WANTED: Josie Thatcher, Cowboy Catcher

Book 1 in the new Buck Off Ranch series by Kat Addams and it was such a fun start. Loved Josie and Tripp. Josie goes to the ranch looking to meet a cowboy and boy does she ever. The chemistry and attraction between them was intense from the first time they meet. Super fun, quick read that will have you laughing and sighing and wishing that you could find your own cowboy.

"You're a wildflower. Don't forget that." ⁣ Josie is a librarian who is wanting to live out all of the fantasies she experiences while reading her romance books. Her most recent fantasy is wanting to wrangle herself a cowboy so she books herself a trip to Buck Off Ranch in hopes to find herself a cowboy. Josie runs into a mysterious cowboy, Tripp Miller, outside the local library and sets up her adventure of wrangling a cowboy. ⁣ Josie and Tripp's story is filled with classic Kat Addams wit that regular readers will know and love. I struggled with this one as it did not give me the classic Kat Addams feel. I liked Tripp and his old soul western charm but Josie was a little much. I am looking forward to Emma Jean's book to see where the series goes as I am sure there are going to be some fireworks in the next book.

To be a not overly long book, this still packed one helluva story in its pages! I couldn't blame Josie for looking for some adventure, her life doesn't exactly scream excitement. I didn't exactly agree with the cover story she concocted for her trip, but honestly, it wasn't like she wasn't expecting to form any sort of long-term attachments. Until she meets Tripp. Liked the chemistry between them, right up until Josie wanted to visit the Narrows and Tripp's reaction to her request changed the entire tone of their short-lived psuedo-relationship. Once the story came out about why Tripp's lived his life the way he does, it all made sense why he reacted the way he did.
