The Cowboy’s Unexpected Love is the first book in the new, sweet n steamy, western romance series from USA Today Bestselling author SJ McCoy.

The MacFarland Ranch series takes us back to Paradise Valley, Montana, where the winters are cold and hard, and the cowboys are hot and harder.

Wade MacFarland is one of life’s good guys. He built and runs a guest lodge on the family ranch. His marriage to his high school sweetheart ended in bitter divorce years ago, his only consolation being that they didn’t have kids. He’s not looking for love anymore, but he’d be happy if it found him.

What he doesn’t expect is to find love sitting in a ditch on the side of the highway – in a wedding dress.
Sierra Hartford is running from her wedding – and running for her life. The life that she’s never been in charge of. She’s the heiress to Hartford Enterprises, and with her father and brother dead, she’s a billionaire in her own right.

Running from someone who plans to kill her lands her in the arms of a kind, sexy cowboy who makes her want a whole new life. And if simply staying alive wasn’t enough to deal with, Sierra’s also about to become the adoptive mom to two small children. She’s never met them, but she’s determined to give them a good life.

She might be falling hard for Wade, but he’s divorced because he didn’t want children.

He didn’t expect her to come into his life, how can she expect him to accept the children?

Pick up your copy of this sweet and steamy romance and you’ll laugh and cry with Wade and Sierra as they discover that unexpected love can be the very best kind.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.

I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)

THE COWBOY'S UNEXPECTED LOVE-Wade and Sierra is a standalone read with a happy ending. There are sexy scenes if that is an issue for you. The story is set on the MacFarland ranch where 4 brothers live and run their business. Wade and his brother Ford are driving home on a lonely stretch of road when they spot a woman in a wedding dress kicking the tire on her car. Naturally being good cowboys, they stop to help. It is a case of love at first sight for the stranded lady and Wade. They get her car fixed up and then take her to their ranch where they put her up for the night.

This is the beginning of their love story. Sierra has quite the story to tell of how she wound up on that road in a wedding dress and stranded in a ditch. Seems she caught her groom $crewing her best friend and telling her how he plans to marry Sierra and then kill her to inherit her money. She grabs her purse and runs. She is not quite sure how she wound up in Montana from San Francisco. Perhaps fate was at work.

This story is a great love story. Two souls not sure what they want or how to go about getting it. Toss in a couple of kids and a billion dollars and you have quite a story. Lots of drama, adventure, fighting for their lives and tricky watches. A fun read and very entertaining. I loved Wade. He is a great cowboy and lover. Sierra was a good heroine. She started out a bit of a pushover but she grew a spine in her hour of need. It is a good read and I definitely recommend it.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 11/22/2021 ;

Sierra drove her car into a ditch avoiding a deer. Wade and Ford were surprised to see a bride kicking the tires. Watching their story progress kept me involved until they finally knew what I was sure of. MS McCoy spends a wonderful story.

Easy to follow stand-alone. Great start to a series. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama. Not all questions are answered.

Interesting story of an almost bride running for her life. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Believable characters with distinct personalities and realistic dialogue.

No desire to re-read this story. I am interested in other works by this author and in this series.

Nice story. I love a book with added drama and mystery, friends and siblings who love each other and will go to the ends to the earth to be there for one another.

Here are some quotes from the first book of Sierra Hartford and Wade MacFarland -

"It's your choice to make...you only get one life; isn't it better to reach for something good even if you might not get it, even if you fall and get hurt? Isn't that better than never even hoping - than telling yourself that good things just aren't meant for you?" Page 200

"You don't find the truth of a relationship in months or years; you find the truth in moments. The moments that light you up, the ones that take your breath away and the ones that see your heart on fire, that's where you find it." Page 203

Check out the next book in this series: The Cowgirl's Unmistakable Love: Janey and Rocket (MacFarland Ranch Book 2) Enjoy and happy reading!

The hero and heroine were so different, and charming in their own ways. The path they took to discover that they had a future was full of angst and over-thinking, just so like us all. Loved the story line of adopting two orphans, and all the storyline with them. So well written, and well organized. Just the right amount of mystery, and anticipation in the ending. Loved it!

Unexpected and accidental describes the unusual meeting of heroine, Sierra and the MacFarland family. Her car lands in a ditch after a deer jumps out the brush onto the road and she swerved to avoid hitting jt....just compounding a truly bad day. The brothers seem to have it all under control as they manage to pull the rental car from the ditch and help her find lodging and a bite to eat at their guest ranch just down the road. It seems that they manage to help make things feel better over small and larger obstacles as the days go along. How can she be so lucky?

Good story and series. It's worth reading this book and all of her other books, too. Great author. 🌻🥂💞
P.s. there is a comment in the book: 2 small children, but that idea equates to 10 yrs old or younger and 10 yrs old being really saying that loosely. 🤔 12 to 14 years old are teens. Not small children. Just my opinion.. 🌻

The Cowboy's Unexpected love by SJ McCoy - I love a good cowboy romance story and I love a series where you get to know all the characters in the town and they each have their own books! So looking forward to reading the next books in this series. When you least expect it love finds you. Wade was not looking for love when he pulled over the side of the road to help a lady in a bridal gown get her car out of the ditch! Sierra was fleeing from her nuptials and ran off the road, turns out that was the best thing that ever happened to her. Her ex Jared wasn't who she thought he was and it was very lucky she came to her senses before she tied the knot! Alas it was love at first sight and when it's true love it doesn't matter what is going on you find a way.
