Book Review: Courage for the Cowboy (Whispering Oaks Ranch #2) by Hannah Jo Abbott

About the Book:

He believes people always leave. Will she be the one to stay?

Jenson Macklin loves working with horses and keeping his family laughing. It’s easier to bury the pain of his past by working hard and cracking jokes. But when he is saddled with a niece and nephew he didn’t know he had, everything changes.

When Sierra Carter gets the chance to run her own training program at Whispering Oaks Ranch, it’s a dream come true. Even better when she meets the handsome cowboy who makes her weak in the knees. Except he’s got a family to worry about, and she’s used to flying solo.

Jenson enjoys working with Sierra, but he’s not ready to let someone in. He needs to protect his new charges—and his heart.

When it comes down to taking a chance or losing her altogether, will Jenson have the courage to say yes to the future?

Courage with The Cowboy is book two in the Whispering Oaks Ranch series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but would best be enjoyed in order.

My Review:

Courage for the Cowboy by Hannah Jo Abbott
Pages: 191
Published: April 26, 2022
Series: Whispering Oaks Ranch

I enjoyed Sawyer and Katie’s story, but even in that book I was curious to know more about a couple of the brothers, Jensen being one. From the start I was intrigued by his character, but admit Sierra’s ‘little miss independent’ streak was a little off-putting at first for me. Thankfully, I did end up getting used to it and she grew on my as the story goes on and we get to know her a little more, but it did take a bit of convincing.

I really enjoyed this story though. Like in the first one, it’s a fairly quick read and offers a good amount of romance, faith, and a bit of drama to push the characters a little, but nothing overly done. It was a good read, and made for a fun follow-up to the first story, as we get to see a little more about the past and a slightly different perspective of the Macklin family.

I enjoyed this sweet and clean romance, and look forward to reading more of this series soon.
