The sexy rancher is clearly not interested in long-term. In fact, he’s not interested, period. But Emma is determined to change his mind until his cousin, Gabe Buchanan, puts a definite crimp in her perfect plans.

Gabe has come to help his cousin with work around the ranch while struggling to unravel his next book plot. The last thing he expected to find was literary inspiration in the curvaceous cowgirl pining over his cousin. Determined to prove he is the right match for her, he devises a plan to win Emma’s heart.

As much as Emma wants her childhood crush to finally take notice, she can’t help but be intrigued by the sizzling hot and funny Gabe. When he asks her out, she can’t say no. Besides, it’s just a friendly dinner. No big deal. Yet when the lines between casual and interested blur, neither can deny the chemistry between them.

Can Gabe fill every box on Emma’s checklist and give her what she needs the most? His heart and a future together?

REVIEW:The Wrong Cowboy is book one in the Granite Junction series by Megan Ryder. This book seems to be an extension of The Redemption Ranch series, but could absolutely be read as a stand-alone.

In Redemption Ranch we met Emma and Cam. It seemed like they were destined to be together. Emma finished college, got a job – everything was going according to her meticulously planned life. That is until Cam’s cousin Gabe Buchanan comes to town. Gabe is in town to work on his next novel.

Emma is bound and determined that her life is supposed to have Cam in it, just one problem – Cam only sees her as a little sister. When Gabe comes to town and finds out that Cam just doesn’t see Emma the way he does, he decides to make his move. But Emma isn’t having any of it. But slowly and surely Gabe inches his way into her life. Once Emma realizes that Cam isn’t interested she devises a plan to make him jealous, with his own cousin.

Her pride takes a hit when she realizes that Cam isn’t jealous at all. At the encouragement of her girlfriends she decides to have fun with Gabe while he is here. Stepping out of her comfort zone, her relationship with Gabe begins to grown.

Emma is a straight shooter. She knows what she wants out of life and she has lists and planners to prove it. But when Cam doesn’t reciprocate the feelings she has for him, she is quite hurt and torn. Can she find happiness with someone else other than Cam? Could it be Cam’s cousin?

Gabe is one of those flirty, fun loving cowboys. While he has turned his back on the family ranch – he has made his own way in the world as an author. Despite what his family thinks, he is succeeding. But Gabe gets in his own way when it comes to Emma. He sees things that aren’t there. He knows that Emma has been in love with Cam for quite some time, is there even a chance that she will even consider a Relationship with him?

I loved that we still got to see characters from the Redemption Ranch series here. It was like homecoming. There is a lot of love in these families and I was so excited that the stories crossed over. I can’t wait to see who Cam ends up with – he deserves some love! And ohhhhh the new owner of Cam’s ranch? What is that going to bring? Can’t wait to find out.!
