Two lonely souls burnt badly by former lovers meet, fight and fall in love.
Jessica, a divorce attorney who'd recently walked in on her fiance and his secretary ..in her bed made arrangements to get out of town while she got her head together, drove into a wicked rainstorm...and off the road, while trying to get to the cabin she rented.
Jason, the rancher who rescued her in the storm, also owner of said cabin, has demons and trust issues of his own. There is many things on his plate to handle and he is struggling, and afraid she is after his secrets. He doesn't want her there, but she can't leave, the cheater is still in her apartment and she has been given a leave due to an unfortunate work incident.
They're like oil and water, but explosively hot together, his grandmother believes they're a match and pushes them together as often as she can.
Ms. Jones writes a steamy romance with humor and wonderful characters. I can't believe how fast this book went, I was so absorbed in the story, needing to see what happened next, only to arrive at the end wanting more.
If you like heat and humor, and your characters realistic with flaws and good character....this is the one I would recommend. I've already told several friends they need to read this book ASAP...as soon as published. It is that good!! I wish I could give it more stars
I requested and received a NetGalley Arc for my honest opinion. I expected it to be a good read, but it far exceeded my expectations. I predict it will be a chart topper.

Jessica is a mess, broke up with her boyfriend, lost her home and job - so what’s a girl to do? I would have done just what Jessica did - pack up and leave the big city and land right in the middle of “nothing”, called Sweetwater, Texas. Nothing except the most sinful looking cowboy Jessica has ever laid her eyes on. Jason however, is leary of women - especially city girls - and Jessica needs to leave and go back to Dallas.
City girl and cowboy is like oil and water - through in hilarious banter, and bumbling mishaps, add Lisa’s great writing and you have a five star read.

I received for an honest review from Netgalley

Omg I have been reading Lisa Renee Jones for quite sometime and this one is another amazing series I just can’t wait to read more of this is just phenomenal a must read the characters hooked me from the start and I couldn’t put it down

A cowboy who's also a ballplayer? Sign me up please! This book is the first in a series and was the first "western" read for this author that I've come across. Wasn't sure quite what to expect, as many of her other offerings have a mystery twist weaved in them. Lisa Renee Jones took the leap into modern western romance and hit it out of the ballpark (pun intended). Not over the top steamy so reaches a wide range of customers. Characters are relatable in their interactions, and grandma added a nice element to the storyline. Looking forward to the other books in this series!

Coming home and having your whole life change in the blink of an eye can really have an affect on the future. Finding that someone new and learning to trust and love again is a hard task. This authors story is truly an amazing tale of two couples overcoming great loss and heartbreak. Their story is truly awesome and I highly recommend that you read it. Lisa did an amazing job with all of the characters in this story.

I'm so sorry to be so negative when I know that authors put so much hard work into their publications, but this book was terrible. Inconsistent events (were those two engaged or not before Jessica moved away? It wasn't clear in the beginning - she said "almost" but then later always referred to him as her fiance. That whole story line was ridiculous) and terrible characters drove me insane. I'm not the target audience for romances because I'm a critical reader, but my brain wanted something easy. This will probably be just fine for romance readers.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an e-galley to review.

The Truth About Cowboys is one fine read with characters readers will fall in love with. Divorce lawyer, Jessica flees to Sweetwater, TX after her engagement and her job implode. She has rented a little cottage from Martha, who neglected to tell her the cottage was actually owned by her grandson, former Yankee’s pitcher, Jason Jenks. These two are like oil and water...or maybe more like oil and vinegar...which when shaken blend together quite nicely. While the dialogue and situations are cute, clever, sassy, and sexy, the story has a lot of depth. Jessica and Jason have issues with trust and self-esteem which only makes their sparring more fun to read about. Add in the very strong character of Martha, a 70 year old opinionated super talented baker with a knack for pulling strings and readers are in for a real treat. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

I enjoyed this book and thought it was a good book. Quick and easy to read with likable characters and an entertaining story. Some twists, plenty of drama and explosive chemistry. Loved the back and forth banter between Jason and Jessica. He was definitely an a..h at times. I read an advance copy via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to review. If you like sexy, alpha cowboys, you'll enjoy this book.

This is my first book by Lisa Renee Jones, although I recognize her name, but it won't be the last. It had everything you could possibly want from a cowboy romance: a grumpy but super sexy cowboy; a sassy heroine; small town charm; cookies; cowboy boots; romance and sass.

I got all the feels from this sexy cowboy/city girl romance. Great writing, wonderful characters, enemies to lovers to enemies to friends to lovers. Both Jason and Jessica have been burned badly in the past, and yes, you’ve guessed it, they’re not looking for love, but they’ve got a huge attraction towards each other, and the chemistry is so strong, this thing between them is impossible to ignore, no matter how much they dislike each other. Cowboy Jason, is sexy, alpha, and a former pro baseball player running the family ranch. Jessica is a former divorce attorney turned author, with an adorable and extremely funny penchant for being clumsy, all she wants is a quiet place to escape to. The thing is, grandma (Martha) is hell bent on getting these two together. Then there’s also the secrets. Martha is keeping secrets from Jason, Jason is keeping secrets from Martha, Jessica is keeping their secrets from each other. Neither one wanting to upset or worry the other. All Martha wants is for Jason to be happy, play baseball and settle down with the right woman, she’s one hell of a matchmaker. A full five stars from me, I so hope we get more from Sweetwater, Texas and these wonderfully sweet characters. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Gotta love a granny matchmaker!!
The Truth About Cowboys was a very enjoyable read. It was quick and easy. I would recommend it.

I don't think Jason knows what to make of his girl, "...that’s when he eyes my socks with little cats all over them. He arches a brow. “What’s wrong with cats?” Jessica's eyes tend to wander, "...he clears his throat. My gaze jerks to his as he leans down close to me. “I’ll make the mac n cheese, but if you keep looking at me like that, we won’t get to eat it.” I liked tis book, I fell in love with Jason, but man did he give me whiplash.

When divorce lawyer, Jessica, discovered her long term boyfriend in their bed with his secretary, she knew she needed a change. Her Dallas law firm agreed after she called one of her wealthy clients out for cheating. So Jessica decides to rent a cabin in the boonies to start over and write a book on divorce. Unfortunately the cabin she rents is already occupied by a sexy but very angry cowboy, Jason. His grandma rented it to her and didn't tell him. Jason is a hard working rancher with a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. He is also on the high functioning autism spectrum and has some trouble communicating. I loved that aspect of the book and how he and Jessica learn to talk to each other. Recommended.

I wouldn't have been as patient with Jason. Jessica gave him way to many chances. She got it right, he acted like an asshole. I'm afraid that the author made me hate Jason a little to much for too long. He should have redeemed himself earlier in the book.

Dallas hot-shot divorce lawyer finds her fiance in bed with his secretary (such a cliche) and torpedoes her career by insulting the firm's biggest client then runs away to write a book about divorce in small-town Texas. Unfortunately, the cottage she has rented from a sweet little old lady turns out to be owned by the little old lady's very sexy grandson and former baseball pitcher.

Granny is match-making but her grandson is having nothing to do with another city woman, not after his fiance stomped all over his heart when he gave up baseball to rescue the family farm after his parent's sudden deaths.

This is my first book by Lisa Renee Jones, although I recognise her name, but it won't be the last. It had everything you could possibly want from a cowboy romance: a grumpy but super sexy cowboy; a sassy heroine; small town charm; cookies; cowboy boots; romance and sass.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you give me a cowboy I’m going to swoon… add to that the fact that he is a professional baseball player with a brazen attitude and I am done for! I LOVED this story. This is an unexpected chance love story that is full of steam and swoon worthy moments.

As I laughed and sighed my way through this story I also fell in love with the characters. They are passionate and sweet, kind and fiery. I loved the possessiveness balanced with the desire to let each other shine. The dialogue was perfect and it was like these characters were real, I felt everything while reading this story.

City woman verses the cowboy makes this story exactly what you are hoping for. The push and pull, the secrets and truths; everything is in perfect balance. I could not get enough of the interactions between the two main characters; they drove me to turn the pages. One minute I was backing one then the next I was rooting for the other. The secondary characters (I am thinking Grandma here) also made this story enjoyable. I loved the humor!! There is not a lot of baseball in this story so don’t get discouraged thinking its part sports romance. It is all about the cowboy and his sassy new love interest!! I have never read this author before but I will be looking into her stories for more! I received an ARC via NetGallery and am leaving an honest review.
