Capturing the Cowboy

A Steamy BBW Romance (Copper Valley Ranch)

By: Julianna Foxe

Narrated by: Ginger Walton

A cowboy. A city girl. Two different worlds.

It's not just the sun creating heat in the Arizona desert.

Cassie made a deal with her parents that if she could not make a decent living as a photographer within a few years, she would give up her dream and go to law school. The deadline is looming, but she has a plan to buy more time with another book and perhaps a gallery show of her work. What better location for some unique shots than an abandoned mining town in Arizona? While she’s not the type that goes looking for a hook-up, her best friend told her to wrangle a gorgeous cowboy while she was out there. How can she resist a sexy ranch owner who fits the bill?

Jake Wilder is busy trying to make his ranch a success to honor his grandfather’s legacy. He doesn’t have time for romance. Then Cassie shows up with her trusty camera and luscious curves, and he can’t seem to keep his hands off of her. The problem is she’s only there for a few days, and Jake isn’t a one-week-stand kind of guy. He wants forever.

Their passion burns hotter than the desert sun. Are they destined for a short fling, or are they meant to be more?

A happy steamy story about a country boy and a city girl.

I enjoyed listening to this fun love story. Cassie and Jake’s chemistry and out-of-their-element attraction kept me engaged all the way through. The characters are interesting and the over-protective parents were head-shakingly fun.
Timing issue resolved at speed 1.3.

Not for me - It was a DNF

I did not finish this one. The story seemed to have more tell than show - but it was hard to discern specifically because of the narrator. It was rather "wooden", or stilted, and I could not get around it. I am a huge fan of cowboys so thought this would be right up my alley.
