Grumpy Cowboy by Max Monroe is the third book in the Single Dad Collection series, but I read it as a stand-alone 
with no problems.
I have just recently been introduced to these two authors and have found every one of their books to be hilarious. Not only hilarious while reading them but I have found myself laughing later when I think about the book or see the picture again. Their books are memorable unlike so many others I have read recently.
This book fits their mold with noteworthy characters, family bonding, and quirky heroines. It was paced perfectly, and the storyline was developed and interesting. There were a few scenes at the beginning where I felt the dialogue was a little forced, but it got smoother as the book progressed.
Dr. Leah Levee just started her new job as an ortho physician with the Salt Lake Slammers basketball team when her new boss asked for a favor. His good friend Tex Jameson needed help caring for his fourteen-year-old injured son and since wanting to make a good impression with her boss, she went. Only to find herself in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, Starbucks, or city conveniences. Her patient turns out to be a grumpy cowboy that was definitely not a fourteen-year-old.
Rhett Jameson had given up the rodeo circuit when his daughter Joey was born. Now he is a single parent and working on the family ranch. He let his pride get in the way one night when his friends taunted him to ride a wild bronc and he ended up injured. He is too stubborn to let an injury keep him from his responsibilities. So, his father takes it out of Rhett’s hands and hires a physician to keep Rhett from doing more damage to his leg. Rhett tries to outrun Leah and her medical assistance but as she continues to find him, his respect for her grows.
When I read the blurb, I had doubts about a romantic comedy starring a cowboy, but the authors made it work. Rhett was a strong stubborn cowboy and Leah was quirky and a city girl. So if you want to see ranch life from the eyes of a city girl and have some good laughs, this is the book for you!

ATTENTION: If you have been a victim of false advertising, you may be entitled to compensation. If you were ever hired to take care of a fourteen-year-old boy’s knee injury on a luxury ranch in the Middle of Nowhere, Utah, but that fourteen-year-old boy ended up being a tall, rough-and-tumble, muscular, one-hundred-percent all-man cowboy by the name of Rhett Jameson, you may have been put at risk for falling in love. Please seek counsel immediately.
Dear Counselor,
It was supposed to be simple favor for my very important boss, Frank Kaminsky of the Salt Lake Slammers professional basketball team—go to his good friend Tex Jameson’s luxury ranch and provide personal medical care for his recently injured teenage son.
I thought it’d be a working vacation of sorts—a chance for my city-girl self to experience something I would never otherwise do—but everything is upside down, and absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.
For one, this patient is not a teenage boy.
He’s a real-life, blue-eyed, tough-as-nails, thirtysomething cowboy who is so darn strong he looks like he could lift a car just for the heck of it.
He’s also stubborn, rude, and we don’t get along…at all.
Add in the heart-melting vision of him as a single father to the cutest little girl on the planet, and I’ve found myself in a whole different dimension of trouble.
Lust. Feelings. A whole lot of enemies-to-lovers-style complication.
Please help me. My name is Dr. Leah Levee, I am a victim of false advertising, and if I’m not careful, this Grumpy Cowboy might just be the death of me.
