What would it take to tame a wild cowboy?

One minute, Rhett Lockhart is a love ‘em and leave ‘em bull rider with a slow, sexy smile, a swagger, and not a care in the world. The next, he learns his free-wheeling days are over: a baby has been abandoned in the hospital, and there’s no question: he’s the father. But from the first moment he gazes into his daughter’s eyes, he knows the moment has come to say ‘no’ to no-strings. It’s time to grow up.

Standing in his way is the baby’s foster mother, Tara Alzate, who doesn’t quite believe Rhett is ready to change his ways. Still, she’s not not immune to his considerable charms. So when he proposes a marriage of convenience and shared custody, against her better judgement, she says “I do.” Can Tara tame this wild cowboy and make her own, long-buried dreams come true?

To Tame a Wild Cowboy is the seventh book in Lori Wilde's Cupid, Texas series, and my first read from the series. I didn't have a problem starting with this book though and I would say it could be read as a standalone. But if you like the book as much a I did you will definitely want to go back and read the previous ones.

Now, I'm not usually a big fan of the secret baby trope, but in this book it definitely worked for these characters. I enjoyed getting to see Rhett take the responsibility of having a daughter so seriously and I loved the sweetness of getting to see him lean on Tara for help. It wasn't always easy for them but they really came together when it mattered and I thought the story perfectly depicted how perfect they were together.

Bottom line, I definitely recommend reading this book if you're looking for a sexy as sin cowboy that has some adorable chemistry with a caring NICU nurse. The book is intriguing right from the start and will have you wanting to abandon reality as you read.
