<i>A Cowboy for All Seasons<i> is four amazing stories that have emotional moments as Kira, JJ, Lila and Bella cope with dealing with their grief over the loss of Grandma June the Monarch of their unstable families. All four of them have their own baggage to come to terms with.

It was definitely an emotional roller coaster for these four women; moments of true struggle, hard truths and even the possibility of finding love. I love the fact Grandma June hand picked these heroes for her girls. I imagine her getting misty eyed and hooting with laughter. The authors did a phenomenal job with the connection to each story. I highly recommend this anthology to anyone who loves stories that heal the heart, sexy strong cowboys and heroines who have amazing strength with a little kick of sass.

A Cowboy for all Seasons (Jasper Creek #1). By Caitlin Crews, Nicole Helm, Maisey Yates and Jackie Ashenden. 2020. HQN Books (ARC eBook).

A Cowboy for all Seasons is an enjoyable anthology of four cousins and four romances; each taking placing during the course of a season in the farmhouse of the cousins’ late grandmother. In spring, Keira has a second chance with the man she hurt and left behind several years ago. In summer, JJ finds she fits perfectly within the family of Cade and his two cute girls, Ellie and Laura. JJ’s sister Lila and her teenage crush Everette host Jasper Creek’s annual bazaar. In winter, Bella learns to ask for help and love from her ex step-brother Noah. Each story was emotional and steamy and the romances grew and flowed well from one season into the next as the authors expertly captured overall consistency for a satisfying ending.

Four stories in this anthology: four female cousins, each come back to their grandmother's home for one season after her death, each falling for a local cowboy while she is there.

I liked the idea of this story, with a different couple featured for each season. I loved the use of Grandma June's house as a character, acting as a link for all four stories. But I felt like the four stories were more repetitive and similar than they should be. (For example, three of the four female leads were virgins when they found their cowboy partner. Three out of four adults? In a romance novel? Okay.) My favorite of the bunch was the second story, the summer story, by Nicole Helm. She is a new author to me and I'll be seeking out more of her stuff.

I would certainly enjoy each of the stories more if it was a full-length novel. But as an collection of linked stories, it was just okay.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you HQN Books!

Rated 3.5

Grandmother June leaves a note after her death to each of her four granddaughters to spend some time at her farmhouse after her passing. The farmhouse was were the girls spent their summers together bonding and making some wonderful memories. But time and circumstances had the girls drifting apart over the years. But now June has left each granddaughter a letter with a request that each spends a season at the farmhouse.

Keira is the first to visit. She comes back after five years of living in the city. Back to the farm to help with care of the cattle and learns someone will be assisting her. Remy, Keira's one and only true love. The two had a young love but their relationship had some major challenges. Challenges that had Keira running to the city and breaking Remy's heart. Now the two have a whole lot of history and heartbreak to deal with. Can they find their way back to each other and their HEA. This was my favorite couple.

JJ is to assist in the care for two little girls. Her grandmother asked she help this single Dad, Cade during the summer in watching the girls. JJ has attachment and emotional issues, she's closed off thanks to her cold Father. But these two sweet girls teach both JJ and Cade all about love and laughter.

Lila was asked to help organize and execute a fall festival alongside Everette. Everette is Lila's secret crush, a man she had her most embarrassing moment in life with. Lila finds this a challenge working on this festival, in more ways than one. Lila's strong point isn't organization, she's more of a free spirit and spur of the moment kind of girl. And then to top it all off she's working with Everette, how much more challenging can this all be for her. Everette and Lila work through some past misconceptions and the differing ways they work.

Bella has been asked to help fix up the farmhouse, and if she wishes to sell it. Bella's been absent cousin and no one knew where she was. She's a very independent loner. Her Mother's dysfunctional relationships had shaped Bella's guarded heart. But of course who's the first person she sees, her step brother, Noah, from one of those" dysfunctional relationships" her mother had. And the one person that Bella knew could get past her guarded heart. Noah had his own issues, Bella's mother pretty much destroyed his father when she left him. So Noah is fighting his attraction because he doesn't want repeat what happened to his father.

Each of these stories has some sweet and tender moments. It seems to lean a little more heavily on the family theme but did have the romance feel as well. My favorite couple was Keira and Remy.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Just loved this book and recommend it to everyone.

Emotional and satisfying! A COWBOY FOR ALL SEASONS is a story separated into four parts by Caitlin Crews, Nicole Helm, Maisey Yates and Jackie Ashenden. It tells the story of four cousins who used to be as close as sisters in their childhood summers spent with Grandma June in Jasper Creek, Oregon before life sent them in different directions. June Gable is gone now and has left each granddaughter a personal letter asking them to each spend a season in the house she treasured and take care of a task or two for her.

Along the way each cousin reconnects with the past and envisions the future they were meant to have as happily ever after comes knocking at the door. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a family intense plot filled with romance along the way. I enjoyed them all!

When I requested this novel I was into the ideal of reading this novel but I discovered that I was unable to provide feedback on this book due to the series being archived prior to download and file/download issues. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience of not being to review and thank you for taking the time to provide me an ARC of this novel.

A fun set of inter-related cowboy stories. I liked some better than others, but all were worth reading.

Four stories in one book.

June Gable has left each of her four granddaughters a handwritten request to each spend a season at her farmhouse before selling. Once all close but time and family betrayals have pushed them apart.

In story one a second chance romance. Keira is coming back after haven broken Remy’s heart. To only find out she must work with him. Can these two overcome the past to get a happily ever after?

Story two of JJ who is helping Cade who is a solo parent take care of his two daughters. JJ having troubles of showing her emotions due to a father who never showed his. Chemistry between the two but they tried hard to hide it due to that JJ wasn’t planning to stay. Will JJ finally show her true emotions?

Story three of Lila’s second chance with Everett who she had humiliated herself in front of before. Yet Everett is now one hardheaded guy who has built walls around himself. Will Lila be able to break them?

Story four of Bella who is very independent. Never being one to ask for help. She wants to stay away from ex-stepbrother Noah. Yet once arriving there she is met with none other than Noah. Noah has his troubled past having an alcoholic for a father. Both fearing to show their true feelings. Can these two put their fears aside for a chance at love?

Each having to confront secrets and past wounds to be able to heal and find true love.

* Received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review*

Such a touching book. Four stories from four authors, all connected to the same world, but unique at the same time. I have a soft spot for cowboys, so this one was right up my alley. Plus I love anthologies. I think they're a great way to meet new authors, and this one was half new to me authors and half authors that I've enjoyed before, so I was sure to be happy with at least part of the book. As it turns out, I enjoyed each story, and will be looking forward to reading all four of these talented ladies again. As for this anthology, we get a romance for each season as well as four fun tropes to dig into. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys a good cowboy romance, and stories revolving around Grandma June's last wishes is a sweet touch.

Spring - Caitlin Crews : 4/5 -- I'm always a sucker for second chance romance stories, and Keira/Remy can fit right in CC's Cold River series.

Summer - Nicole Helm: 3/5 -- eh it was okay. Couldn't connect to JJ so it was a bit hard to get into, even a single dad hero couldn't save it.

Fall - Maisey Yates: 4/5 -- EVERETT MCCALL, WHEW.

Winter - Jackie Ashenden: 3/5 -- it was cute but didn't really make me feel, iykwim?

This was a terrific collection of stories about second chances, self-discovery, and family. I loved seeing these four women overcome past hurts and find their ways back to the love and friendship they used to share.

Spring - Caitlin Crews
Keira and Remy

Keira is the first of June's granddaughters to arrive at the old homestead. Her task is to help with the cattle, which after five years of living in the city, will take some getting used to. Her partner in this endeavor is Remy, the former love of her life. Their relationship fell apart when he couldn't understand her need to move away for a while. It wasn't that she didn't love him or want to marry him, but that she had to get away from her parents and find out who she was without their influence. Remy was very cold to her at first, but it wasn't long before the old attraction rekindled. However, they are now older and better able to discuss the differences between them and see where things went wrong before. There were two scenes I especially liked: Remy being there to support Keira during her confrontations with her parents, and Keira facing off with Remy's mother about the way his family has treated him. I liked how they finally worked through their differences and were able to move forward together.

Summer - Nicole Helm
JJ and Cade

Grandma June's request of JJ was that she watches two little girls for the summer while their single dad does his work. JJ's parents divorced when she was young, leaving her with her father and her mother taking her little sister Lila. JJ's father was very anti-emotion and taught JJ to be the same way. She has spent years hiding and burying her emotions while trying to win her father's approval. Fulfilling her grandmother's request is the first time she's gone against him. JJ feels very much out of her depth at first with the two girls. I liked watching her relax with them, and begin to see similarities between Ellie and Lora and herself and Lila. There were sparks between Cade and JJ, but they tried to ignore them, as JJ wasn't planning to stay. They developed a very sweet friendship before the sparks started to burn out of control. I loved watching JJ learn to embrace her emotions and show them to those she cares about. It was sweet to see how Cade helped her express those emotions by not judging her when she did. The ending was terrific.

Fall - Maisey Yates
Lila and Everett

Fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants Lila was tagged to organize and run the yearly Red Sled Festival, something she feels is way beyond her capability. But that's okay because Grandma June has also asked neighbor Everett to help Lila. This forces Lila to face the man she had a crush on as a teenager, and who she made of fool of herself in front of at his engagement party. But Bella is an eternal optimist who does her best to see the bright side of everything, so she sucks it up and deals, only to discover that the feelings she had for Everett never died. Everett is a very pragmatic man who views everything with a jaundiced eye. The opposites attract development of their relationship was an interesting one to watch. I especially enjoyed the discussions of their different ways of looking at life and the effect on their dreams of the future. It takes Everett a little longer to recognize his feelings for Lila. I loved his big moment at the end. There was also a terrific scene between Lila and JJ as they mended the rift caused by their parents' actions.

Winter - Jackie Ashenden
Bella and Noah

Bella was the missing cousin, the one who didn't come to the funeral because no one knew where she was. The lawyers finally tracked her down, just in time for her to have her season in Grandma June's house. The timing was fortuitous for Bella, as she recently had her bank account cleaned out, leaving her with nothing. She showed up at the house with little more than the clothes on her back. Bella is very independent. Having grown up with a mother who used men for whatever she wanted, then leaving them when something better came along, Bella works hard at never asking for help. Her letter from June tells her to fix up the house and sell it if she wants to, and not to be afraid to ask for help. When Bella arrives at the house, she immediately runs into the last person she wanted to see - her ex-stepbrother, Noah. Her mom was married to Noah's dad the year Bella was thirteen. Bella had a massive crush on nineteen-year-old Noah, who never seemed to notice her. Lila asked Noah to check on Bella. He wasn't happy about it, as he had cut himself off from everyone. Years of taking care of his drunk father had drained him, and he doesn't want anyone to need him. But something about Bella draws him like a magnet. The development of the relationship between them was a rocky one. There was intense chemistry, but both of them feared getting too close. Noah fought it, but couldn't stop himself from wanting to help her. There were some sweet scenes of the things he did for her, things that showed he understood her. Bella was a bit lost at first, having a hard time accepting his help. Though both fought against their growing feelings, they also found it easy to talk to each other about stuff they'd never told anyone else. I ached for Noah, who was afraid of becoming addicted to Bella the way his dad was addicted to booze, and caused him to push her away. I cried for Bella, who had finally let someone in, just to be rejected. I loved the ending and the unexpected visitors who arrived at just the right time to give Bella the support and kick in the pants that she needed. Her and Noah's big moment at the end was deeply emotional and perfect for both of them.

Grandma June’s farmhouse is someplace we all wish we’d experienced as a kid. These four authors bring it to life in this interconnected anthology. Each story has its own voice, but together the story is all the richer.

<i>Spring</i> by Caitlin Crews
After the death of their grandmother, four women are tasked with staying at her house, each of them for one season. The first is Keira Long. Keira was raised by a con man father and a mother who thought that he was everything leaving no room for anyone else. The only place Keira felt loved was at her grandmother's. And then with Remy West. But his parents didn't approve and Keira felt like she needed to find out who she was on her own so she left when he proposed. That was five years ago. And now she's back, living in her grandmother's house on the same land the Remy lives on, helping with the cattle. Could it be that both of them of matured into people who can be together?

This was the best story of the four. We got to know both Keira and Remy. Was Keira a little bit more adult about them being together? Yes. But we got to see that both were human. Four stars

<i>Summer</i> by Nicole Helm
JJ is back for the summer and has promised to fill in for her grandmother, caring for Cade Mathewson's two girls. She remembers Cade from visiting her grandmother in the summer; he was the only boy that didn't get upset when she beat him at footraces. She is falling in love with the girls but can't deny that their situation (their mother decided to leave and hasn't seen them since) mirrors her own. It brings up a well of emotions that help her heal and maybe bring her to the life she wants to have.
I wish we had seen more of Cade realizing why JJ was so good for him. Of course, this is a short story so we don't get to see a lot but it was an okay story. Three stars.

<i>Fall</i> by Maisey Yates
Lila isn't sure why she's sticking around. It's not like she's organized enough to help run the Red Sled Holiday Bazaar but for some reason, that's what her grandmother asked her to do. And it's being run on Everett McCall's land. Yes, the same Everett that Lila confessed her love to when she was 17. At his engagement party. He's the whole reason she hesitated coming back to Jasper Creek, even ten years later. But working on this together might be a way to finally show the man that she's loved for so long that she is worth loving too.
I never did connect to Lila. She didn't get the closure with her mother that I was hoping for. An okay story but not one of Yates' best. Three stars

<i>Winter</i> by Jackie Ashenden
Bella is the last of the four cousins. She stopped coming back to Jasper Creek when her mother decided that it wasn't worth going. Now, after having all of her money stolen (and why wasn't there more follow-up on this? The bank can't just tell her that they won't replace her money), selling her grandmother's house is her last hope for opening up a cafe. But she has no money, no clothes, and little hope when she comes to the house. Luckily, her ex-stepbrother, Noah is keeping an eye on her. The same stepbrother she always loved. And he offers to help her get the house ready for sale while she... draws her cafe ideas? I guess that was supposed to show that he was helpful and dedicated but it would have been nice to see Bella make more of an effort. There are definitely going to be readers who want to read about a man taking care of a woman like that but I prefer more of a equal relationship. Two and a half stars'

Opinions are my own

A Cowboy for All Seasons was a fantastic collection of romances from authors both new to me as well as some old favorites.

Overall average rating — 4 Stars

Spring by Caitlin Crews — 4 Stars

To honor her grandmother’s last wishes, Kiera Long will return to her family’s farmhouse in Jasper Creek, Oregon and spend spring there where she hopes to correct the wrongs of her past starting with former flame Remy West. This second chance romance was fantastically done with just the right amount of tension between the main characters. When Kiera and Remy see each other again, their initial meeting does not go well. Remy is very short with Kiera while she struggles to find a way to get through to him to show him that her leaving had nothing to do with him but was due to her family. Kiera’s issues with her parents were heartbreaking and I was happy to see Remy back her up when she had run-ins with them even when they hadn’t resolved things between them. I loved the way the pair resolved everything in their relationship and was overall very happy with the ending of their story.

Summer by Nicole Helm — 4 Stars

JJ Frost doesn’t understand why her grandmother requested that she be the one to watch two little girls over the summer, but she knows she wants to honor that request. But as JJ spends time with Ellie and Lora, as well as their father Cade, she finds herself falling for this family and wanting it as her own. I loved JJ as a character so much. I related so much to her issues with showing emotion and how she felt her family’s problems were her fault. Her relationship with Cade is so incredibly sweet and I loved the friendship the two formed before things progressed between them. While romances with characters who have children aren’t generally my favorite, I actually really enjoyed Ellie and Lora. Overall this was an excellent romance and I really liked how the characters reached their happily ever after.

Fall by Maisey Yates — 4.5 Stars

Lila Frost has always been the dreamer of her family, so why Grandma June asked her of all people to organize the annual holiday bazaar is anyone’s guess. And when Lila finds out she has to work with Everett McCall, the cowboy she had an enormous crush on at seventeen, she feels like she’s being punished somehow. I adored Lila and Everett together as they are the epitome of an opposites attract romance. Lila is the biggest optimist I’ve ever seen while Everett has been dealt a hand that could only lead him to be a realist. I loved how their differences shaped their relationship and led to them having some big realizations about what it is they truly wanted out of life. The scenes between Lila and JJ were wonderful and I thought their repairing their relationship was fantastically done. I’m loving how each consecutive story brings these women back together and I can’t wait to see what the final season has in store for them all.

Winter by Jackie Ashenden — 3.5 Stars

After a string of bad luck in Seattle, the invitation to spend winter at her late grandmother’s farmhouse is exactly what Bella needs. But when her ex-stepbrother Noah keeps showing up offering help, Bella doesn’t know how to accept it without falling even harder for her first crush. Bella and Noah’s relationship kicks off fairly quickly in this story as after meeting again there is an instant attraction between the pair. Bella is extremely wary of accepting help from anyone as her mother routinely took advantage of people and Bella never wants to do that. Noah though needles his way into Bella’s life and I loved their instant connection. It was frustrating at times how Noah was convinced there was no future for them due to his own issues, but I was happy with the way the pair moved past that. I was ultimately happy with their romance and loved the ending of the story.

Overall A Cowboy for All Seasons was a phenomenal read and I loved how well the stories connected with each other. I highly recommend this book and will definitely be checking out more from the authors I hadn’t read previously.

Let me start by stating that I am a fan of all four of the authors responsible for this anthology, because they seldom, if ever, disappoint, which once again proved true in A Cowboy for All Seasons. I first encountered three of these authors, Jackie Ashenden, Maisey Yates, and Megan Crane/Caitlin Crews, in The Deacons of Bourbon Street series, which I loved, and I have been following each them ever since, and for good reason--they are all amazingly gifted writers, as is Nicole Helm, whose work I discovered more recently, and in this anthology they more than earned the 5 stars I'm giving them for this utterly wonderful, heartfelt book.

The premise for this anthology was both simple and brilliant. Set in a small western town, Grandma June gave birth to four daughters, and now, in her eighties, widowed, and facing her own mortality, felt that she'd failed to raise her daughters right somehow, and she decided that she wanted to make amends, not with her four daughters, but with the four granddaughters to whom they had given birth, and who spent their childhood summers as friends as well as cousins, making memories, and being loved by their very special, very loving, and very wise grandmother.

After three of the cousins attend Aunt June's funeral, they barely say a word to each other, but several weeks later, each of her granddaughters received a letter from Grandmas June, each letter containing all the love Grandma June had felt for them during the many summers they spent together at her ramshackle farmhouse, and making a request of each one of her granddaughters. The requests were simple, but somehow cryptic--she wanted each granddaughter to spend one season at her farmhouse, tasked each one of them with a special request, and asked them to trust her, and let her spirit and the farmhouse guide them along the path to a better future. Three of cousins, Keira, JJ, and Lila, who'd only sporadically kept in touch over the years, each decided on a season, and arrived at the farmhouse alone. The fourth cousin, and the youngest, Bella, couldn't be found, although the search for her was ongoing. What Grandma June knew, was that each of her granddaughters, though successful, was missing something in her life, and Grandma June, unbeknownst to them, led them back to her farmhouse and back to the loves of their lives, albeit with more than a few stumbling blocks in their paths to those special men.

While I won't go into detail about each granddaughter's season, believing you should discover them on your own, how these four incredibly talented and different authors, already friends, and each with her own distinct writing style, wove their separate stories so seamlessly into one cohesive, heartfelt, sweet, sexy, funny, sad, and charming second chance at love romance, seemed as magical a feat to me as a reader as what I can only refer to as Grandma June's guiding spirit, whose farmhouse retained all the memories, love and wisdom she possessed.

If you love it when you read a romance that gives you the warm fuzzies, and contains so much depth, emotion, and character development that, by the end, you feel you've come to know the minds and hearts of each of its characters, understand their loneliness, their pain, their hopes and their dreams, then you need to grab a copy of what I consider to be the best romance anthology I've ever read, and immerse yourself in the charm and wisdom about life, choices, love, forgiveness, and family contained within its pages.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this anthology. The opinions expressed are my own.

We get a little bit of everything here, a second chance romance, a single-dad romance, a first love romance, and a former step-siblings romance. All are packed with emotions, all have a rocky ride to the HEA, and all have our women ending up with their cowboy <3

Spring – Caitlin Crews
Watching Remy and Keira now as mature adults, and hearing how they were when they were younger, made this second-chance all the sweeter. Having them realize they were always still in love with each other, and making sure they listened to, and talked to, each other this time around, yeah, I shed some tears for them. Their story was poignant, sexy, and sweet, in other words, a most wonderful romance!

Summer – Nicole Helm
Oh sweet JJ, you may have had problems expressing your emotions, but you had me expressing mine, repeatedly, as your story unfolded. Throw in those two motherless little girls, and I was lost in your heart, even before you fell for their cowboy dad. And when you finally figured it all out, I was so happy for you, so happy you finally found your way and let yourself feel!

Autumn – Maisey Yates
Lila and Everett, both had such buried pain, but didn’t acknowledge it was there. Shaped by their parents, but doing the opposite, to find that happiness it seemed they never got from those who should have loved them the most. But burying that pain only meant it bubbled up when their emotions overcame them. Once they acknowledged and dealt with it, they could move forward with the lives they were meant to live, together, and in love!

Winter – Jackie Ashenden
Bella and Noah’s history holds no cherished memories for either of them. Bella has been isolated from everyone who cared about her because she followed her mother’s lead. Noah has also isolated himself, by choice, because of who and how his father was. But they both seem to have no problem opening up to each other, even though they really don’t want to. Letting go of old hurts and habits when you are as stubborn as these two isn’t easy, but the peace it brings them when they do, was wonderful!

Cue all the swoons! I loved every part of this book!

One small town, one beloved grandma, four cousins coming home, four hot cowboys worth coming home to, and one life-changing year for this extended family. When Grandma June passed away, she left behind her ramshackle farmhouse filled with love and memories along with four letters - one for each of her granddaughters - arranging for each of them to spend one season in her home, with each assigned a separate task that turns out to be an insightful matchmaking plan in disguise.

I loved how all four of these stories - each with their own HEA - work together so beautifully. The healing that these women need is not just with their hearts, and the focus on their family dynamics was exquisitely done, especially because it was done by four different authors throughout each of their stories.

The first story is a true second-chance romance, with Keira having returned years after breaking Remy's heart only to find that she now has to work alongside him. Their romance is about so much more than just how they feel about each other, and I was simply enthralled as they each had to come to terms with all the family issues that were lying just beneath the surface.

Next up is JJ, who finds herself helping out the now very grown-up Cade with his motherless daughters. I loved how this story drew both JJ and Cade out of their shells, forcing them to confront long-buried feelings as they make a new life together.

Fall brings the delightfully optimistic Lila, who finds that she has a second chance with the guy she humiliated herself for seven years before. Everett is one tough nut to crack, however, as he's crafted a protective outer shell that keeps him from risking it all. Her sunny disposition hides the still-devastating effects of a troubled childhood, one that she is able to find healing for through reconnecting with her sister, JJ.

The last story brings the broken Bella to town, desperate to find her own way, and just as desperate to stay away from her ex-stepbrother, Noah, who just happens to be the one person Grandma June put in her path. This romance nearly broke my heart, with both Bella and Noah hurting so deep before they find their healing path to love.

All of these stories have a solid "one true love" theme as each of our main female characters has never had eyes for, or experience with, any other men. That Grandma June knew this and orchestrated her matchmaking plans accordingly is the thread that ties all the stories together. The girls also find healing in their relationships with each other, just as planned.

It's a beautiful story from start to finish, a rare opportunity to read four different love stories that together make up one unforgettable, life- and love-affirming family saga. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

A Cowboy for All Seasons by Maisey Yates added some fun elements to the well written book. Grandma June had four granddaughters. After her death she willed each of her granddaughters one season at her house. The letters came with specific instructions on what they were to accomplish during that season. Grandma June had specific objectives in mind obviously and each of her granddaughters - Keira, JJ, Lila and Bela all had help though - each had the help of a cowboy from their past.

One of the cool ways this book was so remarkable was that each granddaughter and her season was written by another author (Maisey Yates, Caitlin Crews, Nicole Helm and Jackie Ashenden.). Quite frankly, I found it to be well done. The stories of each flowed nicely and the small amount of needed tailoring was not forced. Another great aspect was that each of the granddaughters found their peace.

I liked how the house was a character in the book. I love how the house (presumably with the Grandma June) made their opinions known with doors slamming, windows shutting and steps breaking. Each of the granddaughter had to find a way to come to grips with the death of a loved one, while learning how they were going to move forward. A Cowboy For All Seasons by Maisey Yates was a good read!

What a great story. I loved the concept and although each season (story) was written by a different author, the complete book flowed effortlessly!

Each of four cousins are left a season to spend in their grandmother's house. At one time they used to spend summers together with their grandma. As they grew up and separated, living their own lives, they grew apart.

This is a story of the strength and love of family. How years melt away, and childhood memories can see us through the most challenging of times. Well worth reading!

I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinions.
