Rating: 4.00 (2 reviews)

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Prism Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

A future husband list, will it work?

The Cowboy's Perfect Match by Cathy McDavid is the second book in this beautiful series. We pick up in May and end in July, I'm guessing, in this fascinating book. Ryan and Bridget are funny together from the moment that their paths cross.

Bridget O'Malley

Bridget O'Malley is the oldest of her and her sister, Molly O'Malley, who are working for their grandma at The Sweetheart Ranch. She has always been a fabulous cook right after culinary school and working somewhere else her Grandma Em brings her back home back in November for the opening of The Sweetheart Ranch. Bridget is one of those people that love to make lists and finding that Mr. Right is her main objective. Especially after her little sister and grandma start playing matchmaker with her.

What I like about Bridget O'Malley is that throughout the book, she is evolving and you can see her light up. She is a great cook that takes a simple meal and expands it into something more. The guests love it, and sometimes her grandma Em doesn't. The one thing that I dislike about her is her list of what her future husband should be.

Ryan DeMeres

Ryan DeMeres is a house flipper of horse ranches and is looking for a job. Hence why he is now the new wrangler at The Sweetheart Ranch. Ryan is good at all of the wrangling duties; however, he might have bitten off more than he can chew with the house that he is flipping. OK, not only with the house but with Bridget as well. He does make some right decisions than he starts to make some bad decisions. Like always, everything turns out for the best toward the end of the book, and it's an excellent thing.

What I like about Ryan DeMeres is that just like Bridget, he is evolving and admits when he has messed up. He is excellent with animals and especially with kids. What I dislike about him is that he doesn't think that he is good enough for Bridget without checking off all her boxes on her list. The other thing that I dislike about him is that he has a plan and is trying to make that it go a lot faster than scheduled.

Five Stars

I am giving The Cowboy's Perfect Match by Cathy McDavid a five-star rating and recommending it to everyone who likes cowboys and Harlequin Heartwarming. The Cowboy's Perfect Match by Cathy McDavid is a great book that had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing. Everything about this novel is awesome, and I can't wait to see more of the Sweetheart Ranch series.

The best laid plans. . .

"Bridget determined not to make a mistake in the choice of her future spouse, and therefore she has compiled a list of exactly what she is looking for. And Ryan knows that he doesn’t want to have his family struggle financially as his own parents did, so he is determined to not marry until he is financially secure.

You know, “best-laid plans”, right?

I really appreciated the fact that the author didn’t make Ryan a playboy just because he wasn’t ready to settle down. His sense of humor and playfulness made him a fun hero. His deep love for his family and desire to help his parents made him even more appealing.

Bridget’s attempts at flirting with the local doctor were cute. The fact that she was not an experienced flirt made her more likable and relatable. It was fun to see her obsession with food and presentation and the things that she did to make the meals at the ranch memorable.

One scene I particularly enjoyed was when Bridget was giving Ryan a tour of the ranch and brought him to the golf cart. His reaction and the ensuing teasing was cute.

Bridget was a little bit judgmental. She assumed things about Ryan based on what she saw and knew, and he didn’t come out very favorably. She was also a bit obsessed with her biological clock ticking away – with more mentions than seemed necessary for me to understand her concern.

The story did drag in a few places and a couple of descriptions of things made me want to skip over them. One instance listed items on the menu. Later, this got better with the way meals were described.

Though this is part of a series, I didn’t feel lost not having read other books by this author.

If you are looking for a light-hearted cowboy romance, this could be a good book to consider.
