The Cowboy Next Door

A This Old House Novella

By: Roxanne Snopek

Narrated by: Felicity Munroe

When plucky single mother Leda Plett goes next door to retrieve her wandering pooch, she doesn’t expect to find a handsome stranger lounging about like he owns the place. She certainly doesn’t expect him to go all "white knight" about her deadbeat ex or her knees to go all wobbly at his sexy smile.

Rodeo-star-turned-agent Eric Anders is used to managing people, and clearly the boots-and-sundress-wearing mouthy mama needs someone to manage her. He wants to help; her spirited spark and quick wit have nothing to do with it.

But when Eric’s good intentions end up bringing only hurt and humiliation, he’s forced to face the fact that he doesn’t always know best. Leda is stronger and wiser than he knew, and his arrogance may have just cost him the one girl he now can’t live without.

Good, fairly clean

A love at first sight type of romance. The book is interesting enough to keep your attention but not special enough to be remembered. Personally, I didn't like the FMC, it felt like the author was trying to hard toake us feel sorry for her rather than respect her but it doesn't completely negate the positives of the cute underdog take all story.

I thought it was great.

I love this series, Just wish there was more and longer. Found myself laughing and smiling a lot.

Knew I’d Get into it Eventually

I had a hard time getting into this book initially because of Leda’s personality and behavior … but of course it worked itself out and she started to act more like an adult than a spoiled brat.

Sweet love story

Wonderful story when good things happen to those who have been treated badly. A funny, cute love story.

Stubbornness

Leda and Eric are both strong willed and headstrong. Determined to get their way. This story is sweet and clean as they both decide what they can’t live without. The narrator does a good job.
