My Review:
After reading the first book from Karen Baney's Vargas Ranch series, I wanted to have the opportunity to read the second addition,
Falling for a Shy Cowboy. It was great travelling back to the Arizona Ranch and catching up with the characters and getting to know Dylan and Brisa. I loved the scenes with them interacting with one another. I thought they had great chemistry. Their story was one of love, forgiveness, and letting go of the past.
I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version of Falling for a Shy Cowboy. The narration was done in variety of voices, making it unique and different from most audiobooks I have listened to. I thought it was a nice touch and an interesting performance. I did not want to stop it until the last word was read.
I am giving Falling for a Shy Cowboy four and a half stars. I believe readers who enjoy reading clean romance will like it as much as me, if not more. I will be on the look out for the third installment from the Vargas Ranch series, Falling for a Bossy Cowboy, to see what else Karen Baney has in store for her fans and characters. This one is definitely worth reading and not to be missed.
I received a audio version of Karen Baney's Falling for a Shy Cowboy from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to Falling for a Shy Cowboy. I love hearing how you enjoyed the different voices in the narration and that you enjoyed the story. Thanks for sharing it with your followers.
