Love Drunk Cowboy (Spikes & Spurs Book 1) Kindle Edition

It's a battle of the sexes like never before in this delightfully funny, escapist cowboy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Brown!

She's a self-made city girl...

The last thing I expected out of my life was to be saddled with a watermelon farm deep in the Oklahoma countryside. I'm a city girl, through and through, and my stilettos are not meant for farming. The only solution is to sell the place before I'm stuck with a truckload of overripe watermelons, and I'm forced to set up a farm stand on the side of a dirt road. *Shudder.*

But the minute I think I've got a way out, my drop-dead sexy new neighbor Rye O'Donnell shows up. Maybe there's time for a little cowboy love after all...

He's a down-home rancher…

Knowing my former neighbor Granny Lanier's property was going up for sale, I thought I might have a chance at my dream property. But then I met her granddaughter, Austin, and found myself knocked sideways by the sexy-as-hell, savvy businesswoman.

Perhaps it's time to set aside my real estate ambitions and convince this gorgeous city slicker just how much fun a little fling on the farm can be.

Includes a brand-new bonus novella!

Reviewed in Germany on 4 May 2013

Austin Lanier ist eine taffe Geschäftsfrau, die mit gerade 30 Jahren vor einer Beförderung steht auf die sie Jahre lang hart hingearbeitet hat. Doch dann stirbt ihre Großmutter und hinterlässt ihr ihre Farm und ihr lukratives Wassermelonen Wein Geschäft und sie ist gezwungen nach Terral, einem kleinen Ort in Oklahoma zu fahren um sich dort um die Hinterlassenschaft ihrer geliebten Granny zu kümmern. Seit Monaten telefoniert sie mit Rye O'Donnell, dem Nachbarn ihrer Großmutter, der in ihren Gedanken ein 80jähriger alter Mann mit O-Beinen ist. Umso überraschter ist sie, als sie Rye gegenüber steht, denn er entpuppt sich als sexy Cowboy und ist gerade mal 2 Jahre älter als sie selbst.

Rye O'Donnell hat durch Granny Laniers Erzählungen und Bilder bereits aus der Ferne ein Auge auf die hübsche Austin geworfen. Doch als sie ihm in Fleisch und Blut gegenüber steht, haut es ihn aus seinen Cowboy Boots. Er ist vom ersten Moment an verliebt in die junge Frau. Doch sie ist ein City Girl - und er ein Cowboy der das Landleben liebt. Kann er Austin davon überzeugen Tulsa den Rücken zu kehren? Wird Granny Laniers Hinterlassenschaft Austin zum Cowgirl machen? Oder wird sie Ryes Herz brechen?

-------------------------------------------------------

Zum Dahinschmelzen!! Man möchte ins nächste Flugzeug steigen, nach Oklahoma fliegen und sich selbst einen Cowboy angeln. Ich mochte Rye vom ersten Augenblick an, bei Austin hat es etwas länger gedauert, da sie anfangs noch das etwas hochnäsige Stadtkind raushängen ließ. Und Gott bewahre jeden vor der Eisgöttin, die Austins Mutter Barbara ist. Überhaupt hatte ich mit Austins Familie so meine Probleme. Ihr Vater hat seiner Mutter und dem Landleben den Rücken gekehrt und ist mit Barbara nach Tulsa. Was man so durch Austin erfährt, hat er sie zwar sehr geliebt aber die Frau hat wirklich Eiswasser in den Adern. Ihre herablassende Art fand ich ziemlich nervig. Ihre Schwestern waren nicht besser aber wenigstens fand ich die noch amüsant.

Dagegen war Ryes Familie zum verlieben. Überhaupt mochte ich Rye vom ersten Augenblick an und ich habe mehr mit ihm gezittert, dass Austin ihn nicht wirklich das Herz bricht. Aber sie hat sich von Kapitel zu Kapitel gewandelt und am Ende hab ich ihr heimlich applaudiert, als sie endlich den Mumm hatte, ihrer Mutter die Stirn zu bieten und eigene Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Da es das erste Buch einer Serie ist, habe ich die Hoffnung, dass die vier Geschwister von Rye noch eine eigene Geschichte bekommen und man vielleicht dadurch erfährt, wie es mit Rye und Austin weitergeht. Bisher sind sechs Bände erschienen und in zwei weiteren geht es um die O'Donnell Kinder.

Es war mein erstes Buch von Carolyn Brown aber sicherlich nicht mein letztes. Ich mochte ihren Schreibstil und die fröhlichen Dialoge. Die Handlung ging nicht in Sexszenen unter auch wenn es davon ein paar gab, die aber nicht allzu graphisch beschrieben waren, was gut zum Gesamtbild passt. Carolyn hat noch andere Cowboy-Bücher geschrieben und ich bin sicher, dass ich die Spikes & Spurs Serie definitiv weiterverfolgen werde. Das hat Spaß gemacht!

First class read. You've got city slicker Austin Lanier who heads to the backwaters to fulfil her Aunts wishes for spreading her ashes and sorting out want she intends to do with a watermelon farm she's inherited. She intends to meet the old guy who lives next door that she's spoken to on the phone most Thursday nights over the last 6 months only to find that Rye O'Donnell is in fact drop dead gorgeous and only in his early thirties. He wants to buy the farm until he sees Austin then he's busy plotting how he can get both Austin and the farm. Loved the book, just couldn't put it down until I'd finished it.
