We’ve all experienced a time in our lives where we feel forgotten, overlooked, or on the outside, so Holly is easy to relate too. On the other end of the spectrum, Jet is doing everything he can to keep his family from more harm and pain.

The Mayer family is so likable, I just wanted to hang out with them throughout A Cowboy to Rely On by Jill Kemerer. This book takes a different approach to stolen identity when Holly discovers her deceased husband wasn’t the man he presented himself to be. Not in a criminal way, but in one that presented the man in a better light than his past would show.

I appreciated the friendship Holly and Jet formed while each tried to fight their attraction. And bonus: Big strong cowboy with a sweet baby girl. That’s like catnip to this particular reader. I’m looking forward to visiting Sunrise Bend (and hopefully the Mayer family) again soon.

Set in Sunrise Bend, Wyoming and populated with realistic, engaging, and relatable characters, A Cowboy to Rely On is the second in Jill Kemerer’s Wyoming Ranchers series. Kemerer is a pro at writing small-town, sweet and charming stories that warm the heart, and this one fits perfectly into that scenario. Jet Mayer is a fantastic hero—family-oriented, loyal, and compassionate. When he discovers that his deceased brother has left a wife and daughter in destitute circumstances, he brings them to his family’s ranch to heal and get back on their feet. Holly is resourceful, hard-working, and independent, but she realizes she needs some help. Jet’s family is just what she needs. Little Clara steals everyone’s heart and adds to the enjoyment of the story.

For a delightfully charming, sweet and clean read, this book is sure to melt your heart and leave you wanting to meet more Wyoming ranchers.
