Date with a Cowboy (Wyle Away Ranch, #5)

by Kelly Oram

What could be worse than being sold off to the highest bidder? Falling for the woman responsible for putting him on the auction block.

Cattle rancher Preston Wyle gave up dating after a disastrous breakup. Years later, his older brothers give him constant grief about getting back in the saddle. But Preston has more important things to do than finding a woman—like stepping out on his own and running his own ranch.

When Preston asks for his inheritance early, in the form of the deed to Coyote Glen Ranch, his meddling brothers make him a deal—the deed for a date. The ranch is hosting a charity fundraiser, and the publicist in charge thinks auctioning off a date with Preston is the key to success. After all, who could resist a date with a gorgeous, hard-working cowboy?

No way does Preston want to be auctioned off for the night, but this is his chance to win the ranch, and there’s just something about the pretty publicist he can’t refuse.

Date with a Cowboy is the fifth and final novel in the Wyle Away Ranch series of feel-good, laugh-out-loud romantic comedies about five brothers who each find their happily ever afters. This country boy/city girl clean and wholesome romance can be read as a stand-alone but is better read in order.

Almost 3.5 stars. Kelly Oram's story is fun and the situation lends itself to be quite amusing. Preston and Kenzie are cute and the banter when they get going teasing and challenging each other is well done.

But the end is too much at the end for two reasons. 1. They barely kiss and then they're getting married? Sure that works for the characters but when does the reader get to experience them together having figured things out? Like a post-story scene would be nice. It's like a Larry Levinson movie where they come together in the last 30 seconds and the end of the movie is their first kiss. 2. After having read the first four books, this jump forward in time shows the lingering relationships that we saw build in the earlier books. It's nice and it accentuates how abruptly this one ends because we don't get anything of Preston and Kenzie as far as lingering or life together or anything.

Still the banter! Jaxon is finally as much fun in this one as he was in The Girl and the Cowboy Next Door. I enjoyed that he was so much a part of both Landon and Preston's stories. The family, the atmosphere, the vibe of the whole thing is fun. And every time they say “ma'am” it's too adorable.
