Anxious for adventure and the chance to prove she’s not the spoiled socialite her friends and family believe her to be, Victoria Moore buys The Circle Cat ranch, rolls up her sleeves, and begins the repairs that will turn the ramshackle place into the best dude ranch in Arizona. One thing she didn’t plan on was a dark, down-on-his-luck cowboy smashing into her barn. But when he does, she turns the problem into an opportunity. Armed with limited experience, but a lot of determination, Victoria sets out to get what she wants from the wandering cowboy.

The last thing Lang Thompson wants is to get tangled up with a woman. Especially one who’s used to getting what she wants when she wants it. He knows what rich girls like her expect and he isn’t interested in playing games. But he’s no match for Victoria’s hardworking determination and sexy brand of innocence.

Cowboy for Hire is a story of a woman determined to make her own way in the world, and a man looking for a second chance at life. This romance is an enjoyable quick read by Isabella Drake that I’d recommend to fans of this genre.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy. This was a quick fun read but I was a bit confused after reading the blurb about the book being a clean read then finding it was not the clean type after all. While it was not explicit as some, it is not a book that I would recommend to my mother! I loved, Victoria because she did not come off as a spoiled rich girl, and was a hardworking "regular" woman that had a dream she wanted to make a reality. On the other hand, Lang annoyed me as he thought that he was "helping" Victoria by trying to sabotage things on the ranch. It was great that even though he tried to cause her to fail, she kept going and his plan failed. There was a HEA but it was kind of quick and not drawn out.

I liked this book. Lang and Victoria were good characters trying to figure out what they actually wanted and needed from each other. It was a nice, sweet read and who doesn't like a happily ever after?

This is a great fun read the emotion between these two id great but the thing that makes this book extra special is the banter between the two of them. Both Victoria trying to prove that she was more than a wealthy socialite and Lang not wanting to be tangled with any woman have plenty to prove to one another but they didn't count on the attraction that is flaring between them This is a well written that flows beautifully it was a pleasure to read and once you start you don't want to put it down

Cowboy for Hire was a fun, exciting and passionate read that easily keeps the reader interested till the end. The storyline is well developed, and the characters are strong willed, independent and determined. The story flowed seamlessly, and the banter between Victoria and Lang definitely added an extra element to the overall enjoyment of tis book. While this was my first read by Isabelle Drake, it certainly won’t be my last. So grab a cuppa, get comfy, and settle in for a quick, wonderful, and feel good read.

Sure, Victoria had written marriage off, but spending time with a man like this one, on her own terms, well…that had plenty of appeal. She had promised herself some fun and this guy had fun written all over him, in big, Las Vegas style, neon letters. The muscles in his jaw flexed, hard and determined. Maybe not fun, exactly, a good time—yes, definitely that.

He shoved his hat back and the tiny trace of a smile lifted his capable, kissable mouth. The gaze of his liquid brown eyes met hers, causing a jolt of electricity to skim across her nerves, swirl down her stomach and settle between her legs.

"Listen. All I want to do is straighten out this barn problem, Miss—”

"Marana.” She lowered her voice, "But you can just call me Victoria.”

His eyes narrowed. He leaned back, efficiently rolling the glass in his competent hands. The harder she tried to win him over the more he pulled back. If she weren’t so frustrated, she would’ve laughed.

Never one to give up once she got settled on an idea, she ignored his lack of cooperation and kept leaning toward him invitingly.

He shifted sideways. "As in Marana Construction from Phoenix?”

"That’s my father’s company,” she replied, putting emphasis on father. That easy life she’d eagerly left behind was a thing of the past. She’d come to The Circle Cat to make her dreams come true and have some unrestricted fun in the process.

All she needed was the right man…and fate may have just delivered him.
