Busy Bean Book 2: Cowboy by L.B. Dunbar

Busy Bean Book 2

Pregnant at forty-two? Back the cow up...

Harland Bull Eaton has lost many things—his first wife, his beloved mother, those three women he proposed to . . . Oh, and there was that time he almost lost the family dairy farm due to a scandal. He’s losing faith in just about everything, especially love.

But one night, his friends give him a dare. No commitments. No heartbreak. Just buy that gorgeous redhead a drink. The big-city bombshell he’s set his eyes on swirls him into a tailspin that lands them in bed for a one-night stand he’s pretty sure he’ll never forget. But this time, he swears, he won’t let his heart ride herd on his common sense.

Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink. Even less expected is when she raises that offer to “take me to bed, cowboy.” She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong.

Turns out once won’t be nearly enough. Won’t ever be enough, feeling the way she does. But secrets and an unexpected surprise are a lot to handle . . . unless these two can break a trail to an unexpected happily ever after.

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Scarlett wanted one night. One night to forget that her husband (or soon to be ex) cheated on her and that her job fired her because she was "too old". Bull wanted one night to just let go and stop looking for love. Because every time he thinks he has something great, something goes wrong. But turns out, one night will never be enough for Scarlett and Bull. Despite their insane chemistry, Scarlett and Bull go their separate ways. Bull thinks Scarlett was only there for a short visit, so surely it wasn't meant to be if she wasn't sticking around? But little does he know that Scarlett decides to stay in Vermont. For the first time in a long while, the place finally feels a little bit like home. And when their paths cross again, Scarlett realizes something else...she's pregnant. But is it her soon to be ex-husband's or Bull's? Turns out, it doesn't matter. Bull wants to be there for Scarlett and the baby. No matter what. As the two of them navigate what is surely a very complicated relationship, they start to fall in love. And with that love comes the fear of their past experiences. Bull thought he was in love before, but those times he was close to marriage, they fell apart. And Scarlett is just exiting a bad marriage, is rushing into another relationship the best idea? I loved reading their story. The banter between the two are hilarious. And you are cheering for them to take a leap of faith and admit their feelings. Another great addition to the World of True North. Dunbar introduces some great characters and brings back the familiar faces at the Busy Bean. Great story!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
