This was another good book in this series. I would have enjoyed this one a lot more if there wasn't constant pushing away of the other by both MCs. One of my big pet peeves in a story is making decisions for other people. Saying you're doing something for the good of someone else, without asking what they think, is just crappy IMO. And really, Jillian never really stuck to her word. She was constantly giving Ethan mixed signals. I thought Ethan was a good guy, and I liked that he was willing to be there for Milo too. Until I wanted to smack him. When the drama starts and he accuses her of something, he didn't even take into consideration the facts of the situation. He's supposed to be a cop, you'd think there would have been a little more thought there. All in all, I did enjoy the story. I loved the scenes with Milo and Jillian, she was a really great mom. Amos was a hoot, and the story line with Mrs. Miriam had me tearing up. The ending was very sweet, and I thought it was perfect for these 2. I hope this series has at least one more story (Carley and Knox), but if not, I will still be looking out for whatever is next from this author.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

Never Enough Cowboy is a feel good Western Romance full of both likable, relatable characters and quirky animals including a flower wearing pig and it left me with a huge grin on my face.

As single mum Jillian and her ten-year-old son Milo are wooed by local sheriffs deputy Ethan. But Jillian is determined not to let anyone close until Milo is in college.

However, Ethan and a hungry goat have other ideas. Yet, both of these characters have issues to overcome if they are to be together.

And with relatable situations, wonderful secondary characters, humour, sweetness and great pacing. This really was the light hearted read I was looking for and it's one I'd happily recommend to others.

**Thanks Sourcebooks Casablanca for the opportunity to read Never Enough Cowboy**

I love this series so, of course, I love this new addition. The chemistry between Jillian and Ethan was off the charts. I really liked that they became friends with benefits so quickly because I knew this would help Jillian. She is so reluctant but there's no denying that she's just as drawn to Ethan, as he is to her.
I loved seeing characters from past books.
And I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Single mother Jillian came to Creedence, Colorado looking for a better environment for her son. She's the new head librarian, who divides her time between her son, her job, and volunteering at the horse rescue ranch. So romance is the furthest thing from her mind but finds herself flirting with deputy Ethan when he's around.

After coming to her rescue, he blurts out a proposal. Ethan is not this impulsive but something about Jillian that calls to him. And soon he's building bonds with both Jillian and her son Milo.

But Jillian's past does make her hesitate. He's running to be the new sheriff of Creedence and she's afraid of her past being used to hurt his campaign. She tries to end things but Ethan isn't ready to give up.

Thanks so much to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC to review.

What do you do when the cowboy/sheriff that you've been flirting with for the past few weeks asks you to marry you? Well, if I was Jillian, I would've accepted the first time. Add Ethan Rayburn to the top of my "book boyfriends" list.

Jillian is a single mom who has just moved to a small ranch town to be with her sister and volunteer at a horse rescue. Ethan Rayburn is the town sheriff who fell for Jillian the moment he met her. Worried about her past catching up to her, Jillian tries to deny Ethan's advances. With a ten year old son (who is adorable) and a new job, Jillian worries that a whirlwind romance will cast a negative light on both her and Ethan, especially as he gears up for a local town election. Jillian is a stronger woman than I am, because when Ethan pulled out the sugar cube, reminding me of Finnick from the Hunger Games only steamier, I was sold.

Their friendship and the way that they cared for one another really shined. You know on sitcoms when the writers set up two characters that you know are going to fall in love but you're going to have to wait for the next season for them to give in to temptation? Never Enough Cowboy is like that, except it drops you right in the beginning of that new season. These characters have an affectionate relationship with each other from the get go, and it is really beautiful to watch as their relationship evolves and develops as they get to know each other better.

This book has the perfect level of spice for a newer romance reader. It's steamy without being too spicy. Most intimate moments could be considered "fade to black," but I was never left feeling like I was cheated out of a moment. Ethan is so swoon worthy. I'm obsessed with any man that falls first and gets tongue tied around a woman, but isn't weak. Like the Rayburn men like to say, when you know, you know.

The book also features a fun cast of side/background characters, so if those are your favorite kinds of books (they definitely are mine) then you need to get into this series now! This is the first book I've read by Marts, but I. AM. HOOKED. I can't wait to go and binge this series from the beginning and follow with them to the future. (Maybe a Carley and Knox book?*wink* *wink*)

This story is sugary sweet. I was cranky any time I had to put it down to get any actual work done. Looking forward to all this author has coming in the future!

Thank you to Net Galley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for early access to this book in exchange for an honest review. ❤️

Thank you to the publisher for giving me an ARC. My opinions in this review are not affected by getting the ARC.

This is the 4th book in the Creedence Horse Rescue series. I haven't read the previous books but each can be read as standalone stories.

I thought Jillian and Ethan were really cute and I loved how kind he was to her son, Milo.

Ethan is the town sherriff and Jillian is the head librarian. She has recently moved to Colorado from California with her son and Ethan is crazy about her. Her past threatens to drive them apart and Ethan has to prove his feelings for her.

It is a very cute story.
