She’s fresh out of jail . . . He’s fresh out of luck.

Spoiled billionaire heiress Emery Brighton indulges in one mimosa too many, attempts to steal a horse, and winds up in jail. A sentence of community service leaves her at the mercy of strangers on a remote ranch near a small town in Oregon. Adjusting to country life is hard enough, but she has no idea how to handle her growing affection for a surly cowboy and his adorable daughter.

Steady and dependable as the day is long, rancher Hudson Cole just wants to raise his little girl and be left alone. When his grandmother invites a lawbreaker dressed in Louis Vuitton to Summer Creek Ranch, Hud is convinced Grammy has lost her ever-loving mind. Determined to detest Emery, he instead finds himself doing the one thing he vowed would never happen again: falling in love.

With one foot out the door, will love be enough to convince Emery to stay?

This sweet romance offers a funny, delightful happily ever after adventure in a quirky small town. One-click to read about a meandering goat named Ethel, meddling matchmakers, and a community that feels like home in a story filled with heart, humor, and hope.

Catching the Cowboy by Shanna Hatfield is a story of personal growth, finding love, and deciding what is important in life.

Will Emery survive this exile? Or will she wind up Catching the Cowboy of her recent dreams?

Emery Magnolia Brighton

Emery is our main character. She is a spoiled rich girl who doesn’t know anything about taking care of herself, although she is intelligent as she has a couple of college degrees, including an MBA. At first, it’s like whoa, this girl is so full of herself. But then after everything her so-called friends post about her on social media, I felt sort of sorry for her. I think that what her dad and uncle did to her was heartfelt and that they had her best interest at heart.

Emery struggles without her designer clothes and money, but she figures it out over time. You can see her grow as an individual. Emery’s confidence starts to come back but without that snotty hooty totty air that she had before. It is delightful to watch how Emery grows and how she chooses what is important to her. I think she is a fabulous character and that she is going to help bring Summer Creek back to life.

Hudson Cole

Hudson is in charge of Emery’s community service and her. He judges Emery on her looks the first day, but he is respectful and protective. Hud (as most people call him) has his hands full running his ranch and helping his sister with her ranch. You can see how loving he is by his interactions with his Gram and daughter. However, I love the way he is with his sister. They have such great rapport, and the way that Jossy picks on Hud is hilarious. Hud takes most things in stride, but he has been hurt before and doesn’t want to be again.

I like Hud and the way that he is there for his family. You can tell how much they mean to him. He works hard and still finds time to spend with his daughter Crickett. I admired his dedication. Oh, and he is a romantic at heart.

Five Stars

This book is the first that I have read by Shanna Hatfield, but I truly enjoyed it. She has a way of bringing everything to life. I could see the whole ranch and town in my head. Oh, and the ending is perfect. I also like how the author shares her inspiration for the story at the back of the book. This story is such a sweet romance that I am giving Catching the Cowboy by Shanna Hatfield five stars. I am recommending it to all of you, sweet romance readers out there.

The book includes a Reader’s Guide, perfect for book club discussions.

For a limited time, the ebook is available at the discounted price of just $1.99.
