope. This story has so much going on that I could not put the book down! I like that it was a sweet and clean romance. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
The Cowboy’s Family tells the tale of a young mother with darling twins who is struggling to overcome past bad decisions and keep her family safe. As always in Ms. Aarsen’s stories, trusting in God plays a major role in helping people accept and move past their failings. This book is a sweet romance that almost anyone should enjoy.
