A Real Cowboy Always Protects {a review}

A Real Cowboy Always Protects is the 8th book in the Wyoming Rebels series by Stephanie Rowe. In this book we get to witness Logan Stockton and Skylar Jones fake an engagement, temporarily move to Wyoming, and ultimately fall in love.

Logan and Skylar have been neighbors for about two years now. On this night, they bump into each other in the elevator. Skylar is off to the store across the street for a cup of coffee, and Logan just finished working out at the onsite gym. They begin chatting, and as per usual, Skylar is just drawn to Logan. When Skylar returns to the building, there are two men waiting for the elevator. They hop in with her, and get off at her floor. She doesn't know it yet, but these men are here for Logan, and if they have their way he won't be coming out alive. Skylar knocks on Logan's door, attempts to use some spy lingo, and Logan catches on. Next thing you know, Skylar is locked in Logan's office and hiding under his desk, all while he handles things in the hallway. It is shortly after this point that we find out Skylar and Logan are headed to Wyoming, as Skylar needs to hide out from this assassin.

There is so much that I loved about this book! From the Stockton family, to their friends, to Logan going into protector mode, how Skylar's Mom ended up on the property, the big showdown, the love story, and ultimately the surprise, for the teenager, at the end. My heart soared with that one. Okay fine, a few tears were shed as well. I will say that at the beginning of the book it said this was a slow-burn, but honestly I didn't get that at all. If anything it felt like once they arrived at the ranch, things built rapidly.

This was my first read in the Wyoming Rebels series, and now I really want to go back and read the first seven books. This group just seems amazing. They've overcome so much, and you can just feel the sense of community.

If you are a fan of neighbors to lovers, small town romance, fake engagements, and/or romantic suspense, then go read this book. I think you'll like it. I know I did.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,

A Real Cowboy Always Protects by Stephanie Rowe is now live!

Is it really a second chance at love if a grumpy, sexy cowboy proposes marriage only to protect you from being killed by a CIA assassin?

Burned by love, CIA agent Logan Stockton left his Wyoming cowboy roots behind long ago, and he has no intention of returning to the small town that holds his darkest secrets. But when his latest mission puts a target on his sassy, sexy neighbor, Logan will do whatever it takes to keep her safe....including taking her back to Wyoming as his fake fiancée to hide out.

Skylar Jones is stuck in a rut, and even her elderly neighbor believes Skylar is going to end up a crazy cat lady if she doesn't get over her ex and start dating soon. But there's only one man Skylar notices these days, and he's unavailable, cranky, and no more interested in dating than she is.

But apparently, the sexy hunk of cowboy love IS interested in saving her from a professional assassin, so, he has that going for him.

Sparks fly hot and fast when Logan moves in with Skylar to protect her. But can they stay alive long enough to find love, especially when his matchmaking family has plans for the two workaholics who are afraid to trust again?
