Synopsis (Goodreads):
Pregnant at forty-two? Back the cow up...Thoughts on Cowboy: Ahh, yessss. A one night stand between two people desperate for a connection turns into something a little more permanent and I AM SO HERE FOR THIS. Bull was a serious sweetheart burdened with some lingering trust issues and Scarlett was trying to find herself again after finding out her soon-to-be ex cheated on her. They were just...sweet together. So sweet. Parenting partners and everything.
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.
Not that everything was easy. These two had a few roadbumps along the way. After his run of bad luck with engagements (and women in general, I guess), Bull is very careful not to put a label on them as a couple. They might be having a baby together, but that doesn't mean they're together. Or there are plans to get married. Because engagements and him don't mix. And guess what? Not communicating with the lady a person is falling for has the potential for disaster all over it.
On her end, Scarlett is...I guess she's trying to make sure she's not a burden. Moving in with Bull made sense, but she also didn't want to overstay her welcome. And as much as Bull said she wasn't imposing, Scarlett still sort of felt like she was.
Secrets, a misstep or two along the way, sexy times, a baby bump, and sass. *thumbs up*
