A Cowboy State of Mind (Creedence Horse Rescue Book 1) Kindle Edition

A brand-new series of sweet, small town cowboy romance from USA Today bestselling author Jennie Marts. The Horse Whisperer meets Hope Floats when bubbly Bryn Callahan and brooding Zane Taylor protect an unwanted horse and end up with an animal rescue operation that they can only handle when they rely on each other.

Scarred and battered loner Zane Taylor has a gift with animals, particularly horses, but he's at a total loss when it comes to knowing how to handle women. Even though he's sworn off love, he can't seem to stay away from Bryn Callahan. He's known for being a horse whisperer, but can't seem to find his voice at all where Bryn is concerned.

Bryn Callahan has a heart for strays, but she is through trying to save damaged men. She vows to only date nice guys, which is a category that does not include Zane Taylor. Too bad he's the only one who sets her pulse racing every time she's around him.

Starting a horse rescue ranch wasn't in Bryn's plan, but try telling that to the assembly of abandoned animals that have found their way to her doorstep. And when a chance encounter with a horse headed for slaughter brings Zane and Bryn together, they find themselves given a chance to save not just the horse, but maybe each other…

Praise for Caught Up in a Cowboy:

"Funny, complicated, and irresistible."—JODI THOMAS, New York Times bestselling author

"An appealing story of love rediscovered…enjoy this tender tale."—Publishers Weekly

"Full of exquisite heat and passion…an enthralling combination of intense moments, playful banter, and great depth of emotion."—Harlequin Junkie

"Magnetic... Marts delights with this tale of romance and recovery." ―Publishers Weekly

About the Author

Jennie Marts is the USA Today bestselling author of award-winning books filled with love, laughter, and always a happily ever after. Readers call her books “laugh out loud” funny and the “perfect mix of romance, humor, and steam.” Fic Central claimed one of her books was “the most fun I’ve had reading in years.”

She is living her own happily ever after in the mountains of Colorado with her husband, two dogs, and a parakeet who loves to tweet to the oldies. She’s seen every episode of Survivor and loves macaroni and cheese. She’s addicted to Diet Coke, adores Cheetos, and believes you can’t have too many books, shoes, or friends.

Her books range from Western romance to cozy mysteries but they all have the charm and appeal of quirky small town life. She loves genre-mashups, like adding romance to her Page Turners cozy mysteries and creating the hockey-playing cowboys in the Cowboys of Creedence. The same small town community comes to life with more animal antics in her Creedence Horse Rescue series. And her sassy heroines and hunky heroes carry over in her heartwarming, feel-good romances from Hallmark Publishing.

A Cowboy State of Mind is the first book in the Creedence Horse Rescue series by Jennie Marts.
Two people drawn to each other but one of them keeps putting up roadblocks due to a dark and abusive past. I loved this book. The story is original, and the characters are amazing. I consider this to be a must read if you like hot cowboys, strong willed women and romance.

He comes back home to take care of his abusive dad. She’s the waitress that serves him breakfast and he’s likes her. But he’s been told so often he’s worthless that he won’t let himself fall for her. But he fixes her car, rescues a horse and helps her get her stolen truck back. It’s a fight but they find a way to each other.

Small town living at it's best. Bryn is a waitress at the local diner living on the house left to her by her grandfather. Zane is the son of the town drunk, who was at the mercy of his father's temper growing up abused both mentally and physically.

There's a spark whenever Zane visits the diner but he doesn't feel good enough for Bryn. The day a couple of drifters show up with a neglected horse in a trailer changes both their lives.

They inadvertently start an animal rescue operation at Bryn's ranch. The town rallies around Bryn's new adventure and the fun begins. Doubts creep in for Zane in their relationship and he questions his worth and value. Can he overcome the emotional abuse to accept love?

You'll want to read this one to find out. Now on to book 2?

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Marts, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bryn and Zane's story, and those of the animals, made me laugh and made me cry. I am a sucker for a story of people rising up to face their past, their hurts, and reaching for something more. Add in an animal rescue, and I want to read it. Ms. Marts drew me in with the story line, and kept me hooked with her excellent writing and strong characters. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Overall fun read. Amusing and steamy. Engaging characters with solvable issues. Excessively angsty toward the end, but delivers on a HEA.

One of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Bryn and Zane is amazing and with Zane's scars making him feel like a monster, Bryn is perfect for bringing him out of his insecurities. Beautifully written and a real page turner. Can't wait for the next book to come out.
