Find Cowboy (Busy Bean, #2) Written By L.B. Dunbar Distributed As Interactive EBook
this series, each book is written by a different author, which is both interesting and also indicative of how homogeneous a lot of romance writing is, as I could've easily missed that although I assume they're trying to achieve a certain level of consistency.
Anyway! This one is a briefly secret pregnancy romance I had a truly terrible time during both my pregnancies, so unfortunately all of the sex scenes so, so many sex scenes just made me cringe it's also just really not my thing.
Nice to see grown ups dealing with their issues by taking them out, though, and the drama being driven by an actual consistent plot, rather than the usual manufactured misunderstandings.
Ok no, gross. Chapterstarts out with a sex scene with “hilt deep” in the first line,
The sex is interspersed with the heroines POV as she contemplates her past relationship, best friend, work life, the furniture, the heros friends, all while every other line is “thick shaft balls deep” and “musky scent.
. . sticky skin” and “his nervous stuttering” and “never had a headboard like this”,
I mean, really Nope, Out of here. DNF
Edit: ok, so I read a little on thinking maybe I was being too harsh, The writing seemed ok and light for the next couple of chapters but then I find out soo.
. . yea. Right call. I knew walking into Cowboy by L, B. Dunbar that this was a one night stand novel and that's a trope that I normally enjoy, However, Cowboy opens with a sex scene and so it took me a bit to get into this story, Scarlett and Bulls meet cute is told in flashbacks during that opening sex scene and so it just made it hard to
connect to them or the story, One thing this book taught me, . . I like to know the characters first before I see them jumping into bed together, Overall, I did end up enjoying the book and watching these two unlucky at love lovers come together and find their HEA but I didn't love the MCs as much as I fell for the secondary characters in the story: Rita, Canyon and Blade.
They really stole the show in the scenes they were in, The side characters also showed more maturity at times than Bull and Scarlett did so it was good that the MCs had them to keep them in line otherwise they may not have ended up together.
Scarlett and Bull are quick to let misunderstands get in the way and much of their issues hinges on the fact that they don't communicate very well with each other.
Which makes sense as they really don't know each other when they learn that their one night stand ends up in an unexpected pregnancy so there is a lot of getting to know each other on top of all the other angst in the story.
I didn't fall head over heels in love with Cowboy but it was a quick read and I enjoyed seeing the True North world through another authors eyes, If you like the one night stand/unplanned pregnancy trope then changes are you'll enjoy this book as well, I cannot take seriously three bachelor brothers named Bull, Blade and Canyon who regularly drink milk with dinner, Sorry, even I have my limits, Also Bull was sort of an ass, .
Also Bull has a real fetish for pregnancy, It is good that he found her sexy as she inflated but I will just say that if you are shooting for sexy talk the work "lactate" should never be part of your game.

Bull and Scarlett!! What a breath of fresh air reading about characters above the age ofdealing with the same problems of the younger generation but in a more mature sometimes manner.
I loved the whole pregnancy afterand how often Scarlett got offended by being referred to as "old" or "geriatric" and don't get me started on Bull and his studly activities.
These two were adorable together and the perfect couple! A poignant story that tugged at my heartstrings, It's all about Fears. “Fear of being left behind, Fear of rejection. Fear of not being good enough, " and then there's salvation in form of someone holding on to your hand and saying, . . "You are worthy of love, You are not going to be left behind by me, "
What starts as a gossip rag scandal soon destroys lives and hearts and it's Ripple effect touches everyone involved
A story of trust and faith, kinds of which get tested time and again by Harland bull Eaton who has a heart as big as the cattle ranch he owns with his family.
"Perpetual Proposer, Mr. Bovine King himself. "”
It's open to love as the earth he stands on is open to the blue sky above, He lives big, loves big and has been betrayed big, Behind the image of a handsome silver fox was a good man who'd had bad luck with women, A supposed one night rendezvous turns into a lifetime bungling mistake and we get to see the beautiful story come to life,
"Were ships passing in the night, and I want to moor her to me, I want us to move in the same direction, toward my bedroom, toward my bed, "
I'm forever a fan of silver foxes of Dunbar, she shows us there's life, possibility of love and hope of finding a partner, a family after, This has been so wonderfully shown in this sweetheart story,
You're YOU Dunbar!
Bull was plain adorable, too innocent and too trusting, Scarlett has so much compassion, so much character, I became her instant fan, I wish to read Canyon and Blades story soon
,for Bovine Bridegroom and Staying Scarlett

Spoiler Free
L, B. Dunbar really took this idea of people who have lived lives, had the mistakes and scars from them, and gave them a chance at true happiness, Oh, how I love when that happens, I have nothing against writers who do the New Age Thing or limit their focus to those in theirs, . . but nothing makes me happier than an author who sees more, . . who sees the rest of the population that is overand still interested in relationships, romance, and hot, hot sex,
Yes, staggering as it may seem, . . People overand more, shock of shock, have a serious sex drive, They have figured out how to have sex and enjoy it, Just because you may have lived a bit, that doesn't stop you from having the need and desired to love and be loved,
So L. D. Dunbar is my hero because Cowboy Busy Bean,is all about two people in thes who like sex, do it very well, and also connect on a new personal level they hadn't experienced before.
Scarlett Russell was having a day, She was just told she no longer had a job after being there for years, Stunned this could happen to her, she went to the hospital where her surgeon husband worked, She thought she and her doctor husband had a reconnection last night and searched for him at the hospital to talk about how they could refocus on their marriage,
Instead, when she found her husband, he was standing near this young nursing student as if it meant something, Turns out it did She was pregnant and they were going to marry as soon as he divorced Scarlett, It was rather ironic as he had stopped Scarlett from having kids,
So the only thing Scarlett could do was to go to her best friend Rita's place, Rita insisted she come to Vermont and she would take good care of her, Scarlett went and her friend did take care to make things better,
Harland Bull Eaton is one of those guys women dream about, Yes, he is solid, handsome, and a presence, . . but he is more than that, He is "quoteone of the good onesunquote, " He is a hardworking dairy farmer along with his brothers and family, Doing that type of work is not for everyone, the long hours are killer, Most women are not cut out for this type of life but that did not stop Harlen from putting himself out there, He did it about three times, each with the women leaving him, . . causing him to now have PTSD about his feelings for love and trusting them,
Both of these people are not looking for any type of relationship or commitment or anything, Yet, the need to get over whatever had brought them to this moment in time is front and center, All things happen for a reason and Harlen and Scarlett end up in the same bar with their friends guiding them to let loose and get laid, no strings attached.
So when Harlen is pushed to ask Scarlett if he can buy her a drink, Scarlett decides to take it where it really needs to go, . . and boy, do they.
SIDE NOTE: The chemistry, the way it is written, the feelings of it all, . . So Friggin' Good. Just, sayin'
These two hook up, with the idea of a onenight stand and as the blurb lets you know, . . Baby is happening. Yes, this baby is a major part of this story but there is so much more happening than that, It is a look at how fear, the need to trust, and the questions of whether to, are a serious part of it, Lots of internal growth for both and it isn't overnight, We go through a real journey with these characters and their family and friends, It worked on so many levels because, in real life, nothing is a straight line,
As you can tell, I really loved this book and cannot wait for more from this Busy Bean series,
