Posted November 10, 2013 by Cocktails and Books in / 0 Comments

promise me cowboySage Carrigan never meant to be the other woman. Unfortunately, bronco rider Dawson O’Dell neglected to mention he was married the night he invited her to his bed after they’d both placed first in their rodeo events. When his wife walked in on them – Sage was deeply hurt and humiliated.

After an accident in the ring the next day, Sage decides she’s quitting the rodeo–and cowboys—to become a chocolatier in her hometown ranching community, Marietta, Montana.

She’s doing just fine, but then Dawson shows up —five years later, with a little girl in tow. He’s here for the Copper Mountain Rodeo hoping to win big. But he’s also got plans of settling down with his daughter and buying a house—the very same one that Sage has been dreaming about.

He says he’s here for her and he’s making lots of promises. But can he keep them?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Chocolate and a hot cowboy, how could you possibly go wrong? Easy… you can’t.

Rodeo cowboy, Dawson and chocolate shop owner, Sage have a history. A history that Dawson would like to make the beginning of a future with Sage and one she on the other hand would like to pretend never happened.

I am completely at ease reading books in the many different levels of erotic romance. At a time when erotica and sex seems to be the focal point in most romances, it was a pleasant surprise that it was a secondary issue here. Yes the characters had shared a rudely interrupted night of passion five years ago. However, in the present the most they do is kiss and a lot of heavy breathing. The lack of intimate scenes did not detract from the story. If anything in my opinion it would have been detrimental to the character development and the natural progression of the characters feelings from anger to love.

Promise Me, Cowboy was a great read that I would gladly recommend to anyone who loves hot cowboys with big hearts who know what they want and strong willed women who don’t just fall for a roguish smile and a set of six pack abs, but will make him work for the right to call himself her man.
