About this listen

Rodeo producer Cole Jacobs has his hands full running Jacobs Livestock. He can't afford to lose a single cowboy, so when cousin Violet offers to send along a more-than-capable replacement, he's got no choice but to accept. He expects a grizzled Texas good ol' boy.

He gets Shawnee Pickett.

Wild and outspoken, ruthlessly self-reliant, Shawnee's not looking for anything but a good time. It doesn't matter how quickly the tall, dark, and intense cowboy gets under her skin - Cole deserves something real, and Shawnee can't promise him forever. Life's got a way of kicking her in the teeth, and she's got her bags packed before tragedy can knock her down. Too bad Cole's not the type to give up when the going gets tough....

My series favorite

Cole and Shawnee both struggle with health issues and traumatic events in their childhood. Yet they are an unlikely couple. Cole copes through order and routine. Shawnee has a live life to the fullest attitude. They dislike each other. Well, Shawnee enjoys annoying Cole. The story of how they fall in love and find their hea is pure gold. I've read this book twice and the audio version does it justice.

Really loved this one

My 20yr old son has Asperger's... so to have Cole as the leading man❤️❤️❤️. It was a very accurate portrayal of how so many go on to lead normal lives. And that there will be that special someone some day to love you completely- quirks and all. I loved their story.

Tougher in Texas

This book by Kari Lynn Dell was a mind blower! The love story was one that touched your heart. The touchy subject of autism was handled with respect and knowledge on the subject. Thank you!

Another great book by Kari Lynn Dell!

What a great and unique story about a cowboy with autism and the cowgirl who matches him perfectly although no one probably saw it coming. Cole Jacobs is cautious and always has a list. Who knew that would make him the perfect match for Shawnee who is wild but craves structure in her life. The book has great humor and as always Dell weaves the rodeo life into the story in the most authentic portrayal of cowboys and cowgirls you’ll find in the romance novel industry. Can’t wait for the next one. This is the third in the series.
