Carolyne Aarsen always has a way of instantly hooking me into her stories and making me feel right at home. She did no less with this LI story, and I'm so pleased I had the chance to read this one. She filled this book with amazing characters, a fun plot line, and an ending that leaves you wanting more of her work!

I loved the twins. They really tugged at the mama in me! Watching them work their magic with Noah and Shauntelle had me smiling more often then not. Seeing Shauntelle and Noah together, watching them work through their issues, their heartache, and learn to rely on each other, and the twins, really rounded out this story.

This is a 4 star read worth picking up. If you are looking for a swoon-worthy cowboy, a page turning story line, and inspirational messages from Above, then this book is one you want on your shelf. Once again, Carolyne Aarsen's awesometastic talent shines through!

This book was so good. Be prepared to laugh and cry.
Shauntelle believes that Noah is responsible for her brother's death. Her twins don't remind repeating what they hear which causes some embarrassing moments for the adults. But with god all things are possible. I highly recommend this book. YOu will really enjoy it.

Thank you netgalley and Love inspired for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

A Cowboy for the Twins had great conflict as the heroine held the hero at fault for her brother's death. The neat thing was that once the romance started, Shauntelle began having conflict with her parents, whom she lived with. Her parents seemed to be more upset with Noah about her brother's death than she was.

I adored the girls, they were as opposite as can be, and they played a large part in the way of throwing conflict in the way of their mother. Also, this town had a Saturday farmer's market, which felt so cozy and small-townish to me, it was a nice touch.

This was my first Carolyne Aarsen novel, and won't be my last! She made the characters come alive, the emotions moved the story forward, and the stakes were high (Shauntelle had to work with the man responsible for her brother's death AND her dream restaurant seemed at risk for opening).

Love a book that has a young child in it. Two's even better. Where are the perfect cowboys in real live? Great book.

A Cowboy For The Twins a story of motherhood. Shauntelle is a single mother of twins. She is very protective of them and her heart. Accusations, no one was blamed for the murder of Shauntelles brother. Mourning, Shauntelle and the family lost her husband and her brother. Forgiveness, Noah is building her restaurant and he wants to prove to her that he is worthy of her trust and possibly love. Collusion, Noah and her mother and the twins see feelings for the two and collude to bring them together while he builds her restaurant. Does it work? You have to read the book to find out. Enjoy.

Shauntelle Dexter has been through a lot, but finally she and her twin daughters, Millie and Margaret, are on their way to making her dream of opening a restaurant a reality. When they get stranded on the side of a country road, Noah Cosgrove comes upon them and offers to help. Shauntelle doesn't want his help at first, her brother died working for his construction company, but Mille, her more outgoing and impulsive daughter befriends Noah, and convinces them to accept his help.



Noah feels bad about what happened, they passed all the safety requirements, but Shauntelle's family still blame him. When Noah takes the job finishing up the arena after the original contractor quits, he finds himself in close proximity to Shauntelle, who's new restaurant is part of the arena.



Will Noah and Shauntelle be able to overcome the past, in order to God's opportunity for a second chance?



Millie and Margaret are best friends, with different but complementary personalities, they enjoy being twins and dress alike for fun. Millie is more talkative and outgoing, with Margaret is more quite and observant, and thinks before she speaks. They love to help their mother cook.



As Shauntelle and Noah work in close proximity, she sees what a kind man he is, and how good he is with her daughters and his mother. As she begins to admire and respect Noah, she feels guilty because her parents are still bitter.



Noah is a great listener, and is great at encouraging Millie and Margaret. He is a good man and wants to be respectful of Shauntelle's parents' feelings towards him, and doesn't want to come between them and their family.



Noah and Shauntelle are great for each other and bring out the best in each other. Fay, Noah's mother is warm and welcoming, with a few matchmaking schemes up her sleeve. Noah and Shauntelle lean on their faith to overcome the past, and the challenges they face. A great conclusion to the series.

Carolyn Aarsen pens another winner with her story of a widowed mom of adorable twin girls. Shauntelle Dexter knows loss. First she lost her husband then her brother. She's determined not to lose her dream. Her twin girls have a dream, too. They want a Daddy and they've got him all picked out. When their car dies in the middle of nowhere, Noah Cosgrove rescued them, going above and beyond to help Shauntelle deliver her baked goods. The twins immediately see a heroic Dad in Noah. They don't connect him to the "evil man" their grandparents blame for their uncle's death - but Shauntelle knows the truth. As her brother Josiah's boss, her family holds Noah responsible. He was exonerated but grief gets in the way of forgiveness.

When Noah's mother sees sparks she joins forces with the twins to throw Shauntelle in her son's path. Noah doesn't plan to stay - his memories the ranchers not good - but his mother's broken leg throws a wrench in his leaving plans. As he takes a job to build Shauntelle 's dream restaurant, can he show her that maybe he's a man she can count on, if she can look past her anger?

I appreciated the way this story looked at grief, and what can happen in a family when they get stuck in the anger phase. The twins, especially Millie, are a hoot. They get away with saying so many things that adults would never let past their lips. Ms. Aarsen is a must read for me. Her books always enthrall.

A Cowboy for the Twins (Cowboys of Cedar Ridge)
by Carolyne Aarsen
A different type of love story that was up and down in the emotional range. While I enjoyed the plot line , There were parts of the book, I could not get into. It seemed a little too light at times for such an overwhelming story line. On the other hand, I enjoyed the twins and the characters for the most part. I like the writing and could only say if I was reading this for a light read, I would rate it as a nice read. Therefore I am giving four stars. I was given this book in return for an honest review.
