Anticipating the launch of a new reality TV show Haley
"H.B." McKay arrives at the O'Donnell Horse Ranch in
Ringgold, Texas. Haley will be sidekick to Dewar O'Donnell,
the trail boss, to reenact the Chisholm Trail from Texas to
the final destination at Dodge City, Kansas. Sporting a
herd of 99 cows and 1 testy bull complete with horns, the
crew consists of 6 rowdy cowhands. Haley hadn't counted on
a gorgeous, tall cowboy to spend the next 30 days on the
trail with. Both Haley and Dewar are shocked at the instant
heat they feel towards each other, especially since Dewar
had expected H.D. to be a man.
Starting out as a sophisticated, strictly city woman,
complete with stilettos, suit and attitude, bets are staked
Haley won't last a week. Haley can't believe the station
owner, Carl Levy, her father, has sent her to suffer this
fate of hardship. Being of better stock than anyone thought
with ½ Cajun heritage, Haley faces a blistered bottom,
sunburn, wild meals, snakes, coyotes, unwashed body and only
bare necessities, but has a hide tougher than anyone
suspects. Befriending Eeyore, a donkey, she is followed
every step as he designates himself her protector. The
saving grace is the fierce hot body response between Haley
and Dewar, with neither seeing a happy ending for them with
two totally opposite backgrounds. Can Dewar give up the
country life he loves and can Haley give up her prestigious
life in Dallas for a forever love?
Carolyn Brown is extremely gifted in creating this cute
and humorous tale of a city girl gone country. The many
hilarious antics throughout the tale leaves you waiting for
the next surprise to fall. The gutsy heroine is so exciting
in her responses to every turn of events through the 30 day
cattle run that it keeps you smiling and laughing all the
way through the read. COWBOY SEEKS BRIDE is a great
entertaining read
that will not be soon forgotten. It is a super read that I
absolutely loved!
Rancher Dewar O'Donnell is a just an old-fashioned cowboy at
heart, and he can't wait to reenact the historic Chisholm
Trail ride with his buddies. The trial-run cattle drive for
a reality TV show sounds like a great time—until H.B. McKay
pulls up in her slick red sports car...
She's way out of her element...
Haley McKay is a feisty, high-powered businesswoman with the
power suit and stiletto heels to prove it. She's keen to
research her company's hot new idea for a reality TV
show—but mount up with a bunch of modern-day cowboys? Are
they kidding? It's too late to back out now, so Haley sets
out to prove that it will take more than snakes, storms, and
stampedes to make her back down.
Besides, sleeping under the stars with Dewar O'Donnell could
prove mighty interesting...
Loved it! Anything Carolyn does is wonderful! (Kim Cornwell 9:29pm August 2, 2013)
First thing I think of when I think of city folk on a cattle drive is the movie "City Slickers" with Billy Crystal. That was a very funny movie - and there wasn't any romance. I would think COWBOY SEEKS BRIDE would also bring laughter to my mouth, and maybe tears to my eyes, as the city girl shows them all what she's made of. Go, Carolyn Brown!
