Review:
Winding down my reading to finish out the year, I thought the Love Match series would be the perfect set of books to pick up. First up is Who Wants to Marry a Cowboy? I found the title intriguing.
Ainsley and Cecelia have an overbearing mother to say the least. After she sets Ainsley up on a cruise with Edward, Ainsley happily trades places with her sister who is the one truly in love with the man. This means Ainsley finds herself on a ranch in Wyoming in a Batchelor-style dating competition. The prize? Riley Pommer.
I found the book well-written and it maintained a good pace. As far as plot and content are concerned, it didn’t grasp me but that’s completely a matter of taste/preference. I never got into dating games or reality shows. Still, I felt bad and frustrated for Ainsley and wanted to see her get a happy ending. For that, I enjoyed the book. I also liked the side romances, though I ran hot and cold with Edward.
I’m curious what the next book will bring!
Likes & Dislikes:
What I liked:
- Characters I could sympathize with.
- Great writing.
What I didn’t like:
- Spicier than I prefer to read.
- The dating competition was meh for me. Just not my thing.
Afterthoughts:
A huge thanks to Abigail Sharpe for gifting me a copy of this book at Orlando Reads Books!
