Pretend to Be My Cowboy

Solid Series Starter. This is the beginning of a new series by two authors combining under a single pen name, and while I had only read one of the two before... this is truly a solid sweet romance that her fans will enjoy, but also shows where she is not the only voice in the room. And yet, there is never a blatant change of perspective or anything that overtly gives away that two different people were writing this - which actually speaks to just how well they work together both as storytellers and through the editing process. Absolutely one for the sweet/ clean crowd - there is barely any kissing, much less anything else. (Sorry, steamier fans.) Also one for the Hallmark Movie type crowd, as this is absolutely one of their infamous general plots - big city girl comes to the wide open country, falls in love with the charming small town and one of its resident cowboys. While this book had some minor (Hallmarkie) level drama, there is a fair amount of foreshadowing here that there is at least the potential for meatier drama down the road in the series, and that could actually be a welcome change of pace for the one author I'm familiar with here. (For those that read this book and enjoy it, you're absolutely going to love that author's work as well.) Excellent work, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses and how many books are ultimately in the series. Very much recommended.
