REVIEW - Wicked Cowboy Charm (Lucky Penny Ranch #4) by Carolyn Brown


The Book
Release Date: 31 Jan 2017
Goodreads Link

REAL TEXAS COWBOYS DON'T KISS & TELL Josie Dawson is new in town, but it doesn't take a local to know that Deke Sullivan is trouble--in a smokin' hot package. He's sweet, sexy, and has charmed just about every woman in Dry Creek, Texas. Well, Josie won't be next. She'll keep her distance, even if he is great with babies and makes a mean cup of homemade hot chocolate. 
Deke Sullivan really is a one-woman type of guy. He just had to do a lot of looking to find that one woman. Now he thinks he's found her and he won't let a strong, sassy gal like Josie slip away. Just when he's wondering how to convince her he only has eyes for her, they get stranded in a tiny cabin during a major blizzard. If Deke can melt her heart before they dig out of the snow, he'll be the luckiest cowboy in Texas . . .

My Review     3.5 STARS
**My thanks to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing), for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book takes place in Dry creak, a place we have visited before, but this book between Deke and Josie Dawson is a slower book in places and, sometimes, moves too fast.

When Josie and Deke travel to Montana separately for Bull auctions, Josie finds hers cancelled because of the weather so travels a little further up to where Deke is for the auction that is there.  Once there they both find that the weather has closed in on them and the snow forces them to stay with the lonely man and in his small bunkhouse in very close quarters.

Nothing but friendship happens while they are there, but after a weeks they get on the road to get home together and they have to get ahead of the storm that is behind them.

The attraction between them however cannot be denied and they find out the chemistry is hot between them.  But back home, Josie is not sure if the heat between them can last as Deke has always been a playboy with girls falling at his feet.  But Deke has other plans, he is not the type to cheat and he has decided to throw his single life in for the first time and has fallen hard for Josie, so plans to romance her and the boys moves fast for what he wants.

It doesn't help that he is a nice, strong man, focused and staying true to himself and what he wants.  Josie does not stand a chance against her feelings or Deke playing right into her heart.

A decent book, but just not as good as some of her other books.
