Courting The Cowboy
Meeting the Cowboy's Family
Looking for inspiration, artist Ella Langton rents a cabin in the isolated Porcupine Hills of Alberta.

Still healing from a tragic accident, Ella has no plans of reaching out, but she's having a hard time keeping them out of her yard…and her thoughts. And when little Suzy ropes Ella into helping her with an art project, she can't help her growing feelings for the girl's rugged daddy. With three persistent children, Cord and Ella may find their fenced-off hearts opening up sooner than they thought!

Inspirational and encouraging novel that with a beautiful and a bit fragile example shows in practise what it means when we are promised that God will carry us even through the darkest times in our lives, and He can use that time for our best and through that darkness guide us to the path we are supposed to be on.
Yes, I was touched by this story, it spoke to me, and got directly to my heart. Ella's heartbreak was so vivid, the dark place her marriage had taken her into, with the shame and secrets, poured into the canvas and made her career, but it left her yearning for something more, light, joy, life into her days. She is a strong character, survivor really, with a big yet broken heart. She has so much kindness, passion, wit, and charm, but she is afraid to let it lose, to live again, to have joy again in her life.
Cord lives with his own regrets and shame from his marriage, but his three children, the ranch, the work with his wife's legacy, it all takes his time and thoughts, not really leaving him time for the daily to-do list, not to mention gives him time to reflect and heal from Lisa's death.
I love Cord's kids. They all had solid characteristics, a true joy to be around. They craved for love and affection, and attention. They play a center role in the story, bringing Cord and Ella together, and helping them both heal and move on.
All the parental figures who were introduced in the story twisted the plot to a new direction. Not everything was completely resolved regarding Lisa's parents. I think Ella and Cord will have to face that storm until smoother sailing is possible.
I was immensely impressed how Ella's art played another center role in the plot, and I admit a little jealous of her ability and gift to express herself in that form.
I have really fallen in love with these Love Inspired stories, and how the faith-based stories often spoke to me through the characters if I am willing to hear what they have to share.
Courting the Cowboy ended up being a deep, thoughtful, and encouraging story of second chances in life, and how every step we take in will be leading us to our destiny, even if the destiny is not what we expected and planned it to be. I'm still a bit in awe of the tale and I know I'll be thinking about it for a good while

Unfortunately, there's not much to recommend this book. Both Ella and Cord have had problems in their past relationships, and they use those issues to avoid getting close to one another. I found Ella to be a bit of a doormat of a character, and Cord was too clueless to actually be enjoyable as a hero. The faith message got lost in the shuffle here, and didn't feel as important as it should have been. However, the story was an entertaining read, so earned an extra star from me.

I took me a bit to understand Ella, yet as each layer was revealed I loved how her journey took her from darkness to light. It was a process for her to embrace a new perspective with the unsolicited help from her overworked neighbor Cord, his friendly children, and his matchmaking father. As an artist I love when the main character is also creatively inclined, and it was interesting to see the various elements and influences of the art world and the pressure on her production and mental health. The pace of the narrative isn't always smooth, and I wished for more development of the romance between Ella and Cord to be shown. Overall it was a sweet read and I loved the happy ending.

Originally posted on Tales to Tide You Over
This is a sweet story of recovery from tragedy and finding yourself in the aftermath. A quick read, I was surprised to find it includes some major issues and the consequences of living through them, but they’re well handled.
Ella lost touch with her artistic self when her child died and her marriage as well. She’s trying to reclaim that part of herself and has a golden opportunity to both teach and display her art if only she can create a new portfolio. To facilitate this, she rents an out-of-the-way cabin to regain her focus, only to discover it’s in the middle of just what she’s trying to escape.
Cord had the most perfect wife a man could have, kids, and the life he wanted, when his wife died unexpectedly. Now he’s struggling to live up to her memory while being a good father, and it’s all too much to handle. He’s certainly not interested in a new relationship, but his kids and his own feelings haven’t gotten the message.
They are both suffering crises of faith and life that they can’t seem to get beyond. Ella can’t move on until she gives herself the right to be happy while Cord needs to stop trying to live up to an impossible dream, something he can’t help but fail at. This is an inspirational romance so there is both a break with God in the past and recovering that connection. I found this thread subtle and smooth within the story rather than preachy.
The children are adorable and feel very realistic. How Ella finds her way back from losing her son is well crafted and plausible. The same with Cord learning to accept his future rather than letting guilt over his relationship with his dead wife cost both him and his children their childhood.
Come into the light from darkness is a major theme that resonates in both their paths. Cord’s love for his family is shown in the little things and small ways that make it feel real even, or especially, when the kids are acting up. Ella’s artistic journey is another powerful thread while I adore the resolution of her relationship with her mother, especially considering the very serious realizations her mother has to take in. I was worried there for a moment considering what we knew of her.
The actual ending scene read a little flat to me in the wording, especially when compared to how much I enjoyed the rest, but it’s a minor quibble in a story strong with redemption, family, and love. I’m happy to have spent time in their company.
P.S. I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

When Ella Langton leaves the city for a cabin in the Porcupine Hills of Alberta, she's looking for peace and solitude and inspiration for her art. She's getting away from two traumatic events in her life and needs space to grieve. Before she has even unpacked her boxes, her solitude is shattered by the three children her neighbor's nanny dumps on her doorstep. Turns out her "isolated" cabin is actually just a stone's throw from Cord Walsh and his three rambunctious children. To make matters worse, the nanny's departure means the children are being supervised by their elderly grandfather whose "naps" give the children far too many opportunities to escape to Ella's.
Harried father, Cord Walsh, has far too many demands on his time. Trying to complete his late wife's legacy, he spends every spare minute serving in her place on the local rodeo association. Unfortunately, with that and working to maintain his ranch, time with his children suffers. When his fourth nanny in two years quits, he despairs of finding balance in his life. Arriving at Ella's, he finds both Ella and his children distraught. Her reaction to his children appears to be one of distaste so he determines to keep his kids away from her. Unfortunately, his determination is no match for Suzy and Paul's desire for Ella's attention.
As Cord observes Ella with his two oldest, he realizes she's really very good with them. It's only his youngest - sweet, adorable Oliver - that she remains aloof from. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes that she's good with him, too. Can he convince her to take a chance on a ready-made family? Can Ella get past the darkness of her grief to see the light God has for her?
I read Cord and Ella's story after reading Morgan and Tabitha's. Ms. Aarsen shows the depth of love this family has for one another and the support they give. I enjoyed - and raced through - both books in this series and I'm hoping she'll be telling sister Amanda's story soon!

This was a good book. Erin comes to stay at a cabin when Cord, his dad and kids live on the ranch. She trying to get back to her painting.
The kids keep interupting her but she does not seem to mind. More she get to know them the more she likes them. Especially Cord, she is having feelings for him.
She is getting over an abusive relationship with her ex huband and losing her baby.
More time she is with the kids and Cord, the more she like them a lot.
She helps with cooking and babysitting as Cord is really busy.
She helps when little Olive gets a fever.
When her mom comes to tell her about a job offer. She has changed and so have her paintings. They are now light and colorful and full of everyday life.
She turns down the job when they want to go back to the darker painting she did before, but she is not the same person she was when she first came to the cabin.
She goes back to pack up when Cord come to talk to her. It is then that her tels her he loves and and wants to know if she will marry him. She says yes. She love Cord and the kids.
She and Cord find their love and they along with Paul, Suzy and Oliver along the cat Oreo and dog Pablo become a family along with Boyce his dad.
This was a great read. You never know how you will change when you go some where and how you just might find you true love.

Ella has lost her inspiration and for a short while decides to stay in a cabin to see if she can find that inspiration once again. Little did she expect for the neighbors children and workaholic father to somehow make their way into her heart. Now shes painting differently then she used to and shes not sure if this a good or bad thing.
I thought that this was a sweet book. It was interesting getting to see Cord and Ella's POV and seeing how their life past and present was. It was interesting getting to dive briefly into their past to understand who they were as character and make the readers love the character more.I loved Cords children and how they managed to get their way at times knowing how to play the adults. I loved that the children did managed to stay as an important role when it came to book as well, many of the children in books tend to fade into the background and you don't hear about them much. I loved that this book was a clean romance, and if you're a person of christian faith you'll like this book as well. This book mentions about christian faith and you get to see how god plays into these characters lives as well. Overall it was a pretty sweet book I enjoyed it.

This was such an inspirational Christian romance. I adored the characters (especially the children)! How can you NOT love them.
While reading this and it seems so easy to tell the characters that even though they are asking for guidance, they aren't really listening. Just like in our every day life. It is so easy to say trust but we sometimes don't.
This is written in a dual POV format. Getting their thoughts during a scene really helps me to better understand and connect with them. It really humanizes them.
I can't wait to read more cowboys stories in this series! There is just a few kissing scenes so I highly recommend this Christian romance to anyone!

Sooo Good.
This was not only well written but the characters were flawed and grew. There was some Christian talk but not much displayed. The main characters evolved and healed from their pasts. The story was heart warming and an enjoyable read. It would have been nice to have an acknowledgment that God led the way for their direct healing, not just a sermon one Sun. Even with that it was a good story.

I enjoyed this book. I liked how Ella was brave enough to face her fears and how Cord was patient with her. I was not sure I liked Ella's mother until the very end. I really liked the kids. You will enjoy this book.

2.5 rounded up to 3 because my issues were more personal ones with the "message" of the story, but the writing was well done and some scenes were exceptional. At 44, this is my first Harlequin; a GR friend started a new group! It was a welcome respite!

Courting the Cowboy, was a short, sweet, and inspiring story. I enjoyed reading this book; it was well written with likable characters and a healing story.
I'm enjoying slowly returning to exploring these types of stories. I think they are inspirational, and they're usually quick reads too.

Touching story
From darkness to light. I love Ms. Aarsen’s characters. They are believable with warts and all. The story made me want to jump in and help, but in the end, they didn't need me. The Lord and His followers stepped in.

Very predictable with an HEA. Only 3.5 stars because it’s so similar to the last book by Aarsen that I read and the ending was rushed.

Ella just wants solitude so she can focus on her art. Her landlord guaranteed her that she wouldn’t be bothered in her little cabin. However, it’s hard to restrain his grandkids from wanting to talk to Ella and play with her dog. Cord is a widower with 3 small children. He can’t help but notice his father’s pretty new tenant. Much to Ella’s dismay, she can’t help but notice Cord either. She keeps reminding herself that she’s not there for a relationship. Over time, she finds that she can’t ignore Cord’s children or her newly developed feelings towards their father. Cord also seems to notice that Ella is hiding quite a bit of sadness, but he knows she’ll share with him when she’s ready. When Ella gives in to her feelings, she realizes that she can let go of her sadness and be happy for the new path her life has chosen.
I have always enjoyed reading the Love Inspired books and this one didn’t let me down. These stories hold inspirational meanings with the plots and characters. Both Ella and Cord had to let down their guards so they could begin to feel love and happiness again. I found myself laughing out loud at his kids and their antics. It reminded me of when my kids were little. They can say and do some of the craziest things.

I have a fondness for the Love Inspired line of books. Courting the Cowboy is a lovely story of two people in need of healing. Both Ella and Cord have had problems in their past relationships. Ella holds a lot of secrets close to her heart and Cord had guilt about an argument before his wife's death.
Ella is in Porcupine Hills to work on her artwork, but Cord's children manage to keep her from doing much work for quite a bit of time. I really found Suzy and Paul to be darling and little Oliver is absolutely precious. I love when children in stories are really viable characters. Suzy and Paul and their art project, as well as their love for Ella's dog, Pablo.
There is very little romance here. Its more a progression of friendship that builds as Ella gets closer to Cord's family. It's not dates that bring about love,but more getting to know each other by spending time with one another. Its also Cord's children the do a lot of the healing in Ella's heart. To explain why Ella needs healing would spoil that part of the story, and I don't want to do that. I think that its enough to say that Cord's children open Ella's heart after a lot of pain, just as Ella helps Cord heal from the loss of his wife 2 years prior. Cord's children also inspire changes in her art.
It's the job offer combined with the secrets that Ella is keeping that provide the conflict here but it is brief conflict which is enough to show them that they really love each other. I would have liked a little more romance between Ella and Cord before their happily ever after though, other than a few kisses that they shared.

Ella is struggling finding inspiration for her career in the art world. She is struggling with many secrets of her past. When she does not find the solidarity she is seeking but a loud, loving family instead is this the answer to many unasked questions or is it more than her heart can take?
Cord is confused by his new neighbor. not certain why she feels the way she seems to about his kids. Will he be able to find out Ella's secrets and help her or is it more than he will be willing to go through.
This was a well written and enjoyable book, however I felt the ending was rushed. It may be the author was limited on the number of words though. I do look forward to reading more from this author.

Ella has lost her inspiration and decides and decides to stay in the cabin she has rented to try and get it back. She was not counting on neighbors or his kids. Cord has 3 kids and they love being in Ella’s yard. Suzy gets help on a project from Ella and gets to know Cord.
I really enjoyed this heart warming story of two people hurt by the past and trying to move on with their lives is harder than they thought. The two work on issues and each other to heal together. The kids are great and bring life into the already sweet story.
The author did an excellent job of writing to draw the reader in and keep the reader wanting to turn the pages. I will be enjoying more books by this author.
