Cowboy Crazy (The Dalton Boys Book 1) Kindle Edition
Hank Dalton yearns to run his own spread, but more than that, he longs for a woman to call his own. Paradise Valley is far from civilization, though, and that makes finding the perfect match difficult. Not many women like being two hours from a major supermarket or mall.
Charlotte Halton is on the run. Poor choices have left her with scars—in and out. After her powerful boyfriend left her drugged and set their apartment on fire, she’s just trying to put the pieces of her life back together. Abandoning all she knows seems like the best decision she’s ever made. At least until her car breaks down in the middle of cattle country.
When a pretty little woman is delivered into Hank’s hands, he believes it was fate that kept him from joining his brothers for a “wife hunt” in the city. But she’s leery of men and hiding something dark. Can Hank tap into the attraction they both feel before she drives away?

- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024I really enjoyed the story. Definitely brought tears to my eyes. Wanted to shake Charlotte a few times. I was yelling at my kindle, if she didn't want him I would definitely take him. Wish we got more at the end than we did. Ended too abruptly for me, a small epilogue would have been great. Hopefully we get more about them in the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 20143.5 Lost Gal, Found Cowboy Stars * * * 1/2
Are you looking for a little diversion... a little somethin', somthin' for an afternoon or early evening to enjoy.... Well, let me tell you about a place in Texas called Paradise Valley and the 5 strappin' fellas who are in need to get married...
It seems their parents have decided the boys need to find their women folk and settle down...and the best way to encourage it is to stipulate they need to marry to their share of the ranch... . How they are to find these women... and ones which will be ok living out in the middle of nowhere on a ranch...well... that is not the parents' problem... the boys just need to make it happen.
While this hard fact is being told to the Dalton sons, Charlotte is starting her new life. She is driving from Arizona with just a suitcase and a few bucks, looking for a small town to discover herself. She just survived an intended death sentence from an ex boyfriend. He drugged her and left her to burn in the fire he started in her apartment. She was saved by neighbors and undergone skin grafting leaving her scarred on the hip and in her mind.
She is driving out in this valley when deer or some type of wild life come out of no where and she brakes the car so as not to hurt them. Mission accomplished, no deer were injured... just her old car... it won't start...at all. She remembers some house about 10 minutes away, she has no cell service and the sun is setting... she settles in to spend the night in her car...
As luck would have it, one of the brothers, Hank drives by and sees her stranded. He stops and while checking out the car, he checks her out, too.
Hank is the real deal. He was raised old school; manners, respect for women and others were drilled into him by his mama. He tips his hat and treats Charlotte like she is special and a lady. He sees the car is needing an overhaul. He offers to take her to the ranch and help her with the car the next day. Charlotte feels comfortable enough to go with him.
As they are in the truck... both are evaluating each other. She sees the handsome, chiseled cowboy next to her... so different from what she is used to... so real and authentic. He sees a perky, pretty gal... with bright eyes and perfect curves for her frame and topped off with pretty pink toenails which catch his eye.
Hank feels a need to protect this gal... he is wanting to make all things easy for her... he senses she has a deep dark story to tell... and he is willing to wait it out...
She is responding to the old fashioned way Hank is with her... opening doors and picking up plates after the meal his mom gave them. He even changed all the sheets and quilts in his room for her...as he set her there to sleep on her own... kind of a way to claim her for himself.
Both feel the pull and Hank decides to take things slow so as not to spook her... he will take his time fixing her car and she can help in the house while it is happening... giving him a chance to woo her... because for Hank... land or no land... Charlotte is his... and he knows it.
This was a sweet dreamy little story... you felt you were out on a ranch in the middle of no where... but calm about it all. You could see how people would love the land and life.
The budding affection these two had was so sweet and built in a way, when they did get together... it was steamy and you could sense there was more to it then just hooking up...
The only downside was no epilogue...it really deserved one.
This is a series and the brothers are on a mission to get married in order to get their part of the ranch. Another brother will have their book in October 2014.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024This is a quick story about finding love where you least expect to. Hank Dalton was trying to think of a way to find a wife. Charlotte was sitting on the side of the road in a broken down car that he was about to drive by.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017I loved this book, Em Petrova is an amazing author.
While his brothers are gone on a wife hunt as a condition to receiving their land, Hank stays back to help the family run their farm. One day he runs across a woman who is having car trouble and instantly feels for her and wants to help her. He gets her car back to the farm and works out a deal with her that if she stays and helps his mother, he will fix her car. He just knows that he has to know this woman, she has gotten under his skin. Hank was a great book boyfriend in that he knew she was running but didn’t pressure her, he just let her know that he was there for her.
Charlotte is on the run from a really bad breakup and she is not necessarily ready to jump in to a new relationship. Hank starts to tear down some of her walls but she keeps putting them back up. When she begins to realizes she has feelings for him, the only thing she can think about is leaving.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2014Although the story was somewhat sweet, it had some dark moments during some inner dialogue.
"She didn't know whether to feel happy that he wouldn't rape her or annoyed that he didn't find her as attractive as she found him."
Really?
Overall it was sweet and I'm looking forward to reading about the other brothers in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021This is the first book in a new series by Em. Five brides for five brothers. Or at least that is what their parents have planned. Their parents have a plan. The farm is very large. Each boy has been given a plot but they first must marry to get it. Hank isn’t as bothered by this as his brothers. When his brothers run to the city to find brides, he stays behind and it maybe that he finds his bride first. Charlotte is starting over. She has sold what she doesn’t need and packed the rest in her car. Then he gets stranded on the side of the road with no cell signal. Hank finds her and offers her help. Will this be the new start she is looking for? Hank knows right away that she was meant for him. Now he just needs to convince her. The time it will take to fix her car is all he has. Will it be enough? This was a great sweet short read. Hank and Charlotte make a great couple. They balance each other. Charlotte finds a home on the ranch that she didn’t even know she was looking for. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. Which brother will be next? Great job Em.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020This is a short story but a really good introduction/foundation for the series. It is an easy read ,not because it's short, but because it grabbed my attention. The author, who is relatively new to me, created characters that are realistic and feel like people you'd like to know. The emotion between the main characters develops in a fashion that doesn't seem rushed but comes off as genuine, makes me want to read more on the series. I LIKED IT! LOL!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Steaming
Hank and Charlotte are inspiring as you read the book. Charlotte has baggage that threaten their happiness. It works itself out. You will enjoy the book and it is easy to read. Buy it and pull up a real comfy chair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just awesome!!
On boy, this was one hot and sweet cowboy romance. Hank and Charlotte are so amazing. So that one Dalton boy down and four to go! Can't wait to see what happens to the next Dalton!!
- DawnReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, sweet romantic cowboy story.
An easy sweet read. There are five brothers and I've just read the first two stories. But will definitely continue reading them all. The characters pull you in right from the beginning. You will be hooked. All five brothers live on the family ranch and their parents has made a condition, that each one of them will get a piece of land but not until they marry. The first book is about Hank, who is sweet and caring just what Charlotte needs. The second book is about his brother Cash. I liked the story line about Cash, but as much as I liked Hanks. Can't wait to read the rest of them.
- Suzie CReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2016
4.0 out of 5 stars Good read
Quite a quick read but good all the same. Who doesn't love reading about cowboys? This is the first book in the series and makes a good start to the story.

Cowboy Crazy by Em Petrova is a great story & an awesome start to this series.
