Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I have a confession to make this week. My TBR’s just a liiiiiittle bit backed up right now. Anyone relate? I mean, I always have plenty of books on my TBR; that’s nothing unusual. But my reading time is a lot more scarce than I’d like at the moment, hence I haven’t had a chance to read today’s First Line Friday choice yet: Her Stand-In Cowboy by Crystal Walton.
Another confession: I don’t usually go for cowboy stories. Especially ones that actually have “cowboy” in the title. 😊 But I’ve been a fan of Crystal’s stories for a while now, and I just know I’m going to get all kinds of laughs out of this one. I mean, that first line! Any other breastfeeding mamas out there who can relate to out-of-control letdowns? 😂
About the Book
There are certain things a single country mom learns to accept. Like the fact that she now shares a sacred bond of empathy with her dairy cow, that spit-up can reach places it never should be able to, and that a pretend relationship is far less complicated than one her southern mama insists on setting her up in. At least, it is when you have anyone’s luck besides Ainsley Jamison’s.
Only in Ainsley’s life would her imaginary decoy turn out to be a real-life city boy who is as hilariously wrong for her as he is persistent. With less than four weeks before her entire family shows up for Thanksgiving, they don’t have a cotton-picking prayer of turning Connor into a believable cowboy in time, let alone fixing up her place while they’re at it.
Heaven knows Ainsley’s already maxed out her faith hoping she made the right choice raising her son there. But while praying she didn’t make a mistake taking on her daddy’s farm is one thing, praying she didn’t make one taking on Connor Allen is another entirely. One that’s about to turn everything in her life upside down.

Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
Happy Saturday! Today, I’m currently reading On My Honour by Elizabeth John’s, so I’ll share from there.
“Meg looked down at her hands, which were raw from lye soap. How did people do this every day?”
Hope you’re having a good weekend filled with awesome reading time and rest. 😊❤📖
