Publisher's summary

The first book in the Cowboy Fairytales series.

A princess on the run finds sanctuary where she least expects it....

After nearly dying in an assassination attempt, Princess Alessandra of Glorvaird escapes to a place no one would ever think to look for her: small town Oklahoma and a ranch staffed by a herd of wooly, uncouth cowboys. One cowboy in particular gets under her skin, until she sees his softer side. She knows this interlude can't last forever, but that doesn't stop her from wishing it might.

Former Navy SEAL Gideon Hale might've rescued the princess from freezing to death, but the soldier doesn't trust easily - or at all - especially when his gut tells him Alessandra is keeping secrets. But as Alessandra begins to fit into his life, he discovers another side to the princess - one that he can't help but like.

When Alessandra's enemies close in, Gideon must fight to save the woman who has become so much more than a princess.

Once Upon a Cowboy is a contemporary western retelling of the Snow White fairytale and is the first book in the Cowboy Fairytales series.

Fun Princess Story

What did you love best about Once Upon a Cowboy?

Don't we all wish we were a princess sometimes? Fun story about what happens if a princess is caught in America without a security guard. I would head west too!

What about Lara Asmundson’s performance did you like?

Lara's performance was excellent. The reading flowed well and did not detract from the story line at all. I am excited to read more in this series.

The Princess finds her Cowboy?

Alessandra is a Princess visiting NYC when her bodyguard dies protecting her. On the run after the assassination attempt, she finds herself in the bed of a pickup truck in the Dallas airport. Gideon is at the airport to pick up his brother, Matt, who is on military leave. When they discover someone has stowed away in their truck, they really don't know what to think.

If you enjoy fairytale retellings, this is a pretty good book. However, I do have some problems with it. First of all, the blurb says that Alessandra winds up in Oklahoma, not Texas. How do you make such a mistake on a blurb? I was dissatisfied with the ending in a lot of ways. I imagine that the story continues in further books, but I felt like I was left hanging in the ending. Way too many things that were brought up throughout the book were never answered.

The narrator did a pretty good job, but as with a lot of female narrators, the men's voices just didn't work for me. If you are looking for a sweet, clean romance, this is enjoyable enough. I was given a copy of this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

Unique Story About a Princess & a Cowboy!

This was a very unique story about a princess on the run for her life and a cowboy! It was different then anything I have read/listened so far. The story was short but very sweet. I would not have thought that a cowboy and a princess would have worked as well as It did.

The narration was well done and brought the story to life.

The characters were well developed for such a short story. It is a great start to a very unique series. The blend of rough and rugged cowboys with sophisticated wealthy princesses is unexpected but delightful. I'm looking forward to the next book in this sweet fairytales series.

**This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion**

A good short story

Any additional comments?

The story was short but I didn't mind. I actually really liked it. The book concentrated on the two main characters and their relationship with each other. They are also not what you expect which they found out as well as the story progressed.
Would recommend to those who love clean romance (just kissing). Looking forward to book 2!

Sweet Read

This is not your usual royal romance story. She is an independent down to earth woman who happens to be a royal. He is an ex military guy who's instincts are to protect. Sparks fly between these two as he tries to protect her from a killer.
