About the book:
Groom by Agreement
A real home—it’s what Vienna Howe dearly wants for her young daughter. Yet the ramshackle property she just inherited hardly qualifies. She can’t afford the repairs—until foreman West McCall suggests they start a dude ranch together. For propriety’s sake, they’ll need a marriage in name only…a practical solution for two wary hearts.
Years ago, West convinced Vienna to marry a man of means, never realizing how cruel her husband could be. Guilt-ridden, he intends to secure the lovely widow’s future. But despite his reluctance to get close to anyone, this union might do more than fix Vienna’s ranch. It could open the door to a warm, loving future…

My thoughts:
After reading (and loving!) the first book in this series, The Rancher's Temporary Engagement, I was excited to read A Cowboy of Convenience. It did not disappoint.
I loved the setting and concept of the story. It was written very well and held my attention throughout. The main characters from book one made appearances in this novel, which I loved, and it was neat to see how things were going for them.
I really liked the romance in this book and I loved how West was so caring towards Hattie (the heroine's daughter). There were some true heartwarming moments that made me smile. :)
I've yet to dislike a Stacy Henrie novel and can say that she is one of my favorite historical writers. I definitely recommend this one.

So glad this one didn't disappoint! Thanks for reading and reviewing it. Both couples, Maggy and Edward and Vienna and West, make an appearance in the last book too. :)
