Book Description:
Dalton J. Vargas the fourth has sworn off love. Women are just a distraction that keep him from running his family’s multi-million-dollar guest ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona. After his father announces an early retirement, the full burden of the ranch rests on his shoulders. When a city-slicker romance author stays at the ranch, Dalton’s perfect world turns to chaos.
River Sloane’s last workplace romance novel flopped—big time. Now her publisher wants her to write a modern-day cowboy romance, which she has resisted for years. When her publisher sends her to a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere Arizona, she must learn about cowboys and ranching to get her career back on track. One hunky cowboy stirs her heart and unexpectedly becomes her muse.
Will she let herself fall in love with the real cowboy or will she return to the life she left behind? Will Dalton open his heart to a new, lasting love?

Review By LAWonder10:
In the Book Falling For A Real Cowboy, Dalton is distracted from overseeing the ranch by a beautiful Blonde guest. She is totally out of his league and a distraction he needed to avoid as much as he can.
River was an author from the eastern part of the world. Her publisher insisted she write the next book about the Amish or Cowboys. She knew little of either culture but she had read cowboy romance books. Once she conceded, she was enrolled at a Guest Ranch in some remote place in Arizona to learn about rach life. She had six weeks to create this new novel.
River’s experiences for the next six weeks were bittersweet from the arrival in Arizona onward… Experiences that would change her life forever!
This book was never boring. The characters were endearing and felt very real. The scenes were easily visualized. There were Christian enhancements and was very clean.
The end of the novel held a surprise, short book 2 that a reader will not want to miss.
I listened to the audio with an Audible digital narrator. It was very good and the voices were mostly complimentary.
I offer a Five-Stars rating.
This audio was gifted to me with no pressure to post a positive review.
