My Review:
After reading the first three books from Karen Baney's Vargas Ranch series I wanted to have the opportunity to continue reading with the fourth addition, Falling for a Smart Cowboy. Even though this is a series, they each can easily be read as a stand alone. I loved getting to know Devon and Raina. I thought they had great chemistry and it was fun watching the two interact with one another. It was a delight getting to know the duo.
I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version of Falling for a Smart 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 had a hard time when life got in the way and I had to press pause. I wanted to continue to listen. I looked forward to every chance I was able to press play again.
I am giving Falling for a Smart Cowboy a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read clean and sweet romances. I can not wait for the next installment from the Vargas Ranch series, Falling for a Humbug Cowboy to see what the talented Karen Baney has in store for her fans.
I received a audio version of Karen Baney's Falling for a Smart Cowboy from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Great review, thank you for sharing.
