I loved this book so much I couldn’t put it down.
Lexi was such an amazing character. She was kind, sweet. friendly, hardworking and way too lenient on her family. She was just an all around good person. Meeting Ash intrigued her but she was a romantic at heart and at first Ash seemed to have heart breaker all over him. When a baby shows up and Lexi can see just how out of depths Ash is, she starts to see the man underneath and realizes that she could easily fall for him.
Ash is a man who is unhappy with the predicament that his father left him in. Fighting with his new brother and a marriage stipulation isn’t easy to deal with. Luckily the neighbor next door is nice to look at and not too bad to be around.
The flirting that these two did in the beginning was off the charts but I really liked after the baby was introduced. I loved the visual that Mrs. Carver painted about this strong, masculine man who could easily wrestle a bear have to hold a baby let alone feed and change its diaper. There were some laugh out loud moments and Lexi handled them wonderfully!
Didn’t like this one as well as the first one. Plot moved too fast for me and I didn’t connect well with the writing.
Ash Colt is stuck in Tarnation, Texas for 6 months and in order to keep his ranch and what his Father left him in the will, he has to complete finding a wife. He’s doesn’t want a wife but doesn’t want to lose his ranch either. Lexi Lock is a hardworking single woman who has become a door mat for her family. Such wonderful characters and continuation of this Tarnation, Texas book series!
The Cowboy’s Son is the second book in the Tarnation Texas series and I must say that I have fell in love with this series and the Colt brothers. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.
This is the story of Lexi and Ash, one is a hopeless romantic and the other has to have a wife, but really doesn’t want to get married. Throw in a baby that poor Ash has no idea how to deal with, and even though Lexi is beyond confused, she helps out all she can.
This book is all about family and friends, with some passion, romance, drama, and fun thrown in. I cannot wait to see what happens next with this family!
Ash and Lexi’s story was one that COMPLETELY threw me for a loop in the best of ways in The Cowboys Son by Rhonda Lee Carver! Every time I think she has written a unique story, she comes out with another one that just sucks me in and doesn’t let me back up for air.
I really don’t want to give away anything on this book, but Ash and Lexi were drawn to one another immediately in ways neither of them could explain. But when a baby shows up on Ash’s doorstep, literally, his life is thrown for a loop. But there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Can these to overcome all of the odds and get their HEA?
Loved this book and cannot wait for the next Tarnation story to come out!
I received a free copy of this book and I chose to review it. I am a Rhonda Lee Carver fan, I know I will get a wonderful story. This book is well written and the characters are awesome. I encourage everyone to get this book it is worth your time and effort. This one will not disappoint you.
I love hot, sexy cowboys. This is a great story of love and determination. Ash was given a stipulation in a will, marry within six months or lose the ranch. Lexi is happy being single, even though everybody else thinks she needs a man. When they meet, there are definitely sparks flying. Can they overcome some obstacles to be together? Will a secret destroy their relationship before it even gets started? This is a must read for any romance lover.
It is my favorite of the series so far…looking forward to the rest of the boys…
This is the phenomenal story of Ash and Lexi! Romance, friendship and family this is a must read for all book lovers. Rhonda Lee Carver is a definite one click book.
This is dramatic, amusing, surprising and romantic. Ash is under the pressure of finding a wife, and he’s trying to fight his attraction to Lexi, because he doesn’t see the two connecting. And then someone drops a baby off claiming that he’s his father. Lexi is a romantic who has saved herself for her soul mate, and she thinks that might be Ash, until the baby shows up, then she’s confused. She is not thrilled with the thought that Ash could sleep with someone and then not remember her, but her attraction to him is so strong that she wants to be with him anyway. I love Ash and Lexi, he’s sweet and caring and charming. Lexi is strong and vulnerable and caring. I can’t wait for the next book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Lexi’s friends took her out to eat for her birthday and had her party while watching male dancers. Ms. Carver painted the scene with words so that you felt like you were there. While she is there her friends, Aunt an her sister talked her into taking a welcome basket to their neighbors. After leaving the basket on their porch, one of the brothers came to thank her.
This book has alot of great scenes and if I am not careful I could give away some of the best parts. I think that you will enjoy this book. I haven’t read one of her books yet that I didn’t like.
Buzz, you are a mean old man who didn’t do right by your sons, but…. DAMN! Love this second story in the Tarnation Texas set. Ash and Lexi are a match made in heaven. Ash really doesn’t believe in love, and Lexi believes in soul-mates. Yet, they are perfect for one another. I do believe that Buzz in watching from the other side and laughing! Wonderful story, delightful telling!
The Cowboy’s Son is #2 in the series, and what a great series it has become. This was a very good read; it took me a day to read this! I love love love Lexi Lock, there is nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic. Lexi who is hardworking, feels that there is a man out there that is just right for her and she’s willing to wait.
Ash Colt who is in Tarnation with his brothers working their way through their fathers’ stipulations….and one of them being he needs to have a wife! Ashe meets Lexi and instant sparks start flying. Everything seems to be going in the right direction for these two…. well that is until a baby is left at the doorstep of the farm (insert HUGE twist).
This story is not your typical storyline, and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed after reading this story. I can’t wait until the next one comes out to see how these Colt boys are doing.
Lexi was a romantic who had seen the ugliness of love, she knew there had to be the perfect guy out there for her so she didn’t settle. Ash was under the pressure from his dad’s will and thought it stupid because he didn’t want to get married. But sometimes fate interferes with our best laid plans. What could be better than a hot cowboy who finds you irresistible. Just when things are coming along for these two, someone drops a baby at his door. Can they really rush into a ready made family and have it work. I think you’ll be surprised.
“The Cowboy’s Son” (Tarnation, Texas Book 2) by Rhonda Lee Carver is a great read. I loved Ash and Lexi’s story. This story is full of humor, hot cowboys, small-town life, romance, passion, twists and turns, and more. I’m anxious to see what happens next with the Colt brothers. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, family, small-town life, and series.
I really liked book one. I loved book two in the Tarnation series. Of course I always love a secret baby romance and this one has one incredible twist. Rhonda Lee Craver really writes a good cowboy romance and this one has lots of great characters and great subplots. I am really looking forward to book 3.
This was another awesome story and is book two in Ms. Carver’s new series. Ash hates being at the whim that his father left him in. Lexi’s character was very likeable. She was strong, feisty, sweet and a hard worker. When Ash and Lexi meet up, you can tell they like each other and the sparks start flying. And when the baby shows up, Ash is helpless so its Lexi to the rescue where they become even closer. But something is bound to come up. Will it make them stronger or break them apart? If you like western romance, then you need to pick this book up. I loved all the feelings and emotions from this and am now looking forward to the next book in the series!
Ash needs a wife ASAP so he and his brothers don’t lose their ranch(es). Lexi wants to find her own Prince Charming. Get the two together and add a surprise baby to the mix and you have a great story that’s full of chemistry, some drama and a HEA!

Oh how I love Tarnation, Texas. Something about the Cole brothers makes you want to put roots there. Ash and Lexi’s story is one that I really enjoyed. Don”t know if it is the gentleman in Ash or the waiting for her soulmate you see in Lexi. But it drew me in.
The flirtation of the two was great. I loved seeing the protective side and nervousness that came from time to time of Ash.
Won’t be disappoint. Rhonda Lee Carver
