Cowboy Tough

By: Joanne Kennedy

Narrated by: Karyn O'Bryant

When Cat Crandall ditches her career in advertising to take a job teaching painting workshops in exotic locations, she's hoping to be sent to Tuscany or maybe France. Instead, she's assigned to lead a group of aspiring artists through the backcountry of the isolated Boyd Dude Ranch in Wyoming.

Mack Boyd is in the middle of the best bronc-riding season of his life when his mother asks him to help lead an artists' retreat at the ranch. Mack might be able to ride a wild stallion to a standstill, but he can't say no to his family. It doesn't take long for Mack to figure out that artists are a lot harder to herd than cattle-especially when they're led by a spitfire of a city girl who doesn't like to be bossed around. Cat Crandall is nothing but trouble-so why is he so drawn to her?

Critic reviews

"Kennedy's latest contemporary romance packs a powerful, emotional punch, and when it comes to capturing the appeal and feel of the West and it's people, nobody does it better." ( Booklist)

Sweet story

This is a sweet story and I enjoyed listening. I will buy more from this author.

The narration was a little off...

I love this book and the story, the descriptions, everything about it when I was reading it but when I was listening to it on audible I can hardly make myself listen just a little too much drama from the narrator and slow speaking.... I think she was trying very hard to Annunciate well but it just came off as stilted and painful to listen to

Very Slow

The story was well written and I enjoyed all the detail. About 15 chapters into the book I kept getting irritated that nothing was happening and continue to wonder, why am I still listening?? Maybe it’s just me, it was just missing something. I am currently on chapter 35 of 48 after skipping the last 2 chapters I don't think I will be able to finish it. I believe that it is a good book just not for me.
