I loved the Three Cowboy series!

Nobody at the Nilsen Ranch knew that Max Romero had gotten married four years ago until he had to tell them when his wife Phoebe Creighton-Smith showed up at his sister’s house in Reno. Phoebe had married Max to help with getting her inheritance from her family. Now her family wants to actually see Max in person finally but she would rather be around Max on the ranch if her family doesn’t interfere.

Max had thought that Phoebe would file for divorce after she had solved her inheritance problem but now she was on the ranch he didn’t want her return to England.

I loved how everybody on the Nilsen ranch supports each other because they want the best for them.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First of all, thank you for sending me this complimentary copy.

Is this book for someone who just wants to quickly read through it without thinking? Potentially yes.
Was this story for me? No.

Truly and honestly I wanted to like this book. Unfortunately I didn’t and dnf’d at 68% as I felt like the story wasn’t taking me anywhere.

Everything moved so fast that it lacked context and depth to make me feel connected to the story. Which resulted in the story remaining quite flat without any pace.

The two main characters, Phoebe and Max, haven’t seen each other in four years for a reason I haven’t fully figured, other than “I needed to figure out things”. Both were very eager to dive into that one bed together rather than talk it about things. The smut felt too cold, distant and clinical.

It felt like it was all over the place and as a reader we were given a lot of unnecessary gap filling information in places that didn’t require them or added anything new to the story.
For example, we’re presented with a side character named Olly who had a helping hand in organizing a bachelors party. Apparently our main man Max gave Olly some input and had a helping hand in making this vision a reality for Olly. Though, going from Olly’s introduction there was absolutely nothing that indicated that these two characters had met prior to discuss the ins and outs of the bachelor party.

However, I could definitely see the potential of the story, but unfortunately this felt like reading a first draft.
Personally the story didn’t draw me in like I had hoped it would. It felt like a platonic friendship that was one sided when it came to showing interest.

An impulsive wedding between two seemingly opposite people; Max, a mischievous cowboy and Phoebe, a posh Brit. Max and Phoebe have not seen each other since their wedding night until Phoebe shows up and requests Max to play happy couple in front of her family. What occurs next is two strangers, from two different worlds, falling in love and trying to decide how to make this marriage work...and if the other partner even wants to.

This was a super cute love story. I have not read this series but quickly figured out who our 3 cowboys are, and did not feel like there were major details I was missing by reading this final book in the series. I feel like this book addressed communication; family boundaries etc. all really well, and in a realistic way. This is not a closed door romance so please keep that in mind when reading.

Hold your horses, girl! I gotta admit, I didn't read the first two books of this series. The truth is that I didn't even know that it was part of a series. What can I say? Can't resist a cowboy romance !!! yeehaw

I thought this was a polyamorous romance, but I was wrong (lol). This story's all about Phoebe and Max. Four years ago, they met in Reno, got hitched in a spur-of-the-moment kind of way, then went their separate trails. Now, Phoebe's back in US, searching for Max, and that's how they both end up at the ranch. And explaining this surprise marriage to Max's ranch buddies is, let's just say, interesting.

Definitely, it was a fun ride. Phoebe and Max are such cute. Opposites attract + fake marriage = never disappointing *chef's kiss*. HEA? You bet your boots!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Three Cowboys and a Bride is the latest entry into the Three Cowboys Series by Kate Pearce. Secret marriage that has actually been a marriage since it first happened. Everyone is surprised to fine that Max Romero had an impulsive side to him that includes a Reno marriage. Now his bride that was Brit Phoebe Creighton-Smith needs Max’s help in convincing her family that it is a real marriage. A trust fund is at stake but more importantly are two hearts and a love that could become lasting.

A fun story with cowboys working a real ranch and a stuffy British family. Max is a guy to love, and Phoebe grows on you with time. Time that allows her to ride, rope and a life like the rest of them. An entertaining story to add to these guys HEAs.

DNF - detailed sex scenes with married couple. First fourth of the book was good until too graphic for me. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This last addition to the series, belongs to Max Romero. Four years ago, he married Phoebe Creighton-Smith, a British gal whom he has not seen since.
Imagine his surprise when she suddenly shows up requesting that he plays the husband part to her family. A deal is made, where Max tells her in turn she has to become a rancher’s wife.
From then on, the characters take the readers on a bumpy ride. But as feelings develop will they realize that maybe they are truly meant to be together?
An enjoyable addition to the series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I read and enjoy Three Cowboys and a Baby - and I loved this one, too!

Max is absolutely adorable! I definitely think *swoon* fits here.

And let's be honest. I have loved leading men in cowboy hats since middle school. Phoebe gets it.

"I've never understood why wine is warm here and beer is freezing." I loved the culture shock(s) that abound in this story.

...

"Okay. When do you want to get married?"
"You'll do it?"
"Sure. Why not? I'm all about destroying the patriarchy."

Cowboy Max Romero has returned to the ranch with his wife of 4 years. Seems he's been married and never told his best friends. He was married in Reno to a British lady name Phoebe. Phoebe has returned to America to find Max; she needs to prove to her family she does have a husband. She needed to be married to get her trust fund that her family is holding hostage too. Her father has now passed away and her brother is still holding the purse strings. Phoebe surprises everyone by willing helping with the ranch chores. She can ride and doesn't have a problem getting dirty. The longer they are together both come to realize maybe being married to each other is a good idea. But; they have to admit it to each other. They are in for a bumpy ride on HEA.
I have read the first two books and loved following the adventures of these three men. They have survived a lot since they are former military.

A little more communication would have gone a long way between Max and Phoebe. But then again we wouldn't have gotten this wonderful book if it had gone the other way. I like how well she fit in with everyone. She may be very proper but she doesn't mind getting dirty either. Also I enjoyed that this book was split between the love story of Max and Phoebe and the wedding of Noah and Jen. Almost like a two for book.

This was a really good book. This is also the third or fourth book I have read by Kate Pearce. I have read the first two books that are part of this series. This was heartfelt and romantic. It was even funny in some parts. I loved how the three men had a family bond between them. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

A good cowboy romance. Ex-military friends and allies in small town make for a fun read. Like this author and this one was no exception to a fun read. Not sure if I have read others in the series, but lots of potential for other romances for the other men. This one has Max and Brit Phoebe who get married in a rush. She needs a husband to fulfill something for her family and he agrees just because. Naturally love will follow. Enjoyed this one and would recommend.

An engaging romance. The US and UK collide in an entertaining mix of cultures. A wonderful group of friends. Family, not so wonderful. Many intimate scenes for me to skip over. The plot did keep me going. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

This is a Cowboy Romance, and this is the third book in the Three Cowboys series. I have read the first two books in this series before picking up this book. I do think you could read this book as a standalone. I got pulled into this story right away, and I did not want to put this book down. I loved the characters, and I really loved getting to understand Max's character. I really loved reading this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
