New Release by Alexa Verde! Show Me a Stand-in Husband: Small-Town Single-Father Cowboy Romance (Cowboy Crossing Romances Book 9)
Can an accidental marriage between a rebellious cowgirl and a straitlaced single-dad doctor become true love?
After a traumatic divorce, Aurora Moore never wants to get married again. But when her rock-singer boyfriend, Ari, needs married status to clean up his act for a budding new career, she reluctantly agrees to help. What should she do when she realizes the man she just married is her boyfriend’s twin?
In Vegas for his brother’s wedding, Carter McFarland wakes up with a throbbing headache after too many painkillers—and a ring on his finger! Apparently, Ari’s drunken friends mistook Carter for Ari and dragged Carter to the altar while Ari was asleep. Annulment in order, right?
But, due to a painful secret, Carter needs a mother for his son, who takes an immediate shine to Aurora. Carter’s father threatens him with a heart attack and his grandmother with her cane when he as much as peeps that his marriage was a mistake. With time, he also senses vulnerability and kindness behind Aurora’s rebellious facade and is drawn toward the vibrant woman. But is it enough to turn a stand-in husband into a real one?
Welcome to Cowboy Crossing, a small town in the Show Me State where swoon-worthy single dad cowboys fall for strong-willed forty-something women, though sometimes those rugged handsome men might need a nudge—or a push.
my point of view:
This story was a lot of fun, and had everything I enjoy in a Christian romance! A single dad, a divorced, hurting strong female character…a little suspense, and most of all a romance story that will melt your heart! This series is full of family love, and it shows in every book. This one especially, since as much as Aurora loves her family, she really doesn’t like them interfering, lol. Coming from a large Italian family myself, I can completely understand how she feels! Alexa Verde never ceases to amaze me with her writing.
She brings characters who are real and situations such as divorce, pain and suffering, that we can all relate to. Plus, she gives us wonderful words of God’s amazing love and forgiveness.
Some Amazon reviews:
This is the long awaited book 9 of the Cowboy Crossing Romance series. Aurora and Carter’s love story is beautiful. It starts out as a mistaken identity marriage where Aurora thinks she is marrying her boyfriend, Ari, but actually marries his twin brother, Carter. They see the Hand of God at work. Carter’s son, Jaxton, is delightful and loves Aurora right away. It is great to see Aurora and her family from the other books in this one.
Once again, Alexa has written a truly remarkable book. I cannot put her books down until I have finished them and they are all must reads for everyone who loves good, clean Christian books.
Absolutely amazing book and blog. The whole series is fantastic.
Terry, you’re so kind to me! And I agree about the blog! It’s fantastic.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Loved this set!!!!
Thrilled to hear it! Thank you very much, Trudy!
I haven’t read this book yet, but I have it on my Kindle. It’s coming up.
I’ve never done anything quite like Aurora. I did move my 2 kids and me to a town where we didn’t know anyone. It was God’s plan I’m sure.
Dear Mary, I hope you’ll enjoy my new book! And moving with two children to a new town where you didn’t know anyone was very brave! Thank you for commenting.
I loved this book! Fav review!
Autumn, you’re awesome, as always! 😘
No I have never done anything this spontaneous.
Frankly, me, either! Thank you for stopping by, Kay!
I haven’t read it yet, I’ve had trouble getting my arc books. But I can’t wait!
Carol, sorry you had difficulty getting ARC!
Wow, your book sounds like a very good read, and the cover is so sweet, I love it! I have never done anything that spontaneous. Have a great rest of the week and stay safe.
Thank you for your kind words about the cover, Alicia! Have a great rest of the week and stay safe, too!
I have read just about ALL of her books and NEVER been disappointed!!! Always watching for new ones!!
Betsy, you just made my day!!! So grateful to have readers like you! Thank you so much!
An amazing story as are all the books in this series. I went zip lining once and was hooked. Just decided to try it with my sister in law. She never wanted to do it again.
Lorel, so happy you liked the series, and thank you so much for all your support! Wowzers on zip lining!
I haven’t done anything adventurous. The only thing I did was fly in an airplane during a thunderstorm.
Thanks for the chance.
I’ve neve done anything that crazy…but that’s the fun of romantic fiction
Sounds like a good story! And to answer the question I am definitely not a spontaneous person=)
I have not done anything this spontaneous!
I have to admit that when I was very young I did many spontaneous things. However, looking back they were not good decisions and I suffered.
oh but this sounds fun and humorous. I have done many spontaneous things in my life, but they were all relatively simple and fun.
