A Cowboy for Keeps

Colorado Cowboys, Book 1

By: Jody Hedlund

Narrated by: Susan Hanfield

Greta Nilsson's trip west to save her ailing little sister, Astrid, could not have gone more wrong. First, bandits hold up her stagecoach, stealing all her money. Then, upon arriving in Fairplay, Colorado, she learns the man she was betrothed to as a mail-order bride has died. Homeless, penniless, and jobless, Greta and her sister are worse off than when they started.

Wyatt McQuaid is struggling to get his new ranch up and running and is in town to purchase cattle when the mayor proposes the most unlikely of bargains. He'll invest in a herd of cattle for Wyatt's ranch if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying and starting a family. And the mayor, who has promised to try to help Greta, has just the candidate in mind for Wyatt to marry.

Sacrifice!

This was my first book by the author and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read/listen to more. The storyline and characters were very engaging. To sacrifice your own needs for anthers and do what was best based on their needs was very inspiring and caused me to question how far would I go could I sacrifice so much of myself.

It was a great listen

I really enjoyed the storyline I loved the plot twist towards the end. I look forward to listening the rest of the series! 🥰

All round a good read

I love this book and storyline! No vulgarity or profanity and just an all round good book. There is romance and adventure and such a good storylines. I am excited to read the next book in the series.

A Wholesome Romance with Heart

Okay, so I really enjoyed this one. It had that wholesome, cozy feel that makes it super easy to just sink into. The narration was a little shaky at the start, but honestly, once it got rolling, it totally worked for me. By the end, I was all in.

What I liked most was how fast it pulled me in. Greta and her sister have the worst luck right out of the gate—you can’t help but feel for them. And then Wyatt comes into the picture, and instead of feeling cheesy or forced, it actually made sense. Their relationship had space to grow, and it felt natural.

The romance was sweet without going over the top, and I loved how the story balanced the tough moments with the hopeful ones. It gave the whole thing a lot of heart. All in all, it was a really good listen and a strong start to the series. I’m already looking forward to the next book.
