About the book:
Counting on a Cowboy (Thomas Nelson, August 2015)

After losing everything she held dear, Abby never wants to love again. But a certain cowboy may just spur her to wonder if love might be worth the risk.

Running from a past that haunts her, Abby Knightly is drawn to the cozy town of Wishing Springs, Texas. Maybe this small town could offer hope and healing and a future for Abby . . . if she’s brave enough to reach out and take it by the reins.

Bo Monahan isn’t interested in the new romantic destination his little town has become—or the women who might be looking at him like he’s their next Mr. Right. Between taking care of his Pops and his growing stirrup business, he isn’t looking for serious romantic commitments. But when the infant son he never knew about shows up at his doorstep, his world is turned upside down.

This confirmed bachelor might not think he needs a wife, but he sure needs help. Even Abby can see that, and despite her best efforts to keep her distance, she can’t help but be drawn to this new father-son duo. As Abby throws herself into helping Bo navigate fatherhood, hope sparks between them, revealing that maybe, just maybe, they can navigate their dark pasts and emerge together into a future as bright as the Texas sun itself.

My thoughts:

 

I hadn’t read any of Debra Clopton’s work until I picked up the first book in this series.  I have since fallen in love with the Monahan brothers and the women who can tame them.  Oh and grandpa. I really love grandpa.

 

In this book we take a closer look at Bo and learn about him.  We also meet Abby who is looking to get away from her conscience and an accident that she blames herself for.  Can she get over her past so that she has a future?  Can Bo overcome the present that gets thrust on him?  Such a great book!

 

I have to say that Grandpa has been and probably always will be the highlight of these books  to me!  I work in a nursing home with residents just like Grandpa and I love seeing them get some recognition.  Caring for someone like this takes a vast amount of patience and love and the Monahan brothers possess this!

 

I hope you’ll take the time to read not only this book but the others in the series as well.  They’re great reads.  They read quickly and keep you entertained as it goes along.
