Slightly misleading title, in that Bella isnt really a Cowgirl - she grew up on a ranch and is now a domestic animal vet. However, her practise is running on empty money wise and set to close if she doesnt find some revenue fast. Evan is the oldest Mortimer, and about to lose his place at the head of the company business if he doesnt find a wife soon. He always suspects that women date him for his money if nothing else.

Dont think too hard about how the two of them end up on a reality show together, where both have a lot at stake and neither can afford to lose. During the week, even when the cameras are on them, sparks fly and each find that both are damaged in some way - Bella from being blamed for an accident when she was 10, Evan from a needy, controlling mother and a fear of enclosed spaces.

During a week's worth of challenges, where they are permanently being filmed by the crews and the producer is on a knife-edge because of falling ratings, each challenge seems designed to boost ratings and put one or both at a disadvantage. The ever smaller tents put Evan on edge, and it is little alleviated being so close to Beth, whilst having a night camera fixed on them. They still manage to have sex on two of the nights, and Evan tries to use it as a tool to put Bella off the following day's challenges, only for it to backfire on him.

Cass and her sisters have been running off overseers and guardians appointed by their father from their ranch for years. When another overseer has been run off, their father decides to take more of a hand in it and sends in a Navy SEAL with the hope that he can see what is going on and, possibly, marry Cass. What he finds is not what he expected. Can he help the women? Will they let him? Will they run him off?

I enjoyed this book a whole lot! I liked Cass and her sisters. I also enjoyed Brian and his soon-to-be teammates. Cass and Brian are good together once Cass lets down her walls. He shares his past with her, and she shares hers. She also lets him know what has been going on with the ranch for the past year. Action and adventure galore when their plan kind of backfires. I get my HEA and the set up for the next book in the series. This is going to be fun!… (more)
