Award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon
delivers a charming contemporary tale about a brawny rancher, a brainy beautyâ??and a beast of a predicament . . .
/>
Ranch owner Jesse Pleasant always felt too big for his desert townâ??literallyâ??and too brutish to fit in with his charming, cowboy brothers. After his temper gets the best of him one time too many, he's ready to accept the truth: he's cursed to be alone. But when the Senate selection committee comes looking for a man of his public standing, he knows this might be his chance to prove to his family and friends that he can keep his cool, all while giving back to his community. There's only one problem. While Jesse definitely has a mind for business, his people skills are more than lacking.

Former tech consultant Lily-Grace Leroux has had it up to her hat with hot-tempered men who think they know what's best, especially a big headed rancher set on keeping her widowed father from dating his grandmother. But after Lily-Grace learns of Jesse's softer side during a painfully awkward showing at a community date auction, one thing becomes clear; while Jesse Pleasant is not ready to run for public office, he might be ready for love. Against her better judgement and despite their rocky start, Lily-Grace warms to the sparks flying between them. She never dreamed they would build their own connection, one destined for its own happily ever after . . .

A Thorn in the Saddle is the third book within the Cowboys of California series and it did NOT disappoint. The main characters, Jesse & Lily-Grace have dynamic chemistry! The storyline was well written - a modern take of the Beauty of the Beast. This love story can be read in one day - which I did because it really kept my attention. I did not feel like I needed to read the first two boos in this series to appreciate the third one but I am inclined to go and read the first tow just because I enjoyed the writing of this one. Highly recommend! ( )

A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Cowboys of California #3

Elementary school friends meet gain when Lily-Grace returns to Charming, California to lay low and regroup as she decides what her future plan will be. When Jesse Pleasant does something that upsets Lily-Grace, she lets him know just how she feels and the fireworks begin…fireworks that lead to a whole lot more.

What I liked:
* The idea that childhood friends meet and find they are good together as adults and as a couple
* The open honest communication between Lily-Grace and Jesse
* That Jesse realizes he has an anger issue and goes for counseling
* That both main characters confronted and conquered personal fears
* The location on the ranch in California
* Seeing people from previous books
* Wondering if there will be a book for some of the supporting characters
* The great relationship Lily-Grace has with her father
* The friendship that developed before and along with the steamier aspect of the relationship between the main characters

What I didn’t like:
* Dane: the man Lily-Grace dated for five years
* The harassment experienced by Lily Grace at her last job

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
