A Cowboy for Keeps

Chestnut Creek, Book 3

by Laura Drake

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

An orphaned baby not has two relatives wanting her in their lives… can these two come to an agreement on the of both their deceased siblings' child?

Country girl and local restaurant manager, Lorelie doesn’t trust men. And she definitely doesn’t trust her new ward’s uncle, Reese St. James. After being burned by her past love, Lorelie is determined to prove that she doesn’t need a man and her and her baby niece only need each other.

The only thing more shocking than the sudden death of his twin brother for Reese, is the discovery that he does still have a remaining relative alive- his newly discovered niece. Reese has taken his family empire and brought it to the next level and now there will be another St. James to pass the legacy down to… that is if he can get her aunt to see all the possibilities he can offer his niece that she can’t on her own.

I really enjoyed this story of three lost souls uniting together. Both Lorelie and Reese had to take perspective on what was keeping them from finding and keeping love in their lives and make changes in order to open their hearts to the possibility of a ready made family.

The slow burn enemies to lovers romance hooked me in from the start! Reese was the perfect hero! I also loved all the quirky side characters from the small town. This was the third book of he Chestnut Creek series, but can totally be read as a stand alone… but I enjoyed it so much, that I will definitely be going back and checking out the first two books from the Chestnut Creek series.

A Cowboy for Keeps by Laura Drake is expected to release July 28th, 2020.

Thanks so much to Forever Romance and Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
