Eleven years ago Seth O'Connor left Josie McAllister brokenhearted. But now the sexy, smooth talking cowboy is on her doorstep, with a legal document that laid claim not only to McAllister property but to Josie, as well.
Learning that her father had gambled away not just the family ranch, but Josie's future on one game of cards has her fighting to safeguard her home, along with protecting her daughter from a past filled with painful secrets between her and Seth.
But this cowboy is determined to claim what is now rightfully his, and Josie has a difficult choice to make. She can either give up her home to her family nemesis, or marry a man she'd taught herself to hate….

The Cowboy’s Gamble
Fun and very entertaining from beginning to end!
We See the Sowing but Where’s the Reaping?
This is a book full of lies, betrayal and lives ruined due to a vindictive brother. Robert O’Connor is far from happy when he’s told Josie is going to have his brother, Seth’s, baby. Why? A family feud that goes back three generations…. four counting the innocent baby. Sixteen year old Josie McAllister’s reputation is ruined by nasty lies, locker room talk and loose innuendos. As a result, Seth O’Connor chooses to believe the baby she’s carrying isn’t his and abandons Josie to fend for herself. And that she does, for 11 looong years. Now circumstances make it impossible for them to ignore each other and possibly mend fences. Nothing will be easy but both Josie and Seth want the same thing …. The McAllister ranch, which was the start of that 75 year old feud.
See, that ranch land use to belong to the O’Connors but the ‘sins of the fathers’ had consequences. Hatred between the families resulted and passed down through the generations. Josie and Seth had to hide their relationship …but her pregnancy could not remain hidden. Even though Seth threw Josie away, his father and brother never forgot. It cost Seth his inheritance. HIs dysfunctional dad cut him out of the will making him only a paid ranch hand.
When lies are revealed and the vindictive people exposed you’d think there would be some reaping, but not sooo fast. I explain in the below observations.
🤔OBSERVATIONS:
✒︎ Josie never lied, why apologize? She was the victim. If Seth wanted proof, all he had to do was request a DNA check. It seems like he WANTED to believe the ‘gossip’.
✒︎ The last half of this book is MUCH better than the first half. I almost gave up reading after the first couple chapters. Josie’s lust was unbelievable. She hated him for 11 years. How do you hate someone who threw you away, then see him in an unfriendly situation and start lusting after him? That is what made me want to quit reading.
✒︎ Also, the last half failed to show any repercussions for those who ruined Josie. Did those lying boys with loose tongues ever have to admit what they did? How much were they paid? Where are they now?
✒︎ How about Robert, the brother? His simple ‘I’m Sorry’ was not only laughable but unbelievable. Where are any consequences for Robert and those loose tongued liars?
✒︎ Why, Why use profanity? Foul language is one thing but profaning always is unnecessary.
