My review:  The Cowboy's Surprise Baby  by Deb Kastner (Cowboy Country)

4 STARS

The Cowboy's Surprise Baby is full of good characters, charming baby and troubled teens.  Lots of drama, cute story. It is a clean read.

Cole Bishop has left the military to come home and raise his new born son Grayson. He never planned to come back and live. He was embrassed in front of the whole town.  He got a new job working as a wrangler on a Redemption Ranch.

Tessa Applewhite is a counselor for the girls who were sent to Redemption Ranch.  She broke up with Cole when she was 18 in public.  She had loved him but did not want a life in the military anymore.

Serendipity , Texas on Redemption Ranch is the setting for the book.  It is a small town.  Redemption Ranch is a mission ranch that help troubled teens with hard work and Christian values.

I liked the story it was easy to connect with the characters and want them to do well.  It deals a lot with single parenthood that is unexpected.  It also talks about prayer, love and God's plans.

I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Harlequin.  In return I agreed to give honest review of The Cowboy's Surprise Baby.
