Joley McBride had no interest in Nate Garrigan…even though he’d made it crystal clear that he wanted her. The rich and handsome rancher was the kind of man she'd sworn off years ago.
But now, part of her beloved flying school was in his hands and Joley would do anything to get it back—including agree to his arrogant demand that she spend a month on his isolated cattle ...more

This story was just ok. It was engagingly written, but could’ve been a lot shorter as the conflicting emotions and ensuing inner monologue of the MCs were recycled a lot. The characterization was decent, but there was the small matter of the H blackmailing the h into doing what he wanted. The angst was decent but started to drag after a while. This story would also have benefited from another edit as there were quite a few word usage and other grammatical errors. I didn’t love this story but it

anyone who loves a darn good romance read
I love a story where you're drawn in from page one and Helen Lacey's The Cattlemans Proposal did just that for me.
Joley McBride has just watched her best friend marry his wife and as bridesmaid she cant wait to leave. To fill in her time she gets drunk and makes the biggest pass at Nate Garrigan by telling him he can have her... litterally! During the second chapter boy did I giggle, I loved the refreshing honesty of Helen's writing. How many times do you get to read about the heroine in the ...more

Joley McBride had zero interest in Nate Garrigan. He was the type of man she had fallen for in the past...and it always ended in heartbreak. She needed to steer clear.
When news arrives that her business partner and best friend had put their flight school into financial ruin, she was devastated to find that Patrick had sold his shares to his new brother-in-law, Nate Garrigan without talking to her and her father. Now he holds her and her father's business in his hands and she will do whatever it ...more

Every woman dreams of a rich successful good looking man to sweep her off her feet. But what if the proposal is merely to satisfy his own needs, and all you are to be is his bed-mate and mother of his children.
Sounds completely unacceptable, yet this is the situation Joley faces in the new Helen Lacey read. Mr-I-don't-believe-in-happy-ever-after- Nate knows what he wants and what he wants is Joley.
She is the perfect candidate to be the mother of his children, wife when needed and all without any ...more

I loved this heart-warming story. A very gorgeous cattleman with trust issues after being betrayed. A strong heroine who knows what she wants and does not hesitate to go for it.
Highly recommended for all lovers of romance!

Nate Garrigan had what he thought was the love of his life. But just a few months into his happy ever after, his wife walked away from the marriage. Nate is still looking for a woman to be a wife, and to have children with. If there is chemistry between them, then that will be a bonus. But when it comes to love … forget that. Been–there–done–that-not–gonna–happen-again. He believes Joley would be the perfect woman for his future.

This book is hard to review. I've complained before about Goodreads rating system and I wish they could fix it for new books. The 5 star ratings hurts books like this. This is better than a 3, but I can't really give it a 4. This is probably a 3.5. I would recommend this book - it is will written, sweet, a little steam, and I l adored Nat and Joley. It was an easy read and a great way to pass the time waiting for the superbowl to start and ignore work :) Some of the story felt a little rushed,

Simply too much- 1.5 stars
This book didn't work for me. The story was a little cliche while being overly conservative, or at least excessively concerned about propriety. I found the heroine to be massively uncertain and a bit immature. There was a ridiculous amount of internal dialogue and "should I/shouldn't I", making the story drag. The chemistry was constantly referenced, but it never came across to me as the reader. It was a case of tell vs show. Finally, I found the writing and ...more

On the day of his wedding she finds out that he has sold his shares to his brother-in-law and she is in financial ruin. Nate is the new brother-in-law.

Nate and Joley both have trust issues. Joley doesn't trust men and she is so busy trying to save her family business. Nate wants a family but doesn't really believe love lasts. Put these two together add some angst and an accident that makes them see things differently and you have another fantastic story by Ms. Marshall. You will find yourself cheering for them to find what they both truly want. Such a lovely story to curl up in a comfy chair with.
Great story
A sweet read with some stubborn characters. Strong heroine, which I always enjoy. I love flying so I was excited when I read she was a pilot. It's something I always wanted to do and never had the opportunity. Anyway the book had very few errors and was well written. I very much enjoyed the writing style. Good read all around.
