DNF at 46%.

Cade is a former rodeo rider turned farmer. When his ex is killed in a car accident he becomes guardian to his teenage daughter Allie and responsible for her rehab. Taken away from her home, her friends, her school, and the city (and obviously having lost her mother), Allie is lashing out, especially at Cade who has barely been in contact, albeit that was more to do with his ex making it difficult rather than him not caring.

Now Cade and Allie are back on the horse rescue ranch where he works and his cousin has hired a physiotherapist to live in and help Allie get mobility back. Nora had a catastrophic breakup which tanked her career as well as her love life, a live-in job helping a young girl to walk again, thousands of miles away seems like a great way to lick her wounds in peace.

From the moment they met Cade and Nora have serious sparkage, but with an injured child with abandonment issues to deal with is there any time for love?

I tried with this I really did but honestly ... Cade is fighting an uphill battle to prove to Allie that he does care and that he's in it for the long term, he loves his daughter but he *had* to leave her because of 'reasons' and he carries the guilt to this day (after nearly halfway through I don't know what happened, but I have a strong suspicion). Allie is scared he will walk away just when she's got attached so she attacks him at every opportunity. So Cade (as a mature man) is too stupid to keep it in his pants. Also, he blows hot and cold more often than my hairdryer.

And don't get me started on Nora, her entire life went up in flames because she was involved with a doctor at the hospital where she worked. So she thinks it's a good idea to sleep with the client's father?

I had to stop, I had swiped past the sex scenes but there was throbbing, wet shirts and every cliche under the sun as far as I can tell, but when Cade sleeps with Nora then shuts her down because of the aforementioned 'reasons' I started to grind my teeth.

Sorry, just not my cup of tea and I had to DNF at 46%, I can see how it's going to pan out and it's pretty predictable.

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

Cade has to learn to be a father to a daughter he barely knows. Allie has lost her mother and has to live with a father she doesn't trust and who has been made out to be a horrible person. Nora joins the family to help Allie heal but learns to be part of this crazy family. I enjoyed the journey all 3 had to take to learn to trust and love.

“How to Cowboy”, by Jennie Marts (Sourcebooks Casablanca), is a delightful story with an experienced cowboy struggling to be the best dad, a giving heroine, a grieving, moody teenager and a cast of lovely human and animal characters.
Cade and Nora are both likeable characters, whose relationship quickly evolves from professional to romantic. Allie is a very realistic, believable teenager, central to the plot. She can be annoying and insufferable, but her mood swings are true to life.
The attraction is instantaneous but plausible.
This is as much about Cade and Nora as it is about the flow of affections between friends and family, including a set of animals helping in the main characters’ healing process.
There are some endearing, cute scenes involving the animals.
I liked having the hero’s point of view on things and seeing how he struggles to do the best for his daughter and for Nora. His clumsiness in certain areas is sweet.
I usually don’t appreciate that much the kind of story with women bonding and talking, but somehow I enjoyed this. Watching a new romance bloom between a shy hero and a single mom was entertaining, too

I really enjoyed reading, How To Cowboy. I appreciated how Cade doesn't bad mouth his daughters mom. He let her believe that he was worthless and a bad dad. His daughter came to the conclusion all on her own that the things that her mom had told her was not all true. Really shows a mans worth. Nora sees how hard Cade is trying and falls in love hard. Country living looks good on her.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
I REALLY loved this book. Allie, Nora and Cade came together at just the right time. While they all have doubts and trust issues they learn to come together and are happy but Allies Aunt and Grandfather threaten to take all their new found happiness away.
Can They all learn that together they can be a family through thick and thin?

Loved this book! Cade is a sexy, and somewhat damaged, cowboy working on his cousin's ranch. When his ex-wife dies, he takes in his daughter, Allie. In addition to his own feelings of inadequacy, his ex had made him having a relationship with Allie almost impossible. However, as Allie starts to fall in love with the animals, Cade realizes the depth of his love for his daughter. Nora is the the physical therapist that Cade hired to help Allie in her recovery from a car accident. Almost before they realize it, Nora and Cade begin to fall in love, even as their love for Allie grows.

As challenges are thrown at them, they struggle to see if they could become a family. Their story was engrossing and had a depth that made it interesting. I found myself engaged in their story and wanting them to get their HEA ending. This story is a winner and fans of the genre will love it - put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Cade can teach me how to cowboy any day. Delicious. Alas, he’s already given his heart to his daughter Allie and her physical therapist, Nora. Transition is the theme. Case has to learn how to be a father amd Allie needs to realize the world doesn’t always work out like we want. Nora needs to show more caution before rushing headlong into new romances. I have to say, the animals took center stage, again. From the adorable puppies, to the prissy pig, horses, and the wily goat who can change tv channels, they were the stars, allowing the humans to have some of the attention. Come to Colorado and see if you can get your cowboy.
