Cowboy

Busy Bean Series, Book 2

By: L.B. Dunbar

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder

Pregnant at 42? Back the cow up....

Harland Bull Eaton has lost many things - his first wife, his beloved mother, those three women he proposed to.... Oh, and there was that time he almost lost the family dairy farm due to a scandal. He's losing faith in just about everything, especially love.

But one night, his friends give him a dare. Just buy that gorgeous redhead a drink. The big-city bombshell he's set his eyes on swirls him into a tailspin that lands them in bed for a one night stand he's pretty sure he'll never forget. But this time he won't let his heart ride herd on his common sense.

Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink. Even less expected is when she raises that offer to "take me to bed, cowboy." She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong.

Turns out once won't be nearly enough. Won't ever be enough, feeling the way she does. But secrets and an unexpected surprise are a lot to handle...unless these two can break a trail to an unexpected happily ever after.

Contains mature themes.

One night stand turns into a lifetime

Great narrators whose voices were perfect for the parts they read. Liked the storyline. Cow references were funny

Jason Clarke’s voice is like velvet.

This was a really cute story. The reason I listen to it is because Jason Clarke is my new narrator crush.
 The story about a small town in Vermont and how a warm, farm family supported one another was a great listen.

Over 40 romance

I love the over 40 romance novels. It shows that there are second chances later in life and you still have a lot of life left. Love chapter 54🫶🏻 2 messy past and making it work.

Not Bad

Some parts were familiar to me and couldn't put my finger until the name Shipley was mentioned, then it clicked. I enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next story.

Really beautiful story

This story has real depth and relatable scenarios. I remained captivated throughout. Jason Clarke’s narration was EVERYTHING! I just loved him. Emma Wilder needs some work on her tones and cadence…if the story hadn’t been so good and steamy I wouldn’t have hung around because of her voice.

loved, loved, loved every moment!

I can't say enough wonderful things about story and audiobook!! Absolutely perfect performance! Loved every character and moment ! The narration is spectacular!

Wonderful story

Good story, although the ending was predictable. it was still a good story. The narration was good also.

Cowboy (Busy Bean Book 2)

UPDATE: October 2023 🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧

I found this title in my Audible Plus library the other day and jumped to listen to it because I really enjoyed the story when I read it back in 2021!

Well, it continued to be a delightfully, organic development of two adults, both with plenty of life experience that no one would fault them if they wanted to run in the opposite direction of ”romance”, but yet easily fell in step with each other forward towards ”romance”. It is honestly a spectacular journey with less than zero drama-for-drama, conflict and circumstances that were dealt in an adult manner. There is nothing that compares to a story where characters adult properly. Nothing!

I found both Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder were perfectly suited for their roles and did not just this story, but all characters the justice they deserved! It was an excellent listening experience I’d give more than a 5 star rating if that was a thing!

📚📚STORY REVIEW📚📚 MARCH 2021

I am addicted to L.B. Dunbar! I do not have this level of constant pleasure with many authors. She is unique and revered by me. If she writes it, I jump. A lot of times, when I read well penned stories, I can see myself as part of the story, a secondary character if you will. When Dunbar pens a story, I can see myself being the lead. She is ridiculously talented at writing romance for the mature person. And yes, that means over 40 LOL She hit the mark and then some with Cowboy!

The concept of this story, a surprise pregnancy, not only surprised our hero, but me as well. Going in, I thought this would be the book I read by Dunbar that would make my eyes roll, because over 40 pregnancy … whaaaaaaaaaat, but not only did she make a believer out of me, she made me swoon all over the place! Everyone made me swoon! Scarlett and Bull made for an entertaining read that I could have read for hours longer! Not everything about their story was all heats and rainbows, but it was just a swoony story even when it was dramatic! What more could you ask for?!

SCARED OF LOVE

Good story! perfect narration. kept my intrest. so lad it ended like it did. ready for book 3.

Steamy from the start!

Sweet and steamy story from chapter one! Loved the story line as it has funny parts as well as some suspense.
