Review ‘All-American Cowboy’ by Dylann Crush

This
city boy has it all figured out…
Until he goes toe-to-toe
with a fierce cowgirl
who’s snagged the home
field advantage.

Holiday, Texas is known far and wide as the most celebratory town in the
South–and no shindig is complete without one of its founding members. It’s a
real shame the last remaining Holiday is a city slicker, but what’s that old
saying about putting lipstick on a pig…?

Beck has no intention of being charmed by some crazy Texas town, but the minute
he lays eyes on his grandfather’s old honky tonk–and Charlie Walker, the
beautiful cowgirl who runs it–he finds himself wishing things could be
different. Life’s gentler in Holiday. Slower. More real than anything he’s ever
known. And when he looks into Charlie’s eyes, Beck may finally discover what
it’s like to truly belong.

I
definitely love a good cowboy story. So when I saw the cover of ‘All-American
Cowboy’ on Netgalley, I just had to request this read. And I was super excited
to find out I got accepted and I started reading as soon as possible.

‘All-American
Cowboy’ is the first book in the Holiday, Texas series and I must admit I had
some high expectations for this one. Having to take it easy due to my
pregnancy, makes me able to read a little more than I did the previous weeks so
I was really looking forward to a great romance story to take my mind of
things.

The main
character Charlie Walker is a tough as nails woman who has been working hard
for eight years to make the old Honky Tonk the Rose a success. When the owner
dies, Charlie is forced to play nice with his grandson Beck to make sure the
Rose will survive. But Beck definitely isn’t from Texas, and he isn’t used to
living outside his fancy Manhattan life.

This book
has all the things a great read should have. Cowboys, Romance, a strong female
character and a small town. But I just didn’t really like this book. I didn’t
hate it either, but I just didn’t love the characters. Somehow I really did not
feel the romance between Charlie and Beck. One thing I didn’t like for
example.. Charlie didn’t want to admit here feelings for Beck, so she stayed
away and was pretty unkind to Beck. And when I turned the page she started
kissing him and said she wanted to have ‘fun’. This just didn’t really felt
right to me.

There
where some pretty funny moments throughout this read. Which made me want to
keep on reading. Especially those moments with a huge pig. Yep.. a pig. I loved
that.

What I did
enjoy about this read was the little town of Holiday. I love small towns and
this town really had his charms.
