Maisey Yates is definitely one of my ‘go to’ authors. I’ve read several of her books over the years, and there hasn’t been one I didn’t enjoy. So I knew when I was looking for Christmas books, and saw ‘The Last Christmas Cowboy’, that this was the one I needed to read. Although this book ...KEEP READING »
Maisey Yates is definitely one of my favorite authors, and over the last view months I’ve been trying to read as many of her books as I could. So when her new Christmas book came up, and I was signing up for the HoHoHo Readathon, I knew this was a book I had to get and had to use for the readathon. So when HoHoHo started, I began reading as fast as I could.
Ever since I read a little about the youngest Dalton brother Caleb in the previous books in the Gold Valley series, I just knew I had to read this book. There is just something about his character that I loved from the start. And his character only got better and better if you ask me. Although I didn’t really connect with Ellie as much as I did with Caleb, her character was definitely one I was rooting for from the start.
Caleb has been in love with his best friends wife for years, even before she was his best friends wife. But life got in the way, and Caleb always kept his distance. Now his best friend is dead, and he feels a constant struggle between taking care of her because that is what his best friend would have wanted and his feelings. Yes, it sounds complicating and throughout this read you could ‘feel’ Caleb’s struggles.
The Christmas part in this book was definitely nice. I mean.. Cowboys and Christmas? Yep. I loved it! And although I really enjoyed the Christmas part, and I enjoyed the characters I didn’t love this book as much as I hoped when I started reading. I guess because of all those confusing feelings, and struggles.
But still.. even it’s not my favorite Maisey Yates read. ‘Cowboy Christmas Redemption’ really is a fun Romantic Christmas read I’d recommend.
Maisey Yates is one of my favorite authors. For the last view years I’ve read as many of her books as I could. So when I was looking for something to read while I was right in the middle of a move, I knew the latest book by Maisey Yates was perfect. Her books are always so fun, romantic and sexy and they always make me feel better. Like I said, perfect to read while I’m super busy and stressed.
‘Cowboy to the Core’ is the sixth book in the Gold Valley series but can be read as a standalone. In this book we meet Jamie Dodge. Jamie grew up with her dad and older brothers. She grew up as one of the guys and never had much time for nonsense like love or makeup. But when Jamie takes a job on Gabe Dalton’s ranch, she soon finds herself feeling things and doing things she never thought she wanted.
This book definitely didn’t disappoint. I was looking forward to reading Jamie’s story for a while, and now it was finally time to read it I was just so excited. I loved Jamie and Gabe. And what I loved most was the fact that they both where these tough people, at least to the outside world, but with each other they were so much more. There connection was just so fun to read about and I loved them.
Yes, the first moment they were really ‘together’ was not as perfect as I would have hoped. It just felt a little off to me. But the rest of the book really made up for that. The chemistry between Jamie and Gabe was flying of the pages, and I loved seeing hints of possible new main characters.
‘Cowboy to the Core’ was the perfect distraction to a very stressful move and I looked forward to those view stolen moments where I could read. I for one am really looking forward to the next book by Maisey Yates.
I love Maisey Yates, and I’ve read several of her books so far. There hasn’t been one book I didn’t love and I definitely plan on reading every one of her books. So when I saw that ‘Unbroken Cowboy’, the fifth book in the Gold Valley series came out I just couldn’t resist getting the eBook. Especially when I read that this book is about Dane and Beatrix. I’ve read a little about these two characters in Maisey’s other books, and I just couldn’t wait to read their story.
In ‘Unbroken Cowboy’ we read the story of Dane Parker, a bull rider who got into an accident months ago. An accident that injured him badly, and possible ended his career. As a former guy from the trailer-park, Dane has worked hard to get where he is. But now his career is possible over, he doesn’t know what to do with himself.
Beatrix is the ‘odd’ kid. But what a lot of people don’t see is how independent and strong Bea is. Bea is a very passionate, caring woman who is always helping people and animals in trouble. And when her long-time crush Dane needs help, Bea is by his side immediately.
I was really looking forward to reading this book. I’ve read about these characters in the other books, and especially Bea’s character was one I really wanted to get to know more. I loved that Bea always seemed different, a little weird, and loved animals. There was just something about her character that I could easily relate too and that seemed real. And I loved every minute of this book with her character. Bea’s characters was described as: “The person at the party who would be in the corner on her hands and knees making friends with the dog instead of chatting with people.” This just sounds like me, and I loved that.
Although Dane’s character doesn’t seem very nice, I loved him from the start. There was just something adorable about him and I loved how he just didn’t see Bea, until he did. The romance between Dane and Bea was great to read about and I just couldn’t get enough. Their chemistry definitely flew of the pages and I could easily imagine me sitting at a camp fire with those two.
Yes, ‘Unbroken Cowboy’ was definitely another great read by Maisey Yates. And yet again, this book makes me want to read even more books by Maisey Yates.
I’m a big fan of Maisey Yates. So when I got the opportunity to get a copy of ‘Seduce Me, Cowboy’, I just couldn’t resist. What I really love about books written by Maisey Yates, is that you can read all her books as standalones, but they are also part of a series and the characters are all family or friends of one another. So much fun!!
In ‘Seduce Me, Cowboy’ we meet Hayley Thompson. Hayley is the pastor’s daughter, and has lived a very sheltered life. Since Hayley’s brother left when she was very young, she worked hard to be the perfect daughter. She worked as the church secretary and lived at home for a long time. But now, Hayley finally got the courage to leave home and get another job. And her new boss is Jonathan Bear, a hardworking, seemingly unkind man who leaves a very private life.
This book was another great one if you ask me. Although I thought this book started a little slow, with Hayley going on a job interview and sharing that she wanted to change her life, I luckily started to love this book more and more the further I got.
Just like with most of Maisey’s books, the main characters where definitely a lot of fun to get to know. Hayley was this ‘good’ girl who desperately wanted to get away from her sheltered life. And Jonathan was this guy who believed people where all bad, and him especially. I loved the way they where just perfect for each other and how they changed one another. And well Jonathan.. There is just something about a grumpy cowboy!
The setting of Copper Ridge was definitely great. I love reading about small towns, and after reading other books my Maisey Yates, I definitely started to love Copper Ridge. And this book definitely leaves me wanting to read more.. yet again! My TBR never seems to lesson after reading a Maisey Yates book.
Hi there!
