He must really be out of things to do.

I could never work for the government.

Wish I had a generous boyfriend.

Oh-ho, she carries a lens cloth for his glasses? Someone's not over their old boyfriend.

She's good at this party thing.

Hey now, some of us are polite!

Jeez, man, have some backbone!

He doesn't get women, plain and simple.

Don't mess with soccer moms.

Julianna Norrell has returned to the Cooper Ranch to take care of her mother who is the housekeeper for the Cooper men. This was not what she planned as she had been living in New York City to promote her photography. Now due to an unforeseen disaster with her career, this was a good time to help her mother and reevaluate her life. Wright Cooper is working through the same type of issues as the candidate he was promoting for governor was found to be embezzling funds from the campaign. His world has fallen apart and he seems to be taking the blame for the candidate and has become a pariah in the political arena. Wright is back at the Cooper Ranch to reevaluate his career and is thrilled that Julianna has returned to town…and to him? Wright and Julianna have always been attracted to each other and now they will join forces to get their lives back on track. My only negative critique would be that I felt Wright spent too much time obsessing about his loss when with unlimited funds he could have moved on to something sooner. Although I enjoyed the first two books more, I thought this was a pleasant addition to the series. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review.

If I can focus solely on the chemistry and love between Julianna and Wright it was sweet, romantic, hot and meant to be.

The other elements of the book (party that bomb, party that was the bomb, and the fuss over bees) she or wasn't my cup of tea with honey.

This was probably my favorite of the series. Julianna was awesomely independent, and Wright was the go-getter. I was still missing a little meat to the story, but I really enjoyed how they helped each other break out of the misery and look for something new.

THE COWBOY'S STUBBORN SWEETHEART by Leslie North is a sweet short story. A second chance romance with a billionaire cowboy.

The story of Julianna and Wright - a second chance romance after she left Montana for New York years ago.
Now they are both back in Montana, after things have gone wrong in their professional lives.

Really did not enjoy Walker Cooper story - billionaire fails with election campaign support and his old flame with failed art shows. The story line had no feeling nor did this romance. "A copy of this book was provided by Relay via Netgalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

The Cowboy's Stubborn Sweetheart is the third and final story in Leslie North’s Brothers of Cooper Ranch and a wonderful epilogue to this billionaire rancher series.

Wright Cooper is like a ship without a rudder; striving to commit to something meaningful that will benefit his beloved Montana, but finding that his best intentions, plus his money lead to deceit and corruption. Left feeling meaningless and lacking direction, he enlists the help of his long, lost love, Julianna.

Julianna has returned to Montana against her better judgement; licking her wounds after a disastrous venture in New York, and to fill in for her injured mother as the Cooper’s housekeeper. But why on earth does Wright Copper need to be right there at her every turn?

This was definitely my favourite story of the trilogy. The plot was light and serious at the same time, and the characters were real and believable. I liked the pace of the story and the underlying message to not lose sight of what makes you happy in your quest to make a difference. Ms North churns out these stories incredibly fast, but she never fails to keep her readers entertained and always wanting more.

I loved the way that Julianna kept cleaning Wrights glasses for him. Right from the beginning, it showed us a closeness that she didn't see yet. I like that this three book series could be read as stand alones, but still had a slight connection.
