Book Review: The Cowboy by Margareta Osborn

the cowboyWhen quintessential New Yorker Carina Chapman arrived in Australia’s High Country, she was expecting luxe accommodations at Barcoo Creek Resort. Then she found out that she was actually booked at the Barcoo Creek Station where luxury means a cowboy cooking for her instead of a Michelin chef.

She was ready to hightail it back to Manhattan, but cowboy Jake Richardson’s blue eyes and ripped body was worth at least a one night stay. Carina was in lust; she was unaware that it was slowly turning into love.

A romantic comedy, The Cowboy by Margareta Osborn has all the elements of a feel good book about the Australian outback. Putting a high strung New York with a mellow cowboy was genius.

The Cowboy is Rated YA for Young Adult for some mild sexual content.

Description

Carina Chapman wants a vacation. Somewhere hot. Somewhere decadent. Somewhere far, far away from her complicated life in New York. Somewhere in Australia appears to be the answer, until Carina discovers her PA has booked her into the wrong resort.

Cowboy Jake Richardson can cook a mean camp-oven roast, track wild horses, breed cattle and knows Australia’s rugged High Country like no other, but he needs to diversify if he wants to keep his land. Tourism seems like the answer, but his housekeeper just quit, the rooms aren’t ready and he doesn’t know a short black from a cappuccino.

Then his first guest arrives.

City slick Carina is smart, classy and disgruntled that her dreamy five-star retreat has been replaced by a rustic homestead beside the Barcoo Creek. Jake has seven days to convince Carina he can deliver all the items on her vacation checklist – including the five-step method to an everlasting relationship…

With him.
