A Cowgirl never Forgets is an entertaining romance. I enjoyed the plot and the character dynamics. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

0🌶️, ⭐️⭐️

I really don’t think I am the intended audience for this book. The description gave me high hopes for a cowboy romance and small town feels, but I didn’t feel any of the romance and attraction you normally get from a cowboy romance. There was no build up of the town really, and the only characters were their family. The grandma and Big E were extremely meddlesome but not in the endearing way. And Maggie’s history with the Blackwood Belles and her anger towards them is justified but Maggie is so stuck in her hate and that hardly gets resolved. And the whole family really isn’t fair to her at all. I still feel like I don’t like the mother and their relationship.

The description makes it seem that Clem’s concussion delusions is the main plot of the book but it’s only really there for the beginning. This could have really been a fun fake-dating trope.

And then they bring in a whole new dream for Clem and his future right at the very end. Seemed like a few different stories wanting to be told here and I didn’t get enough of any of them. I really think we needed more one-on-one with Clem and Maggie. Almost every scene had family involved. I didn’t see enough of their growth. I did like Griff, however. I wouldn’t mind a story about him.

✨ Would I recommend? Probably to those who like a meddling family drama more so than a small town, cowboy romance.
✨Don’t let this review discourage you from reading this heartwarming story, it just wasn’t what I was expecting!
