I listened to the audio version of this Hallmark novel. I enjoyed the narration and felt like the narrator did a good job overall with the story.
Cowboy Ever After was a fish out of water tale that had a nice blend of romance and humor, but also looked into the hearts of these characters to address what their fears were and why those fears were holding them back.
I enjoyed that Kaylee and Luke were genuinely nice people. Kaylee was sometimes afraid to put herself out there and risk making a fool of herself, however, she always ended up giving whatever she tried her all. Luke was a hardworking man who did not really want someone living on his ranch for a week, yet he ended up treating Kaylee with kindness and consideration, even from the beginning.
Watching these two get to know each other and start to have feelings for each other was very sweet and satisfying. I do wish there had been an epilogue to show a bit of their life together in the future, say maybe six months to a year down the road.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK
She’s writing a romance novel…
and he’s just like the hero in her story!
Enjoy the delightful cowboy romance from Hallmark
and USA Today bestselling author Jennie Marts.
Kaylee Collins, a shy city-dweller, is writing a Western romance—and getting the details wrong. Her editor insists that Kaylee learn more about country life by spending a week at a working ranch. Kaylee reluctantly agrees as long as she can bring Gladys, her slightly overweight Corgi.
To rustle up her courage, Kaylee channels the spirit of the fearless heroine of her story. But she’s shocked when she meets Luke Montgomery—the spitting image of her handsome cowboy hero!
As far as Luke’s concerned, Kaylee’s books are pure fantasy. Love hurts, and he should know: he lost his wife a few years back. But he finds himself amused, and then enchanted, by this woman who bravely tries new things and whose heart seems to be as big as the Montana sky. Can they both dare to start a new chapter together?
This clean romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Extra Delicious Carrot Cake.
