A Sunny Sweetheart for the Cowboy: a grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity Montana Ranches Christian Romance (Sweet River Ranch Romance Book 3)

Author: Valerie Comer

He's grouchy through blessings. She's happy through turmoil. What now?
Weston Kline might know horses, but being the stable manager is not a plum position like his newfound cousins have on the ranch resort their grandfather is revitalizing to meld Weston and his brother into the Sullivan clan. Unsure of where he fits, Weston hides behind an aloof nature.

Paisley Teele is the ranch’s activity coordinator, and she’s not about to let rude, surly Weston withdraw. When they’re thrown together on a two-night trail ride with a group of tweens, she’s determined to get a genuine smile on that cowboy’s face, one way or another.

Neither planned to fall in love, but the attraction sizzles before it fizzles. No grumpy cowboy wants to be coaxed into fake happiness, and this ray of sunshine might be losing her grip in the light of her family situation. Trusting the source of true joy may take an act of God for them both.

About the Sweet River Ranch Romance series:

Walter Sullivan is frustrated with the soft lives his entitled sons and grandsons lead. Yes, it’s because he’s given them an education and money, but now he’s just frustrated with the namby-pamby city kids. Working together to revive a failing guest ranch in Montana will give those young men a chance to prove their worth. And if they settle into the cowboy life and find romance in the bargain, it will be well worth the risk.

My thoughts: A Sunny Sweetheart for the Cowboy is a sweet romance with a what seems like an impossible match. She is usually happy, talkative, bouncy, and can't stand to see anybody unhappy. He is moody, grumpy, and doesn't talk much. But then things change. While paired together on overnight camping trip with a bunch of homeschooled kids he finds his footing. The tables are turned and they are both forced out of their comfort zones as they deal with difficulties they never imagined.  The book includes a strong faith message which I  enjoyed. I am a verified buyer and no review was required.
