The Cowboy Way

review 1: Series: Cowboy Way #1Category /Genre: Contemporary romanceReceived from: Amazon purchaseRecommended for: 18+ due to sexual contentGrammar/editing: A – near perfectThis is the first book in the Cowboy Way series. They do need to be read in order. This is considered to be a spinoff from the novella Hope for Christmas in the Santa Wore Spurs anthology.In order to buy a house and provide for her sister and niece, Tina needs to get a promotion. To get the promotion, she needs the right model for the new line of western wear she has championed at work. Enter Dean Dixon, rancher. His sister-in-law is the photographer, his brother was a model, but Dean wants nothing to do with the fashion world. Mr. Grumpy Pants would rather the bunch of them just clear off his ranch,... more but he knows the family needs the money being offered for the use of the land.I loved the characters. I loved the story. I loved that these were down-to-earth, living a real life people instead of everyone being a millionaire. Dean’s tantrums were a little over-the-top for a macho, alpha cowboy, but somewhat understandable in light of his history. I was up until 3am because I just had to know how everything was resolved.This is the first book that I have read from Ms. McGraw. Unfortunately, most of the way through the book, I felt as though I had missed a whole other part to the story. I believe I would have been less lost had I read the short HOPE FOR CHRISTMAS about Dean’s brother Cord and his wife, Hope. Other than that, I thought this was an exceptionally well-written cowboy romance and I do want to read more from Ms. McGraw.
review 2: Dean Dixon is a prickly hard to approach cowboy with ruggedly good looks. Tina Montgomery is a dynamite personality packed into a tiny womanly body. Their first meeting is a clash of tempers and temptation and they only heat up from there. Dean is overworked and stressed. He can't seem to say the right thing or find the kind of money his ranch needs to keep running. He would rather be shot than model for the tiny temptress but financially he is between a rock and a hard place. So he reluctantly agrees to be her model in hopes that he could save his family home and protect it for his son.Tina might be short but she packs a lot of feisty into her small frame. She has found herself the sole provider for her niece Laney, thanks to a cowboy crazy sister, and she finds herself dependent on her job and her idea for the perfect campaign for a line of men's clothing. Every male model she looks at comes across too polished and not rugged enough. She has an idea in her mind and nothing short of perfect will do. Her friend Hope invites her down to her husbands ranch and she finds everything she imagined when she pictured her cowboy. He was perfect until he opened his mouth. Their first meeting was a mixture of anger and desire and both are determined to avoid the other. Eventually they get past their anger and get to the smoking hot sex. They spend an evening together and use a roll of condoms but even that tension relief isn't enough for Mr. Cranky Pants. He finds himself seeing her again and again and with every meeting his need for her takes over.Becky McGraw has written a well rounded romance. This book is full of tension, chemistry, familial love and devotion. This book captures and keeps the readers attention as Tina and Dean tackle their growing relationship and family matters. They push each others buttons and enjoy pissing each other off. But their is just something about the other person that keeps them trying even when it would be so much easier to give up. This book shows the reader a great family love and it drives the story forward. Both characters are devoted to their family and trying to do whatever they can for their children. This book leaves you smiling and not hung over. This book is the type of romance that leaves you with a glow and a hope for your own life. And the fact that the male character is a sexy cowboy with a dirty mouth and a bit of a temper? Well who wouldn't want to spend a little while in his world? less
