We're celebrating the release of Country Hearts by Cindi Madsen! This is a sweet cowboy romance from Hallmark Publishing that you won't want to miss!
Release Date: January 21, 2020
Laid off from her teaching job in the city, Jemma Monroe takes a job teaching in a tiny town and rents a house on the outskirts. A visitor soon shows up at her door—a horse. His owner, a handsome neighbor in boots and a cowboy hat, comes by to collect him.
When single dad Wyatt Langford meets Jemma, it’s the first time he feels interest in a woman since his wife left. But she’s his daughter’s new teacher, so they both know they should keep their distance.
Nonetheless, Wyatt keeps finding excuses to spend time with Jemma, and Wyatt’s daughter becomes more and more attached to her. With them, Jemma discovers the good things about country life, from starry skies to s’mores cooked over a fire. But she still misses her past life in the city. Is there any reason for them to dream of a future together?

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Jemma has just been laid off from her job and she takes a temporary position for a teacher who has gone on maternity leave. The city girl finds herself out in the country where her first visitor is a horse looking for carrots. Her second visitor is her neighbor, who also is the horse's owner.
Wyatt is an honest to goodness cowboy. He's also a single dad who is raising his adorable daughter, Bailey Rae. (side note: Bailey Rae was absolutely adorable and also hilarious and everything I want from a child character in a book). Taking care of the farm and raising his daughter is pretty much all he has known the last few years so Jemma coming into their lives is a breath of fresh air.
This book is a slow burn (a la Hallmark), but that didn't matter to me. Jemma and Wyatt started as neighbors, but they find themselves growing closer in no time. It helped that Jemma was Bailey Rae's teacher, so between the neighbor thing and the teacher thing, the two of them find themselves in each other's company quite often.
This book is the sweetest! I was left with the warm and fuzzies by the end. And with it being under the Hallmark publishing brand I can easily see it as a movie, so let's just all keep our fingers crossed!
Cindi Madsen is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance and young adult novels. She sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting, revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she'd be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a pretty new pair, especially if they're sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music and dancing and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband, three children, an overly-dramatic tomcat, & an adorable one-eyed kitty named Agent Fury.
