I really enjoyed Ashni and Beck’s story in The Cowboy Says I Do by Sinclair Jayne, book one in her Montana Rodeo Brides series. This heartbreaking, but beautiful romance story took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Ashni Singh and Beck Ballantyne have been together over thirteen years, since high school; with Ashni putting many of her dreams on hole to follow Beck around the country as he competed in rodeos. A misunderstanding is the impetus that pushes Ashni to break up with Beck, decide she’s ready to put down roots and build her own career. Learning she’s unexpectedly expecting has her determined to make a new life. It was difficult to read about how these two, who were so in love with each other, were hurting so badly; yet it was enlightening to their relationship through Ashni’s eyes. For Beck, since returning home to Marietta, Montana, nothing has gone right. His granddad, supported by his three determined daughters, announces he plans to sell his legacy ranch after the rodeo. Beck is lost and confused. It doesn’t help when his fun-loving, never take anything seriously, cousins create the Rodeo Bride Game; even knowing that Beck has the advantage with Ashni; except she just called it quit. What’s a guy to do except fight for what he wants; and he wants Ashni, as his wife. This story is a reminder of the importance of communication in any relationship. I loved how Beck never gave up and fought for Ashni; and how he was excited about their unexpected news. I had to laugh at the antics the cousins went to trying to win their competitions; even escorting a couple of ladies during the week. The Rodeo Bride Game may have started as a fun challenge, but Beck has never been more serious about winning Ash’s heart and her hand. There is so much to love about this story. Ms. Jayne wrote a wonderfully sweet story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Ashni and Beck a chance at a future together. I highly recommend The Cowboy Says I Do to other readers and can’t wait for the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Sinclair Jayne’s The Cowboy Says I Do, in her new series, Montana Rodeo Brides sets the stage for a competition between cousins that’ll prove to be as entertaining as it is captivating…in this first book the bar is set pretty high with tension, secrets, strife, family drama, rodeo action, and of course romance…all this splendidness makes for one heck of a absorbing read. It’s pretty near impossible to not develop an emotional attachment to Beck and Ashni, with their long dating history you’d think their journey would be a smooth one, but with the challenges they’ve created for themselves, and each other, their road to their HEA contains a few rough patches. Even after all their time together, it’s endearing to witness their lightbulb moments and growth. This was definitely a book that was easy to loose myself in, I’m looking forward to what’s in store for Bowen and Bodhi. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
