They stole my heart....Dalton, Ethan, Evan....all of them!
Gia finds everything she didn't know she was looking for! She's a romance influencer but hadn't quite understood the attraction to Cowboy romance. She didn't realise just what she was missing out on until she is rescued by her own sexy cowboy and his mini cowboys.
There is a little sizzle and steam, but mostly it is a really beautiful, heartwarming, gorgeous romance with two of the sweetest boys and a slightly overwhelmed, grumpy, possessive cowboy.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

I only gave it 1 ⭐ because I'm not really into the cowboy smut right at this moment, but this book was part of a series so I had to read it.
Dual POV
Short and Spicy
(slow burn with a lot of sexual tension)
🌶️⭐
Single Dad (with twins)
Widower (wife's been gone 3 years)
Romance Book Blogger
InstaLust - Love
Age Gap - ( she's 25 - he's 38 )
Instant Obsession
Curvy Girl
She holds her phone up. “Okay, but I’m taking your picture and sending it to my friend so if I wind up dead, they know who to question.”
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
When I think he’s about to move away, he wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me flush against his body. I land against him with a thud, and he groans. “Fuck, you feel good, Gia.”
Before I can say the same, he’s pressing his lips to mine, and the kiss starts soft and sweet. He kisses the edge of my mouth. “Open your mouth, Gia. Let me inside.”
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
He reaches out, putting his hand between my legs, palming my pussy. “I want to taste you.”
His fingers slide through my slit, and my head falls back. “Yes.”
He nods his head to the bed. “Lie down, Gia.”
I move to sit on the center of the bed, and he strokes his cock as he walks toward me. “Lie back.”

Enjoyed Reading
I enjoyed reading this book. Gia is an influencer who reviews books and Dalton is the very-kissable cowboy. This was a quick and steamy read that ends with a happily ever after. Looking forward to seeing what this author brings us next

Gia es un encanto. Un libro corto pero bonito
July 28, 2024
1,5✨️ alright, uhm yes. This is such a wattpad coded story. From the way they met, to how she got his son who has selective mutism for 3 years to speak in literally 10 minutes, and she like cries legit cries when he said the first sentence, how the spicy scene was written in a wattpad kind of way (iykyk), and who's watching the kids in the middle of the day when they do the dirty?, to how the cowboy is a tortured your too good for me man in every chapter, after 3 days she moves in, in 3 months there is a surprise pregnanacy, he knows she's pregnant because her boobs are bigger and shes more emotional, and he asks her to marry him.
But it was kind of enjoyable? I guess🤷♀️

OMG!!! WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.
Dalton and Gia met when she gets stranded on the side of the road because her car died. Dalton comes upon Gia and knows that he can't drive passed her since there's not many people that pass by. Dalton gets someone to come and tow Gia's car into town, and then takes her to his ranch. Dalton's twin boys Evan and Ethan come out with another woman who has a baby on her hip. Gia finds out Maddie lives on another ranch down the road, and was just watching Dalton's twins. When Dalton needs to check on his animals he asks him twin to come with him but they want to stay with Gia. Dalton isn't sure at first but then agrees to let them. After Dalton leaves Gia asks the twins what they want to do, they want to play a game but she suggests they read a book. Gia is a social media influencer who promotes authors books. So Gia downloads a book for the twin, then starts reading when she passes the book to Evan he reads alone, but when she passes it to Ethan he just shakes his head. Gia continues to read but when Evan asks about the book Ethan speaks up, and they're both shocked. The twins stand and hug one another and start laughing. When they finish the book Gia asks them what else they want to do and Ethan tells her he wants to dance. Gia starts to play music off her phone and they all dance in the living room. Dalton comes in and stands and watches them with a big smile on his face. Dalton hears Ethan asking a question so he steps into the room. When Ethan starts talking to his dad he drops to his knees and hugs him. Dalton goes and grabs supper for them to cook outside, then they all sit by the fire. As Dalton puts the boys to bed, Gia cleans up, he asks her to stay and tell her it'll be a few days before her car is fixed. Dalton shows Gia the guest bedroom, and then tells her he's up by four and the twins are up at six. The next day when the twins asks Gia if she'll go swimming she asks Maddie if she can borrow a swimsuit. The swimsuit is a little small for Gia, but she couldn't refuses the twins. Gia watches as Dalton and another man walk towards her and the twins. Dalton tells the other man to go grab the keys, and the twins ask their dad to come for a swim. Dalton goes to change when he comes back he notices that Gia isn't acting right so he asks her what's wrong. Dalton wants some time to talk to Gia but it's hard to get alone time with her when he has twin boys. Gia tries to leave the pool and Dalton asks her to stay. Dalton finally finds out that Gia hasn't worn a swimsuit in years, and is uncomfortable. Dalton tells Gia she's beautiful, and hasn't been able to take his eyes off of her. When the boys are done in the pool they all agree to have some lunch, and Dalton tells Gia he's having a hard time keeping his hands to himself. Then Dalton kisses Gia and she tells him she can't keep her hands off of him. When Ethan calls for his dad they break apart, then Dalton tells Gia he can't do this. Gia leaves to get dressed, and tells Dalton she understands. Gia changes her clothes and when she comes back out Dalton leaves to head out to his ranch.

Gia's talking about them in all of her videos. In Gia's last video she's at a gas station, talking about how excited she is to get back home, because she misses the starry skies, holding hands, hugs that leave you sticky, brown eyes that you can get lost in, and kisses that make your toes curl.

The Marooned for a Night series has another installment! This is a collab between 3 authors. This installment center on the FMC’s getting rescued by the MMC’s after their cars break down! Things get spicy when these couples are forced under the same roof! As a series I give these ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
🐺 Stranded With An Insatiable Shifter by Olivia T. Turner
🤠 Stranded With A Very-Kissable Cowboy by Hope Ford
👽 Stranded With A Wounded Vampire by Michele Mills
Like the other books in this series, I enjoyed the forced proximity and insta-lust tropes! The couples get together fairly quickly and it gets hot and heavy! The MC’s are all growly and super possessive of their women. Since each book is a different type of MMC (shifter, human, and alien vampire) you get a variety of spice! As of now, I think this is the last installment. This series was fun to read and I hope they collab more in the future!

Gianna (Gia) seems to be living her best life. Travelling the country, doing what she loves (it sounds like the perfect job to me). But is she happy? Yes, she is, at least until she meets a grumpy cowboy after breaking down by the side of the road. A woman is the last thing Dalton needs, but he can’t leave Gia stranded in the middle of nowhere. I loved Gia’s first meeting with Dalton’s two adorable little boys, Evan and Ethan. It felt like they’d known each other forever and Dalton was shocked at the way his boys responded to her, though he was struggling with unfamiliar feelings of his own. When Dalton reluctantly asks her to stay until her car is fixed, Gia seamlessly slips into their life. She brings back the laughter and joy that have been missing since Dalton’s wife passed. So, what happens when Gia has to move on, can Dalton overcome his hang-ups and ask her to stay? There’s nothing like a Hope Ford novella to make your day and this one is no exception, I guarantee it will put a smile on your face.

I loved this book! Gia is a book blogger and Dalton is a widowed father to twins and is a rancher. Dalton discovers Gia on the side of the road with her run down car. At first, Dalton is a jerk to her, because he is attracted to her. Gia takes it in stride. Dalton takes her to his place because there is nothing closer with the intention to drive her into town and drop her off at a hotel.
When Gia arrives at Dalton’s, his boys immediately warm up to her. She finds them adorable! Dalton has to go check on something and the boys beg to stay with Gia. After much deliberation, he agrees. While he is gone, the boys grow increasingly attached to Gia.
Dalton feels like he has nothing to offer her especially since he is 13 years older than her. Gia wants Dalton and his boys but Dalton needs a good, swift kick in the hinney! That man is stubborn!
This was an absolute amazing book! I loved every bit of it and firmly believe you will too. This incredible book had all the feels and the adorable kids just added to the story. Highly recommend!!.

OMG! This was so cute!
Dalton is a single dad of twin boys, one of whom hasn't spoken since their mother died three years before. He carries a lot of weight on his shoulders.
Gia is a book influencer, passing through town on her way to a convention, when her car breaks down. She can't reach anyone to tow it, so she waits for someone to drive by. Being that there are only a few farms on this road, that someone happens to be Dalton. He's exasperated that he has to stop, but he can't just leave her there. So he convinces her to come with him until he can take her into town. His kids see Gia and just attach themselves to her, which is a huge surprise, and she ends up staying for several days.
The interaction between them was so good as Dalton slowly warmed to Gia. It just took him a little longer to figure out what his sons knew in an instant. And they were so cute! The twins really stole the show!
There were some fun friends too, who saw right through him. This was a great little hot grumpy cowboy romance. And the grumpier they are, the sweeter they get!!

Hmmm, it would have been better as a longer book with a better detailed plot.
It started ok. But seriously, what woman who broke down on a dirt road happily just gets in a car with a guy and goes to his house... survival instincts of an ant.
The ridiculous continued that Daltons sons automatically accept her in 30 seconds, and then 10 minutes later, she manages to get one of his sons who has selected mutism to talk after 3 years of not. WTF.
There wasn't much detail on what caused Ethan to stop talking. We just assume it's to do with his mums death, but he was like 1/2 at the time, so it seems a bit weird.
If the book was longer, it would have been more realistic to see the bond grow and then have a moment and reason why he decided to talk. If he was 1/2 when he stopped, his speech would have issues now he wouldn't just start talking at the same level as his brother.
The back and forth with Dalton was cringe. But to make him instantly fall in love with no conflicts relating to his dead wife, only Gias age was bizarre.
Easy 116-page read.
Basically, it's a published fan fic.

This is a fast insta-everything with some great tropes. Stranded influencer Gia, is rescued by seemingly grumpy cowboy Dalton. At least he puts on as a grump. He’s really a widower with a heart of gold and two adorable twin boys. He’s got a lot of stressors like the time and cost of running a ranch and worrying about his kids. He has no clue what to do with his attraction to Gia and really doesn't have room to add much else to his plate. Besides, she’s just passing through and is way too young for him. That doesn’t stop their attraction from bubbling over. Gia believes she’s finally found where she belongs. But Dalton suddenly pushes her away. Deciding for both of them she’s too young, he can’t compete with her influencer life and she shouldn’t have to give it up to be tied down with everything his life brings with it. Will he send her out of their lives or come to his senses.

When social influencer, Gianna, is stranded with a broken down car on her way to a romance conference, she’s rescued by a gorgeous cowboy with precious little twin boys, one of which hasn’t spoken a word in three years, that take to her immediately.
Widower, rancher and father of two, Dalton, is extremely attracted to the woman he helped when her car broke down but ranching is a hard life and he refuses to be the one to tie Gia down when she could be out living a carefree life. If only he and his boys hadn’t fallen in love with her already…
This was a sweet, steamy, angst free romance that had cameo appearances from some of our favorite authors such as Ms. Ford, Matilda Martel, Elyse Kelly and Eve London coming to us directly from a romance conference and it was such a good, lighthearted read, no regrets or wishing it had ended differently, just a good book. 4.5 stars!!.

Stranded with a Very Kissable Cowboy is part of the Marooned for the Night series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, grumpy-sunshine, curvy girl gets her cowboy romance. Gianna (Gia) is a 25 year old curvy romance novel influencer and blogger. Dalton is a 38 year old hunky, grumpy, cowboy, and single dad to 5 year old twins, Ethan and Evan. When Gia's car breaks down on the way to a conference, Dalton comes to her aid. He's extremely attracted to her but is rude and grumpy, telling himself he doesn't need a relationship after losing his wife a few years ago. He takes her home until her car can be towed. But she bonds with his boys immediately, and he can only resist the curvy beauty for so long. Will he let love in? Can she show him she's all in? This was such a sweet and steamy story with insane chemistry and cute kids. I absolutely loved it!!.

I really liked Gia (h) she was relatable and loving. The way the twins took to her immediately was heartwarming and sweet. Dalton (H) ran hot and cold. I could understand where his feeling and thoughts were coming from but he took it out on Gia. The twins were so open to love and happiness. One thing I do not like was the dead spouse troupe. I don't like when the h is not the number 1 woman in his life. However, Hope did a nice job of writing it so you felt she wasn't second best. There was no pining for a lost love and the boys were genuinely excited to have a "new" mom.

Confirmo que si es un vaquero muy besable. (inserte emoji de boca mordiéndose el labio)
Este tipo de instalove si es el que disfruto, algo combinado con slow burn. 🔥 Como Dalton, así me gustan, que se resistan al principio y que sea yo la que tenga que rogar!! jajaja
Un vaquero que piensa en la chica y quiere lo mejor para ella (que cree que sabe que es lo mejor para ella) y ella solo quiere al vaquero padre soltero del pueblo pequeño! (unos de mis tropes favoritos).
Hope Ford nunca me decepciona (gran crossover en esta historia, épico!)
⭐Pongo el segundo libro como favorito ⭐
⭐ 2. Stranded with a Bossy Rancher
⭐⭐ 3. Stranded with a Very-Kissable Cowboy
⭐⭐⭐ 1. Stranded with a Grumpy Cowboy

Well, Dalton is a grumpy hotter than sin single dad cowboy struggling to keep it all together. Gia is a sweet as pie sunshine filled book influencer who breaks down near his ranch. Her car might be broke but she's breaking down walls left and right. These two do the dance of should I, will I, and why I should not so well that you are rooting for them to get it together and gives us our HEA!! I loved her dynamic with his boys and how real her insecurities felt. I love, love, love this book and these sweet, steamy, instant love reads that brighten your day and fuel your fantasies.

🤎ARC Review🤎
Stranded with a Very-Kissable Cowboy by Hope Ford is a quick read, ägë-gäp, grumpyish/sunshine, curvy heroine, widowed dad, sweet cowboy romance. Gia is the romance book reader social media influencer on her way to a convention. Her car breaks down on the backroads by Dalton's ranch. Dalton is on his way home to be with his twin boys, when he finds Gia on the side of the road. Instant attraction between them. 💕 This is a bit of a different take on a insta-love story, as Dalton's sons also fall in love with Gia instantly. 🥰 A fun read that hits all right notes & makes you happy.

Gia’s car breaks down while on her way to a Romance Writers Conference and Dalton stops to help her out but her car has to be towed so he takes her to his home to check on his twins Evan and Ethan and the plan was he would take her into town to stay but his twins fall in love with her and he convinces her to stay at his house until her car can be fixed. Ethan one of the twins stopped speaking three years ago when his wife died of Brest cancer and now Gia has gotten him to talk. Loved this sweet hot story with great characters ( the twins are adorable ).

I loved Stranded with a Very-Kissable Cowboy. Gianna’s car broke down and she’s rescued by the grumpy cowboy, Dalton. She’s too beautiful and he’s grumpy about it. He has too much going on and having her around is an inconvenience but a good one. She’s helping with his boys and bringing sunshine back to their home. Unfortunately, he isn’t sure what he has to offer the younger girl and decides it’s best to push her away. Not his smartest move but he thought it was for the best. I loved this short and sweet story. It has lovable characters, even if he is a grump. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book is a part of the Marooned For A Night series and focuses on Dalton and Gia. Gia is a romance book influencer who is on the road for an event when she breaks down on the side of the road. This is where Dalton finds her and immediately his world gets flipped upside down. Dalton is a widowed, single dad cowboy who hasn’t had any interest in anything but his ranch and making sure his twin boys are happy and healthy. When Gia comes into their lives he sees how much they all need her. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

This story is a part of a multi-author "Marooned for a Night" series. It is a stand alone read that is fairly short and quick. This story is so sweet with two adorable twin boys, a rancher and a romance influencer. I really enjoyed this sweet and touching story about Gia, Dalton, Ethan and Evan. Gia, an influencer, breaks down on a road. Dalton, a rancher, finds her and brings her back to his place. Ethan and Evan, Dalton's boys, instantly take to Gia which shocks all. I loved this story from beginning to end. I could not put it down. Dalton and Gia fall hard and fast for each other. I love how this one ends too.

If it’s by Hope Ford you know it’s going to be an excellent story. Dalton is a grumpy rancher who comes upon Gia at her broken down car. He can’t leave her there so to his ranch they go where she meets his twin sons Evan and Ethan. This has all the best tropes, grumpy older widower rancher, younger woman an influencer who reviews romance and adorable twins. Once they’re all together nothing can stop them. Loved this sweet and steamy love story.
