Will his proposal eventually win her heart?For rancher Chance Braxton, Josie Monroe was the classic girl next door. He’d fallen early and hard, but because her heart had belonged to his careless and indifferent brother, Chance had been permanently friend-zoned since Josie was a teen. Now Josie’s running her failing ranch all alone, and it’s time for Chance to step up and keep a promise he made to … promise he made to her dying mother – marry Josie and combine their ranches.
Josie Monroe doesn’t want help or need to be saved by anyone – especially her wealthy ranching neighbor and forever thorn in her paw, Chance Braxton. The serious, way-too-handsome cowboy has starred in too many of her fantasies, but he still sees her as a heart-broken girl. She’s a woman now, and she’s determined to prove everyone wrong: She can save her ranch and rebuild her father’s legacy…alone.
When Chance proposes, Josie’s problems are just beginning. So why does her pulse kick up every time he rides by and tips his Stetson?

Truly an adorable story!
First off let me say the cover should be framed in a gallery somewhere. IT screams East TEXAS in the Springtime and had me wanting to walk in the bluebonnets. Chance & Josie both have ranches side by side in East Texas and have grown up that way. Neighbor kids who saw each other every day and were friends. But Chance wanted more. Could Josie ever see past her school girl crush on his never do well brother Dev and look his way with more than a good friend look? Then life goes an throws unexpected hurdles called her mom’s will their way and well life really does get interesting.
True Blue Cowboy is book number one in the Blood Brothers series by Debra Holt. This is Chance Braxton and Josie Monroe’s story.
Josie and Chance were likable characters and I enjoyed their story. Once Josie quit being so hardheaded and Chance got off the fence, they found their happily ever after.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I enjoyed the characters in this book and found them to be very realistic. So many relationships some twists and turns and a happy ever after. I think everybody will enjoy Chance and Josie’s story.

Enjoyed reading this story.
A touching story with wonderful characters! A heartwarming storyline that quickly drew me in.
So funny I enjoyed the story!
Enjoyable read
Good read
Chance and Josie are a great couple, and there are several wonderful characters in the book. The only thing I had an issue with is that it took Josie about 2/3 of the book to get her head out of the sand and figure things out. Chance needs a medal in the patience he had with her. He’s every woman’s dream of a perfect partner.
It was just a feel-good book
I loved all three books in this series!
i enjoyed this book. Nice moral story learning to trust each other.
I did not like Josie. I really really liked Chance…. but he took way way way too much childishness from Josie for too long into the story. I really could not see a rancher woman putting up with Dev for so long. Other than her immaturity and his putting up with it, the rest was a good story.
Interesting romance.
Chance runs his own ranch since the death of his father and he has been very successful at it. Josie is his neighbour and she has been struggling to keep the ranch running since the death of her parents. Besides Josie has always had a crush on Devlin, Chance’s younger brother, which was why, she never saw Chance the way she should.
But in order to save her ranch, Chance and Josie try to get married and that is when Josie discovers what she feels for Chance.
The story moves at a predictable pace and is interesting at times with its own difficult moments between the lead characters as they misunderstand each other in their journey.
Overall, a cute emotional read.
“True Blue Cowboy” (nook) is a heartwarming story of love overlooked and misread. A dash of angst leads to a satisfying HEA.
