Any contemporary romance reader can tell you, cowboys are hot! And no one is hotter than Joe Daniels, the sexy ranch-hand hero of Lori Wilde’s The Cowboy Takes a Bride. The first book in Wilde’s exciting series set in Jubilee, Texas—a small town full of horses, cowboys, and more romance than you can shake a stick at—The Cowboy Takes a Bride is the kind of western-set love story that bestselling romance authors Linda Lael Miller and Kat Martin are famous for. Readers who love books by Susan Wiggs, Susan Mallery, and Sherryl Woods will fall passionately in love with cowboy Joe as he and a beautiful failed wedding planner try to make a go at a falling down ranch and find that their hearts are leading them straight to the altar.

"This first book of author Lori Wilde's new JUBILEE, TEXAS series is passionate, witty and emotion-packed. When Mariah arrives at the ranch her estranged father left her in his will, she finds a naked cowboy wearing only a Stetson, sitting in a goldplated trough. He doesn't remember how he got there, but he is determined not to follow up on the instant attraction between him and Mariah. He lost his wife two years ago and just lost his best friend Dutch, Mariah's father. He could not bear to lose anyone else that he cares about. All that Mariah wants is to be herself, have her own wedding planner business and find love. She cannot help her attraction to Joe. But men have always let her down. Is there a chance that she can find the forever after type of love with Joe? Definitely a delightful story, which will have you laughing at times and close to tears at others. Not to be missed!" — Dottie (4 out of 5 stars)

“Lori Wilde has created a rich and wonderful story about the charm of small town life combined with the power and passion of first love. Delicious!”
“The beginning of The Cowboy Takes a Bride is laugh-out-loud funny. Wilde hooked me immediately with her opening line…The humor continues throughout the story…Zippy dialogue, relatable characters, and a sweet, hard-won romance make The Cowboy Takes a Bride, the first installment in Wilde’s Jubilee series, a must-add to your reading list.”
“Wilde fills this series launch with fun repartee and tugs at the heartstrings…Her fans will be eager to visit Jubilee again.”
“A wonderful story…The ending will leave readers with the desire to make return visits to Jubilee, Texas.”
" This was some good fluff. Sex scenes were awful and it lacked something but I enjoyed the story. It wasn't the greatest but it was an easy read and I finished it in no time. The characters are both wounded souls and they spend more time arguing than in love but you know they are perfect for eachother so you're not worried about it. Enjoyable if you just need a break from any stress, even book related. "
" Cute, quick read, some flaws, but a great hero and humorous moments mostly made up for them. I'll read the next in the series, Wilde writes solid romances. "
" Cute story! City girl goes back to her roots after her father passes away. Meets a damaged cowboy, sparks fly. It was fun watching them find their way to each other. It was fun watching our heroine realizing that she isn't such a city slicker herself. "
