Bella Whitmore is the heir to the Whitmore Shipping fortune. Refusing to be pigeon-holed into the socialite box, Bella has worked her entire life to show her father that she can be the son he never had and take over the Whitmore Shipping Empire. So when she wakes up, on a ranch in Montana, missing the memories of the last month of her life, you’d think that would be the worst case scenario. And … And it is…until she realizes the devil she’d worked so hard to avoid for the last year is now her husband.
Sawyer Cooper knows he’s a devil. Handsome, charismatic, and with an eye for feeding people’s vices, Sawyer’s reinvented himself as a shark in the business world, but very few realize that he’s actually a Cooper of the Country Coop fortune. But rather than resting on the laurels (and red-neck reputation) of Country Coop, Sawyer wants to show the world exactly how important farming can be. To do this, he needs Bella Whitmore’s help. Every bit as beautiful as her name suggests, and smarter than everyone else in the room, Sawyer knows that she could make his dreams come true, both inside and outside of the bedroom. And after a year of pursuing her, she’s finally said yes — to everything.
But after a horseback riding accident, Bella’s brain has reset back to the beginning, and Sawyer was never good at starting a game over. Especially not after he’d already won. Now, Sawyer needs to figure out how to woo her for a second time. Because this time around it’s not just his professional pride on the line: it’s his heart.

A quick fast-paced and heart-warming romance story with a great storyline that is easy to read, well-developed characters, and so much more. A great start to a new series.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book for Hidden Gems
A promising start to the Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. The Cowboy’s Forgetful Bride is a sweet romance with good characters and an interesting storyline. I look forward to meeting the other brothers in the books to come.
This is my first time reading this author, Leslie North’s work and I completely loved it! This is the first book of the series, “Brothers of Cooper Ranch” and it was Sawyer and his Bella’s story and what a story it was! These two have to go through turmoil and obstacles to be able to get to have their happily ever after <3 But at the end, they do and I loved every single moment of reading this story and I can't wait to read the next one from this series! 🙂

The first book in a three-book series. This one has Sawyer Cooper in a big city, not in the country. He is working at drumming up support for a new business plan he has and he is getting nowhere. Meanwhile, Bella Whitmore not only has the name and business behind her, she just has a father that won’t let her run the family business. He thinks women should be in the kitchen not in the board room. During the night of fancy clothes and high-end drinks, and art. Bella and Sawyer flirt but nothing too serious. The next chapter opens with a doctor talking to Sawyer and Bella and they are in Montana. She has an accident fallen off a horse and now has amnesia. She does not remember their marriage or the business deal that they had been working. When you get further along into the story you will find out how much they want to be together or not, and will Sawyer decide to walk away from the deal in order to have the woman he has been pining over for years. A very good book with good characters. I received this book From Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at http://www.1rad-readerreviews.com

I normally adore anything that Ms. North writes. This time, I just had a hard time with it. I felt like I was missing something. Like the company that Sawyer was putting together Farm2U was a little confusing as to why Bella was so needed to make it work. Another was if she married before 30, she received her trust fund BUT there were several references to her ex. Huh? Also I didn’t understand why Sawyer but want to use his family’s business but his share in his brother’s business as collateral. This is the first book in the series so it wasn’t like I missed a prior book to put pieces together.
While the plot was confusing, the characters were easy to relate to. I did appreciate the dual POV format.
This book should only be read by someone over 18.
The characters were believable and you liked the interaction between Bella and Sawyer and all the difficult layers they had to go through. Each had their own demons from their respective past that they had to overcome. It had humor, spunk, determination and was a good read. So when you get the chance pick up a copy and enjoy.
What a wonderful lighted and fun perfect mash up that finds a way to grab you and have you reading till the end.
Leslie North has written another great first book in her brand new series, Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. Sawyer Cooper is what I would describe as a reluctant cowboy when the story first starts, but soon is back in the wilds of Montana where his heart truly belongs.
Bella has always strived for acceptance by her overbearing father, but when she awakes in a ranch house in Montana and married to the man she has coveted from afar, confusion is a mild account of her state of mind.
Cowboys have always been a favourite of mine, and even though this story commenced in a city setting, I truly enjoyed the world-building and visual descriptions of Montana throughout the book. Sawyer and Bella displayed a multitude of emotions, which required much soul searching and growth that was intriguing, and frustrating too.
I would happily recommend this story if you have previous enjoyed books by Ms North or simply love a sexy man in cowboy boots and a Stetson!
An entertaining romance as Sawyer and Bella get a do over when Bella wakes up with no memory of marrying Sawyer. As she works to piece together her life as it is now, Sawyer must work to make his deal with Bella a real marriage. They have fallen in love with each other, but there are pieces missing that must be addressed. Bella must find herself as Sawyer slowly reveals a past she has forgotten, as the twists of what they thought they knew are revealed as they move to another level in their love and marriage. I was gifted a copy of “The Cowboy’s Forgetful Bride” by Booksprout. My opinion is my own. 4.25 Stars!
Bella Whitmore is the heir to Whitmore Shipping. She ignores Sawyer at an art event because he is after her to do some business together. When he sets his sights on her father he is stunned by how he talks about his daughter and says as much before leaving. Bella overhears an it makes her want to do business with him. However when she is thrown from a horse she wakes with no memory of their deal. So Sawyer tells her that they are married to get her to remember their deal. What will Bella do when she really remembers? Will Sawyer want to claim Bella as his own for real?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot, This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any book lover.

Bella, heiress to a fortune, and Sawyer have been flirting with each other for over a year now but nothing else has happened between them. Then one morning she wakes up and her memory is a bit fuzzy and she certainly doesn’t know why Sawyer is at her bedside in a lovely room that she doesn’t remember. When she finds out that they have been married to each other for over a month and that she’s recovering from being thrown off a horse [she doesn’t ride horses?] she feels very scared and confused. What possessed her to marry him? The last thing she can remember is at a party and he puts her father in his place about denigrating Bella’s prowess as a business woman and defending her. What happens was Bella’s memory slowly begins to return and she discovers that she has real feelings for her husband? This is my favourite book of all time by Leslie North. Bella’s father is a detestable odious little man who needs putting in his place and as for her so called ‘boyfriend’ he is just despicable and creepy! Sawyer is an all alpha male hero that is there for his woman and Bella begins to realise that things are happening the way they should! Written in a lovely relaxed style of way but one that kept me riveted to my kindle till I finished the book as it was just too good to put down.I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
They were both from rich families but they wanted to make their own way. She wakes up with no memories of the last month she to an accident. She finds she had married. He had fought hard to win her over the first time. Now can he do it a second time? See if he can

The Cowboy’s Forgetful Bride by Leslie North this is book 1 in The Brother’s of Cooper Ranch series.
I enjoyed this first book in the series. Who doesn’t like a really good looking hot cowboy that knows how to do it the right way?
Sawyer Cooper knows what he wants, he reinvented himself as a shark in the business world, but very few know that he’s actually a Cooper of the Country Coop fortune. Sawyer wants to show the world exactly how important farming can be. To do this, he needs Bella Whitmore’s help. He knows that she could make his dreams come true, both inside and outside of the bedroom. She is gorgeous and puts his blood sizzling with just a look.
Bella Whitmore is the heir to the Whitmore Shipping fortune. Bella has worked her entire life to show her father that she can be the son he never had and take over the Whitmore Shipping Empire. Her dad is a brute and old fashion he thinks her place is at home not at the helm of the business. She fights the attraction she feels for Sawyer as hard and long as she can.
They both play the cat and mouse game for a year until he completely brakes down her defenses and they finally get together. Unfortunately after Bella has a freak horse accident all that’s been achieved maybe lost, but it is just a set back…. At least it is what he hopes.
This is a love story of a cowboy and a city girl, with lots of business in between some really steamy and some really serious. I really like the way Sawyer gave Bella the space she needed to regain herself back. It was a heartwarming novel, with HEA 🙂
Really nice story about Bella waking up and finding herself married to Sawyer. Yes they have great chemistry, and yes Bella remembers him, but not that they got together or married. Since Bella is the heir to a shipping company and Sawyer needs said shipping company for his new business venture, it’s a struggle for Bella to believe Sawyer wants her for her and not her company. Sawyer on the other hand is frustrated that Bella doesn’t remember and has this takes time away from his new business. Both characters are wonderful people I enjoy reading about. And of course there is an HEA.
Recommend this book – a fun sweet story.

An entertaining, fast paced, slightly romantic read. This well written short story grabbed my attention from the start with ups and downs that kept drawing Bella ans Sawyer together. The characters were complex, with undeniable chemistry and interesting with a rollercoaster of a rocky start as they danced around mutual attraction till fate stepped in. A definite permanent library keeper.

I just finished reading this book and it was awesome! I love a good romance with a cowboy. The characters are well developed and are interesting to read. I would definitely recommend this book, it was a page turner.
(Review with spoilers)
First book in a new series. Great romance. I loved it.
I loved their romance. I loved seeing them together, falling in love again.
I loved Sawyer, how he’s always fought for what he wants. First for his life, for choosing what to do, and then for Bella. First he wanted to conquer her, then he wanted to be with her. And after he was about to lose her, he struggled to conquer her heart and make her a part of his life forever. I doesn’t humiliate him that Bella has brilliant ideas. He is proud of her.
Bella is brilliant, very good at her job. And she feels bad because her father doesn’t value her. She shouldn’t mind, when she has the respect of the people who matter. I’m not talking about Sawyer. He does count, but not because they are together and in love. He respected and valued her before that. He believed in her, and nobody had done it before. And now she has her own respect.
Their marriage was not one based on love. Not initially. Now it is. They want more than a marriage of convenience.
I recommend it.
I received an ARC from the author, and this is my honest review.
