Grumpy Cowboy: Single Dad Collection Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Max Monroe (Author), Tor Thom (Narrator), Lidia Dornet (Narrator),
4.5 out of 5 stars 4,925 ratings

Dear Counselor,

It was supposed to be simple favor for my very important boss - go to his good friend Tex Jameson's luxury ranch and provide personal medical care for his recently injured teenage son. I thought it'd be a working vacation of sorts, but everything is upside down, and absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.

For one, this patient is not a teenage boy.

He's a real-life, blue-eyed, tough-as-nails, 30-something cowboy who is so darn strong he looks like he could lift a car just for the heck of it. He's also stubborn, rude, and we don't get along...at all.

Add in the heart-melting vision of him as a single father to the cutest little girl on the planet, and I've found myself in a whole different dimension of trouble. Lust. Feelings. A whole lot of enemies-to-lovers-style complication.

Please help me. My name is Dr. Leah Levee, I am a victim of false advertising, and if I'm not careful, this grumpy cowboy might just be the death of me.

Contains mature themes.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

    Just when I think I’ve found all of the amazing indıe wrıters out there, I stumble upon another and feel like I’ve been living under a rock. Seriously, how did I not already know about this fantastic wrıting duo?! The wrıting is fresh and clever, making me laugh till I cry and squeezing my heart in the most exquisite way.

    It's been a minute since I read a good cowboy romance, and Mr. Grumpy Chaps can certainly star in all of my rodeo dreams. Rhett Jameson thinks he knows best when it comes to his knee injury and he's less than thrilled when his father brings in a doctor to help with Rhett's recovery.

    Dr. Leah Levee is used to working with stubborn athletes, but she soon finds out an ornery cowboy is his own brand of stubborn. Rhett does everything he can to avoid the beautiful doctor. And when he can’t avoid her, he puts Leah through her paces doing all kinds of ranch work. I have to admit, the scene of collecting the little swımmers from the bull is the most hysterical thing ever! I laughed until my sides hurt and my eyes leaked!

    A fun, light-hearted read that's low on angst but bursting with heart, this is the absolute best kind of escape from beginning to end. With larger-than-life, quirky characters, you'll love every second of Rhett and Leah's story and be begging for more!

    The banter between Leah and Rhett is perfect! I love how they got to know each other. I loved how their relationship started to develop beyond doctor and patient. I loved the light hearted fun and especially their banter. Fun loving laughter in this story! My only hang up was Joey. Her story and character were sweet and I liked her right off the start. I'm just not believing she's five years old. I get she's "smart" but her speech and mannerisms are too far out of a five year olds smart range. She should have been written as an eight year old at least. Not sure if the author has been v around kids this age but joey was definitely not a five-year old.

    “If you typed the words “hot cowboy” into Google, I’m pretty sure this guy would be the number one search result.”

    “Grumpy Cowboy” is book three in the ‘Single Dad Collection’ from authors Max Monroe. The books are stand-alone stories. If you read the second book in the series including the extended epilogue, you’ll probably remember briefly meeting Utah Cowboy Rhett and his adorable little girl Joey. I was so glad to find them as the focus of this book.

    Rhett absolutely adores his precocious daughter. He loves his parents and the family ranch and has no regrets about giving up his successful rodeo career to live on the ranch and raise his child. He’s certainly not perfect though. Rhett is an incredibly stubborn man and resistant to authority. He frequently butts heads with his father about the family ranch and being more responsible. When Rhett gets a serious leg injury while accepting a challenge from his friends, he ignores the medical advice from his doctors and risks permanent, debilitating damage to the function of his leg. Leah is a medical doctor that his father brings to the ranch for the summer to oversee Rhett’s recovery and rehabilitation. She’s a real, stereotypical ‘city girl’ in designer dresses in high heels, but in her own way she’s just as stubborn as Rhett. Also like him, she’s a truly good-hearted person. Some of the chaos that ensues between them on the ranch is hilarious and so creative. As the story develops, Rhett and Leah truly bring out the best in one another. In this book there’s a 3rd lead character … Rhett’s young daughter Joey (short for Josephine) is a sassy gem in sparkles and little cowgirl boots. Her wonderful personality shimmers off the pages.

    In addition to the fun in this story, there is quite a lot of serious emotion. It’s nicely balanced so it definitely remains a rom-com, but this story and characters have depth. I must admit that I teared up more than once while reading. The cast of secondary characters further bring it all to life. And Ernie! I fell in love with him and if you read the book, I bet you will, too. After you finish the book and the great epilogue, make sure you get the extended epilogue. I don’t want to reveal anything from that, but prepare to swoon. Put on your real or metaphorical cowboy hat, kick back and prepare for an experience that will warm your heart and heat up your Kindle.

    Grumpy Cowboy is Max Monroe back to their best. This book is funny, warm, hot and more. The characters are well fleshed out and it is easy to picture them and feel who they are. Joey is the icing on the cake, what a cutie. This whole story was brilliant.

    A cowboy was on the rodeo circuit and left to help his father with the ranch. A night out leads him to to ride a new rodeo horse, which manages spectacularly but gets into to trouble dismounting and burst the tendons and ligaments around his knee. His father phones a friend and Leah is sent to the ranch. The story and romance begins. A book that can be serious in places but on the whole a really funny book. Good read
