Single dad raising his baby girl with the help of his two cowboy friends. Did I mention that all three men are sexy AF and looks good in a pair of Wrangler jeans? Ummm, do I have your attention now because in Joya Ryan’s newest release, The Rancher and the City Girl, she has me eager in finding and wrangling myself a cowboy.

Sweet single dad romance for some reason always seem to be my jam. For some reason, I find myself practically always devouring these type of tropes. Maybe it’s the fact that I love reading about those single dads who you know have good hearts and intentions when it comes to raising their kids. And in The Rancher and the City Girl, the number one girl in Tripp Montgomery’s heart has always been his baby girl, Gracie. Ever since Gracie’s mother left, Tripp has been raising Gracie with the help of his two best friends Cash and Bo as all three men run and manage a cattle ranch.With work and taking care of Gracie, Tripp’s love life is nonexistent even though he is one of the town’s most eligible bachelors.
Charlotte Gram is a freelance web designer from California who is in town visiting her grandmother, who is recovering from surgery. On her first day in Wyoming, Charlotte runs into car trouble and it so happens that Tripp was there to help her out. So when Charlotte and Tripp decides to meet up later that night at a local bar, things begins to heat up. Both are wildly attracted to one another and so when they both decided on a one night stand since what are the odds of them meeting again. Well the odds are in their favor as it turns out that Charlotte’s grandmother happens to be Tripp's next door neighbor.

Staying away from Charlotte proved harder since every time Tripp saw her, he had so many dirty thoughts running rampant. But when Charlotte accidentally meets his daughter, it scared Tripp because he doesn’t want his daughter to get hurt and form an attachment with Charlotte. Well Gracie couldn’t stay away from Charlotte as these two easily formed a friendship and soon Tripp and Charlotte found themselves forming a different kind of relationship. A relationship that was transitioning from passion into something of the forever kind. But what happens when Charlotte must return back to California, will Tripp be able to let her go? Or will this city girl trade in her designer heels for some cowboy boots and wrangle herself a rancher?
The Rancher and the City Girl was a sweet, sexy, and sultry romance that had that Western cowboy charm. Maybe it’s the simplicity or maybe it’s Gracie and her sweet nature, or just maybe it’s Tripp Montgomery. Well either way, I like to think it’s the culmination of all three as to why this book was an amazing read. Joya did a fantastic job balancing romance and real life emotions especially when it came to Tripp and Charlotte. So if you are looking for a sexy and entertaining read that was hot, romantic, and adorable then I highly recommend you to read this book. Trust me Joya Ryan never disappoints as her stories always have heat and heart.
