4.5/5 - Texas Cowgirl by Eve Gaddy, book four in her Texas True series, has friends Damaris Walker and Nate Kershaw, who secretly have a thing for each other, start a fake relationship to fulfill Nate’s grandmother’s wish of seeing him settle down, before anything happens to her. Nate is a pilot out of the airport in Whiskey River. He and Damaris have been friends for several years. They tried dating a few years ago before Damaris “friend-zoned” him.

Nate knows he’s going to have to work hard if he is going to convince Damaris that they can be good together. He is determined not to have a “friends-with-benefits” relationship; he wants a more meaningful relationship with Damaris, not just to burn up the sheets with their sizzling chemistry.. Ms Gaddy wrote a wonderfully, sizzling and emotional story in a dual POV format that should not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with off the charts, sizzling chemistry, intense emotions, and charming secondary characters rooting for Damaris and Nate as they find love and get that future they deserve, together. I highly recommend Texas Cowgirl to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This is the fourth book of the series. The prior ones were about Damaris’ brothers. Now we have her story. I have loved all of the prior stories and was highly anticipating this one. Ms. Gabby didn’t disappoint here. While it is a part of a series, you don’t have to read the prior ones to fully understand and enjoy this one. Her brothers and their wives make appearances here and I really loved seeing that. It was like seeing old friends again! The story is written in a dual POV format. That is my favorite kind. Getting that glimpse into the character’s thoughts really help me to better understand and connect with them. Nate is a pilot out of the airport in Whiskey River. He and Damaris have been friends for several years. They tried dating a few years ago before Damaris “friend-zoned” him. After trying to move on, Nate realizes that he wants more with Damaris. The perfect opportunity comes along when his grandmother cries that she wants to see him married before she dies. As these two navigate their way into a fake relationship, they have to overcome several hurdles along the way. I truly fell in love with Nate myself when he turns down the opportunity to have a “friends-with-benefits” relationship in their fake relationship. He wants something more substantial with Damaris and not just sex. How refreshing to see a noble characteristic in a contemporary romance these days. This is a sexy read so if you aren’t into that, just a little warning. I would skip over it so I wouldn’t miss out on this great story if I were you.

We are back in Whiskey River and this time the story belongs to Damaris, another of the Walker siblings. Damaris is a cowgirl true and true, and works on the family’s ranch. After a betrayal in college, she is not interested in a relationship. Meanwhile, Nate Kershaw, is one of her best friends. He’s a pilot and considered by many, a player. What they don’t know is that he has been smitten by Damaris from day one. But she’s skittish, and he’s taking his time. That all changes when Nate’s grandmother wants him to settle down. From that point on, a fake relationship and engagement ensures. But what happens when the friendship becomes more than that? Can Nate convince Damaris the risk of giving her heart is worth it? Though it wasn’t my favorite story of the series and at times Damaris was not favorite person, it was an entertaining story and a good addition to the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
