-my rant-ish summary of this book and millions just like it..... / to be fair this book was ok. I actually finished it without rolling my eyes too much..
3 1/2 stars, this was an ok read but the hero got away with way too much in my opinion, and the heroine forgave him way too easily. I believe this is only my second "cowboy" book so maybe this is what typically happens in this genre, however when a hero does the heroine wrong I want him to really prove he has not only changed and will do better, but that the heroine is it for him and that he will do whatever it takes to get the heroines forgiveness. Add to that what he did to his daughter, and this hero had a lot to make up for.
Colton and Jenna were married but Colton putting his career and friends before his wife and being home a few times a year put a strain on their marriage and then Jenna got pregnant and their marriage was over. Now six years later Colton has been hurt in the ring and has amnesia. Ending up at the hospital Jenna works at Jenna gets roped into caring for Colton when it becomes obvious he has no memory of the last six years and still thinks they are married.
Hoping that this will finally be a way to get Colton in Hope their daughters life Jenna agree's to care for Colton and hope that helps get his memory back. The more time they spend together the more the old Colton that Jenna loved is shown and it becomes harder and harder for the two to stay apart. And then Colton finds out about his daughter and can't believe the man he has become. But the question that both Jenna and Colton are most scared of is what Colton will do and feel when he finally gets his memory back.
I liked the idea of this story but in the end I was hoping for more. This books isn't bad and it was a very quick read but I really wish Jenna had more of a backbone in this book and had been stronger when it came to Colton. What Colton did FOR YEARS meant he really had some groveling and I think he got away way to easily with the pain he put everyone through just so he could be a star.
Nice sweet 2nd chance love story between a rodeo star and the woman he divorced six years before a fall causes amnesia and he doesn't remember they are divorced. Good characters and story. 3 solid stars.
The writing was good, but our " hero" is an asshole, that seriously didn't do a thing to earn forgiveness. I felt sorry for the heroine because she couldn't see how great she was and that there would be someone who deserved her, not the asshole that abandoned her and her kid for no good reason.

He doesn't remember that he divorced his wife, Jenna Tyler, or that he's a champion bull rider. Jenna is an emergency room nurse and is shocked when Colton shows up in her ER believing they are still married. Despite the pain of their past, Jenna discovers that Colton has their daughter's name tattooed on his wrist, which leads her to spend time with him for the sake of their daughter. Colton and Jenna find that there are many hurdles and challenges they must face to rediscover their love for each other. Jenna sees that Colton's efforts to make amends and be a part of their daughter's life is genuine. I really enjoyed this heartwarming second chance at love romance novel.
Wow! Can you imagine losing your memory and waking up believing you're still married to your ex-wife? Well Jenna Tyler is not happy especially when she remembers how selfish and self-centered Colton has always been. Jenna has always put her family first, something that Colton has never been able to do. Colton is a rich, champion bull rider and that thrill is way more exciting to him than than marriage and family. Colton's greedy manager, Grady, along with his party loving friends continue to persuade him to put career first. But it's Colton's choice whether or not to listen to them. Who or what will Colton choose?
Cowboy, I'm Yours is a very enjoyable, quick romance read. However, the book and its characters aren't memorable. Colton's reasoning for abandoning his child is never fully explained. In my opinion, he also does not atone for his selfish behavior in a satisfying manner. Plus, Jenna comes across as a little too clingy & a bit desperate.
Overall, I did like this book & I even recommend it to those who enjoy second chance romances. Still, I know the story and the characters will not stay with me once I'm done with this review.
I just finished reading this book and its outstanding! I love Joleen James books. She is an awesome author. I read this book in one day because I could not put it down. You will fall in love with Colton and Jenna. This is one of those romance books that you can believe true love never dies.
Wow, a man fighting in the end for his daughter and ex wife and won! Colton gave up his career to become the man and father they needed. I'm glad Jenna and Hope gave him that chance....her heart belonged to the Cowboy!!
