I would like to thank netgalley and Tule Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

DNF

Very twee.

With her tail between her legs after being dumped at the alter, Jenny Wentworth returned to her hometown of Honor, Tx. After she returns to town, she sees her brother’s best friend, Sheriff Caleb McCall. Now she’s got to decide if she can trust their growing attraction.
This was a sweet story. It flowed seamlessly, allowing you to get through it quickly. I liked all of the characters. There were some funny moments. I recommend.

Jenny is home for now, it seems she's is going to have to come face to face with a few people she would like to keep in the past and some faces she has missed. When she left the last wedding she thought that would be the one but it seems the universe has other options for her. Could three times be a charm or will she have to go about having a family the unconventional way?
Caleb is home and ready to stay put down the roots and maybe one day have a family he wants but with out all the craziness can he have that or is it not in the cards. When Jenny comes home they seem to get thrown together to much and he sees he needs to avoid her, but when she needs his help with something it seems almost to much. Can he help Jenny and her family and keep his heart in tact?

What a fun book. I have read book out of Marietta Montana by this publisher and I feel like Honor Texas is the southern Marietta. I love these characters and this town and the fun characters. I love how the other pieced this book together and it flowed just drawing you in. This book does contain some adult innuendos however its a fairly clean book and super worth the read. I don't know think I could say anything negative this book was super amazing and I can't wait to read more from Honor.

I enjoyed reading The Cowboy's Renegade Bride but with a few reservations.
First of all I felt the pacing was too slow, which meant that at times the story dragged. Partly, I felt this was due to the author's regular insertion of thought bubbles, which interrupted the flow of the story. The second thing that annoyed me, though I admit it also made me chuckle occasionally, was that this story was clearly proof read using auto-correct, which resulted in some odd little phrases such as "rivets running towards the low neckline of her blouse" and the "timber of his voice". Finally, I really didn't warm to Jenny. She just didn't convince me of her value.
So what did I like about this story? Well Caleb made a rip-snortingly good hero, which was a definite plus. The story itself, while a little slow, was a sweet read and with a little tightening would have been a really good read.

This story draws you in from the very first page and just will not let go until you are finished ! I have not read anything else from this Author but once I finished this the first book went into my wish list and I pre-ordered the third book.This book keeps you guessing until the end on what she will do .I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Jenny Wentworth has come back to her home town and feels disgraced once again because she was dumped at the altar. Now not knowing where to turn she looks to her home town of Honor Texas, to find some type of peace in her life. Home for her is not very peaceful she does not know where her brother is at and once again her home does not feel like home. That changes when her brothers’ best friend and someone she has always had a crush on shows up at her house. Sheriff Caleb McCall has also liked Jenny for a long time, actually since he saw her one time in summer in a green bikini, now he is hoping she is staying in town. He is looking at saving his families ranch and to do that he would like to marry and have children. The problem is the woman he would like to marry never stays in town long enough for him to even ask her out on a date. He now stops that point by kissing her and wouldn’t you know it her drunken brother shows up. Once he is sober he is happy with her dating his best friend and thinks it is the best thing she could do. The next thing he does is goes to an AA meeting to work on staying sober. Caleb finally lets Jenny know his true feelings for her and that includes marriage. Show her his home and tells her she can decorate and change as she pleases, but when she receives a phone call now will she run from Caleb or stay, maybe he should arrest her. Read this story and find out what happens.

Ms LaClair has once again created a charming story that is as heartwarming as it is endearing. Caleb is one fine example of the tough, yet loving oldest McCall brother, sheriff, and finally husband in the second book in the McCall brothers series.

It is really hard not to fall in love with Jenny and her trials that finally lead her back to Honor, Texas and ultimately Caleb. Together they bring so much heart to the story. At times even a few sighs at the tenderness that Caleb shows toward Jenny. There are some tense moments throughout that make for a different edge to the couple's relationship.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and Netgally, I am voluntarily provided my honest review.

The Cowboy's Renegade Bride (The McCall Brothers Book 2) by Laurie LeClair
This is Jenny Wentworth and Sheriff Caleb McCall's story.

I enjoyed Jenny and Caleb's story. This is a sweet, heartwarming, and sensuous read. A great book to escape from everyday duties. Kick back and go with Jenny and Caleb on their journal to get past old hurts and to find true love. There are a few surprises along the way. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

The McCalls may be down, but they are not out. Their trials only make them stronger and push them to fight harder. That's why I believe Caleb and Jenny such a champion combination. He's all about saving his family legacy. She dreams of creating her own. They share a commonality. To create an enduring legacy that rises out of the ashes of heartache, yet manages to make it's presence known. Steeped in hope, guided by love and destined to succeed, author, characters and story lay out why it is important to follow your dreams. Another sweet winner.

Jenny and Caleb's story. For the most part it was fun, although at times it was hard to keep track of who was who. A lot of past history and names are thrown around and it is hard to keep them straight. I liked the story overall, and would recommend it, but felt it could have had a tighter plot.

There are two things in life that Jenny seems quite talented at. Running away from home when the going gets tough. Being dumped quite publicly at the alter on her wedding day. Oh, make that three things… her love of children taking the top position over absolutely anything else in her life. Even her own happiness. She’s returned home once again to the small Texas town of Honor. She knows the gossips will have a field day with her return, but at this point she has no where else to go. Running in to Caleb, her brother’s best friend and her teenage crush was simply the cherry on top of the melting milkshake of her day. Why did he have to be so handsome – and so determined to hold onto that bro thing about baby sisters and dating. She’d growl if she had the energy.

As Caleb watched Jenny’s red Jeep roll to a stop close by his first thoughts were – she’s back – and then – for how long this time. If she’d stay in one place, like home, long enough she just might find that although he believed in the “bro thing” he also believed in staking his claim to a woman he’s attracted to once and for all. Yeah, he’d been burned before but that wasn’t Jenny’s problem. And as the days passed and he saw what she was facing that idea of his to keep her here with him became an outright plan… involving the entire town.

Both Jenny and Caleb have issues that need to be dealt with at some point. While their romance is certainly not conventional it is very amusing, fun and even charming. In The Cowboy’s Renegade Bride we’ll discover one woman who has made the wrong choices have the chance to make the right one for a change. And a man who believed his heart was frozen in time comes to see the future that’s standing right in front of him as a possibility. Their story is told in a lighthearted way with some serious undertones. In order to have a future of happiness, Jenny has to deal with her past and put it in some perspective, and maybe change a few automatic responses. It was an enjoyable journey watching them come to their happy ending.

I believe any Romance reader would enjoy this one. Two people who fight both their pasts and a possible future. But end up sticking for the long haul because it’s right for them. Full of interesting characters in this small town, some I certainly hope to learn more about soon. I’d recommend this story to any Romance reader, especially if you enjoy a slightly unconventional style of romance.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Jenny Wentworth is back after being left at the alter for the second time. All she wants is a family and children but she has decided to go it on her own. She is through with men. This is a fairly typical story with Sheriff McCall as the man she has always been attracted to. Look for tension and romance as they work toward their HEA.

The Cowboy's Renegade Bride is the second book in the McCall Brothers’ stories by Laurie LeClair. This little sister of best friend trope works in this story. Perhaps it is because while Jenny had a crush on Caleb at fifteen, he had also been noticing her. Caleb is the strong, dependable, stand-up kind of guy he seems driven by other people’s expectations. Jenny on the other hand has unrealistic ideas about relationships. I wanted to say her mothering obsession is unrealistic but I have met one or two women just like her.


The ranch still is struggling as it was in the first book, though this read fine as a stand-alone. There is the also the issue of alcoholism front and center which has impacted Jenny’s life since childhood. Still you must admire someone who is going to prove the town naysayers wrong. I still enjoy every scene that Caleb’s grandfather is in, along with the words of wisdom Caleb remembers from his grandmother.


It is obvious that Jenny and Caleb belong together. It is the getting together that is full of drama and angst, Jenny style. Enjoyable as it is outrageous with the road blockade. You just have to read that to believe it. Now what to do about Sonny.

Third times a charm

Jenny returns to her hometown Honor, TX after being left at the alter a second time. The only think Jenny ever wanted was kids and a family of her own.
Sheriff Caleb McCall has ignored his attraction towards Jenny since years. She is his best friends sister after all. But now that she's back in town, he can't seem to stop thinking about her, and kissing her doesn't seem to help matters.
The cowboys renegade bride is a sweet story that will leave you smiling. Caleb's grandfathers wisdom and Ms Peaches and Ms Clementine funny antics add some cute moments in the book.

Gotta love me a sheriff. Whoa did I love this sheriff
Loved the story
Loved the writing
Totally loved the ending
