A Thorn in the Saddle

Cowboys of California, Book 3

By: Rebekah Weatherspoon

Narrated by: Lynette R. Freeman

Set on a Black-owned luxury dude ranch with a fairy-tale twist, the third Cowboys of California romance from award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon captivates with a modern take on Beauty and the Beast, as a brawny rancher and a brainy beauty find themselves in a beast of a predicament....

Ranch owner Jesse Pleasant always felt too big for his desert town - literally - and too brutish to fit in with his charming, cowboy brothers. After his temper gets the best of him one time too many, he's ready to accept the truth: He's cursed to be alone. But when the Senate selection committee comes looking for a man of his public standing, he knows this might be his chance to prove to his family and friends that he can keep his cool, all while giving back to his community. There's only one problem. While Jesse definitely has a mind for business, his people skills are more than lacking.

Former tech consultant Lily-Grace Leroux has had it up to her hat with hot-tempered men who think they know what's best, especially a bigheaded rancher set on keeping her widowed father from dating his grandmother. But after Lily Grace learns of Jesse's softer side during a painfully awkward showing at a community date auction, one thing becomes clear; while Jesse Pleasant is not ready to run for public office, he might be ready for love. Against her better judgement and despite their rocky start, Lily-Grace warms to the sparks flying between them. She never dreamed they would build their own connection, one destined for its own happily ever after....

So good!

This was the perfect ending to the fantastic and fun trilogy. Loved every moment. Would absolutely recommend.

Love me some lack Cowboys

OMG! This book had me laughing, anxious, excited, anticipatory and in tears! I so love Jesse! Excellent book! Excellent!!!!

Yes!!!! Jesse

I Loved the vulnerability and honesty of the two main characters. I told my husband we need to listen to this together. Yes I’m reading it a second time.

Jesse was 3rd on my list

This book definitely moved him up. Halfway through he knocked Zach out of 2nd place and before the end, Sam was holding a solid 2nd place of of my favorite Pleasant Brothers!
I really enjoyed Jesse & Lily Grace's love story! The growth of the characters was amazing!

This Is My Favorite of the Three Books.

I see why Jesse is the favorite. He's mine too. I enjoyed this book. The sensitivity of Jesse. The description of him is my kind of man. He's a very sweet man. I loved their story. And loved their ranch style of living; with the personalities of the horses. This was/is a very good series.

Everyone needs a Jessie

What can I say. You saved the best for last. Although I thoroughly enjoyed EACH BROTHER & STORY, this one here concludes them all best! I need more...always want more but I'm a happy camper. Can you point me in the direction of a Black Owned Family Ranch. All these stories make you want to visit such a place!

I Love Successful Blackness 🖤

The mens strength and tenderness is what got me. I'm a dog lover also. It was beautiful how the dogs were incorporated into the storyline. Two snaps up

Sensitive

This days women don’t appreciate a man with feelings. It took a women with patience to see a good man. In this time and age men nor women don’t care to get to know each other or their feelings.
This book addresses all

Yes!

I've been waiting to hear Jesse's story since I began this series. I really loved this book.

So... Jesse is my favorite 😍

I loves this whole series, and i see why Jesse is the favorite. This is totally worth the listen.
