I went to an auction to buy a racehorse and left with a wife.

Cameron: I celebrated a little too much after I purchased a racehorse favored to win the Kentucky Derby. I let down my guard and the next thing I know, I woke up beside the daughter of the man my father hates.

Married.

I should divorce her immediately, only she knows everything about the horse racing world and I know, well, nothing. We also made quite a scene at the auction and everyone thinks we're in love.

We agree to stay married until the season is over.

But pretending to be in love is a lot of fun as we start winning races and give into all kinds of temptations.

Now the season is over. She's having my baby. And there's no way I'm letting her go.

The Cowboy’s Accidental Wife is part of the Wild Texas Heart Cowboy Series but can be listened to as a standalone. No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA Guaranteed.

Saddle up for a story that is full of wild hearts, but even wilder nights, racing action, and passion.
This is the third installment in the “Wild Hearts of Texas” series and I have not read the others yet. But from this one alone, I’m eager to do so and continue. All the characters are connected, but I feel these could just as easily be stand alone too,
Our story begins with Cam, the heir to a ranch dynasty who has to return to take care of things when his father gets terribly ill. His buddy and dad’s horse trainer tells him a horse his dad wanted, Blue Lake, is suddenly up for auction. He goes there and sees Lake, the daughter of his family’s rivals, The Sutherlands. But his thoughts aren’t on the prized horse, but the beautiful woman with the blue wavy hair, dazzling smile, and dress that is making this good Texas boy want to become wild.
And so they do…with too many cinnamony black-eyed Susan drinks.
And now they woke up married.
Oops.
Or is it…fate?
I adored how it depicted the world of horse racing. Blue Lake was lovely and I cared for him as much as Cam and Lake. The characters were all charming and kept your interest. The interactions between Cam and Lake were cute or steamy in all the right ways, with some decent tension too. I loved their moments with his niece Chloe too.
Lake had a good head on her shoulders and I am glad she finally got a chance to shine doing the job she loved, a chance her family never gave her. And Cam tried so hard to be a good ole’ Southern boy; it’s hard not to like him.
This book I felt also dove well into what it’s like to go through the varying waves of emotions of if you feel you’re disappointing a parent or your family. I can’t say it is fully resolved, but having characters go through something that affects many deep down is uplifting in its own right.
There were a few good little twists too. And the ending! Ah!
Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas both had excellent Southern drawls and excelled at an array of voices and intonations. They made the story gallop forward to be a winner with their performances.

I'm loving this series by Deborah Garland, these cowboys are the freaking sweetest and hottest and I'm obsessed with every last one of them. I think my favorite part is how low angst they are, there is some tension there and will he do the right thing? but they always do and it's without hesitation, making me swoon.

I know nothing about horses outside of what I learned in my one year of 4H twenty-five years ago, but it felt like Deborah knew what she was talking about which was really nice. It feels like she probably grew up around horses and cowboys and that's why she decided to write about them. I loved the story surrounding Blue Lake here, it was really well done and interesting to read.

Cam and Lake were super sweet together, I adored their romance and honestly just wanted more, more, more. I wouldn't have minded another 100 pages to really get more into some one on one moments with them, and not just the spicy ones, although I wouldn't complain about more of those either.

Gregory Salinas and Lexi Evans are two of my favorites and they did so well here, I loved listening to this book. I'm so excited to see what's next for Wild Texas Hearts.

This one was a wild ride that I couldn’t stop listening to! Cam and Lake grew up on neighboring ranches with father’s that were enemies. When Cam is forced into filling in for his dad at the ranch him and Lake cross paths at a horse auction. When one night they can’t remember seems to have changed everything. It may have been a drunken mistake or it could have been alcohol reducing inhibitions and letting them get out of their way. Cam and Lake have a lot of obstacles and things they have to work through to get to their HEA but it’s so worth it! I loved that Jamie and Chole were able to be there to support Cam as he had been such a support system for them. I love when characters you get attached to in one book make appearances and you get updates in the series. If you’re a horse fan or horse racing fan I think you’ll enjoy how much these characters love their horses and the bond they share. Between the narration and storyline I could not stop listening!

A Wild Ride!

The Cowboy’s Accidental Wife is book #2 in the Wild Texas Hearts series. It’s a cowboy, accidental pregnancy romance.

Cam and Lake’s book had great world building. The chemistry was so good and I loved watching their connection grow as the story went on. Just the right amount of drama, steam and sweet moments.

Gregory Salinas and Lexi Evans did a really nice job bringing this world to life.

Really good

A heartbreaker that breathes fire and warms the soul. Garland pushes emotions outside of their comfort zone with Cameron and Lake. The Cowboy's Accidental Wife breaks the rules of love in order to find it's happily every after. From the unpredictable to the irresistible, Salinas and Evans master not just the senses, but the heart as well.

The Cowboy's Accidental Wife is the 3rd book in the Wild Texas Hearts series. This book is about Cameron and Lake is told from both of their points of view.

Cameron and Lake are part of rival families. Lake's family is selling a derby horse, and Cameron shows up to place a bid. He ends up drunk, and ends up with the horse and a marriage to Lake.

Now, they have to figure out what to do with their marriage, and dueling families. Will they stay married as time goes on? Or will they decide the marriage isn't for them.

This book is my favorite so far in this series. I can not wait for the next book, after the epilogue and seeing a sneak into what happens in the next book.

Deborah Garland has delivered another highly entertaining romance with her trademark roller coaster emotions and well-researched settings. I love all the accurate details of the horse racing industry and what racing managers do. Cam (the guy) and Lakeland (the lady) were immediately likeable, and I rooted for their HEA. Cam is respectful, sexy, and generally reliable. Lakeland is intelligent, spunky, and really knows about horse racing management. Cam and Lakeland communicate well with each other. The bedroom scenes are moderately steamy and not too frequent. There are some laughs along with the mild to moderate angst and drama in this contemporary romance.

Once I started this novel I just couldn't stop listening. The tropes are billionaire guy, Texas cowboys, drunk quickie marriage, temporary memory loss, and problem parents. I enjoyed this one so much that I am going back to buy the first audiobook in this Wild Texas Hearts series. If you like fun and emotional contemporary romances, I recommend this one. Also, if you loved Deborah Garland’s Forever Mine series, then you’ll love this one too.

Excellent narration, but they talk a bit slowly, so I thought listening at 1.2x speed was perfect. Very good southern accents that might be accurate Texas accents. Both narrators were very good at men’s and women’s voices, although their voices for Lakeland didn’t match very well.

I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions

This is a stand-alone book but I am glad that I listened to the first book before this one so I got to know the characters better before listening to this book.  Cameron was Jamie’s manager but is now managing the ranch since his father is in the hospital.  He is working with the race horses and wound up getting drunk and marrying Lake, who is the daughter of the enemy’s family. Lake. Lake had a crush on Cameron since she was a kid and Cameron is very attracted to Lake, but because of his past and family, he has always avoided relationships.  They work well together and I enjoyed their journey and relationship to their HEA.   This story has some suspense, action, spice and also some healing from their past that they needed.  I loved that we got to have Jamie, Harper and Chloe back in this story too and got to catch up with them and the new baby!  The narrators did a great job with all the emotions and really brought the story to life.  I really loved this story and would definitely recommend it!

This is book 3 in Garland's Wild Texas Hearts series. This can be read / listened to as a standalone but there are cameo characters from previous books in the series so just be aware. This book focus' on Cameron and Lake's journey. Cameron is stepping into a role he thought would never be his as his father struggles for his life in the hospital. Lake is struggling to be seen in a male dominated world in a family who is on the brink of ruin. While Cameron and Lake don't really know each other their said families are not on friendly terms even though they are neighbors...One drunken night changes everything for these two and the book focus' on how one accidental night was so much more than an accident, it could very well be fate!

A well written and beautifully dual narrated romance read with great ups and downs and twist and turns. Some communication issues and of course cause it's Texas - everything is bigger, if not better (wink). Great balance of sweet and steam and the perfect HEA that seems just out of reach until Garland weaves it all together. I loved this read / listen and I can't wait for more in this series!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.
