His first mistake was marrying her. His second was falling in love. Chase McKnight will do anything to secure his family's ranch—but marriage to a complete stranger? That's a hard pill to swallow. Yet the will is clear: Chase needs a wife by his side if he wants to keep his home, so he meets his veiled lady at the courthouse steps and reluctantly says "I do." Too bad he married the wrong bride. When Boston runaway Emily Fields agreed to marry a Texas stranger to escape her family's scandal, she wasn't prepared to get hitched to the wrong cowboy! Stuck in a secret compromise, she has one year to learn the ways of the ranch and convince Chase's family they're happily married. But when the lie becomes true, the past catches up to them and they must save the love they never expected...

I always love cowboy stories. So when I saw ‘Cowboy Meets His Match’ on Netgalley I knew this was a book I wanted to read. So when I got an email saying that I was approved to read this one I was super excited and started reading as fast as I could.

In ‘Cowboy Meets His Match’ we meet Emily Fields. Emily has fled to Texas to marry a stranger and to hide from her secrets and get a new start. But what she didn’t expect is to marry the wrong stranger.

Chase is trying to save his family’s ranch from falling into the wrong hands. And to achieve that goal he has to get married. But due to unforeseen circumstances, Chase accidentally marries Emily, a woman who definitely isn’t used to life in the country.

Although ‘Cowboy Meets His Match’ is the second book in the Haywire Brides series, it can be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the first book, and I never felt like I was missing stuff. This book is definitely a sweet and fun story that kept me hooked. Both the main characters Emily and Chase are fun to get to know. They are both from very different worlds, and that made for some fun conversations.

The romance between Emily and Chase was very mild and definitely took some time. But it was fun. I loved how they slowly grew closer and closer. And although I don’t think it’s possible to marry someone accidentally, not even back in the day, I still enjoyed this read. It was a nice and easy read that was perfect to read after a very busy day.

The one thing I didn’t really like about this book, was the way some things felt very rushed. In only a very small amount of time one of the characters was missing, than someone got shot, and if that wasn’t enough a young girl went missing too. This just was a little too much for my taste. Especially since these three things weren’t connected.

Overall, ‘Cowboy Meets His Match’ was a nice and easy read perfect for when you need something relaxing to read that’s not to complicated.
