How to Handle a Cowboy
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A romantic, funny contemporary cowboy romance full of rodeo champions, rambunctious kids, and southern-fried second chances. If you thought the only cowboys were in Texas, welcome to Joanne Kennedy's Wynott, Wyoming, and the Cowboys of Decker Ranch.
Desperate to find an outlet for the passion he used to put into competing, bull rider Ridge Cooper takes on the challenge of teaching his roping skills to five troubled ten-year-olds in a last-chance home for foster kids, and finds it's their feisty supervisor who takes the most energy to wrangle.
When social worker Sierra Dunn seeks an activity for the rebellious kids at Phoenix House, she soon learns she's not in Denver anymore. Sierra is eager to get back home to her inner-city work, and the plan doesn't include forming an attachment in Wyoming—especially not to a ruggedly handsome and surprisingly gentle local rodeo hero. But as she watches Ridge give his heart to kids who need forever homes, she realizes she's finally found her forever cowboy.

Starred review from April 1, 2014
Kennedy's authentic depiction of the contemporary West is both realistic and romantic. Sierra Dunn, with degrees in law enforcement and social work, would rather be making high-level decisions in Denver that would benefit hundreds of kids, but instead she is running a group home called Phoenix House in the small town of Wynott, Wyoming, where she is riding herd on five troubled 10-year-old foster boys. Ridge Cooper, a local rancher and former rodeo cowboy, ends up volunteering at Phoenix House, and visits to his ranch open up a whole new world for the boys. Danger looms in the form of a very scary man exhibiting an interest in Jeffrey, perhaps the most damaged of the children. Without being overly graphic, Kennedy deftly conveys the horrors that landed the boys in foster care and, most importantly, illuminates the emerging love that turns disparate survivors into a family. While the sex scenes are hot, Kennedy's forte is in making relationships genuine and heartfelt as she exposes vulnerabilities with tenderness and good humor. This is a terrific feel-good read with just the right amount of page-turning suspense.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
