In Having the Cowboy’s Baby by Trish Milburn, Skyler Harrington is a planner, she plans up to the last detail in her life in minute detail from one minute to the next, which is the only way that she is comfortable. After the tumult of her childhood she needs predictable and safe, it is only understandable, but she takes things to an extreme. But when her friends decide to plan something special and different for her 30th birthday, she knows that things will not be either safe or predictable.
Logan Bradshaw likes living life on the edge. He likes the rush and adrenaline that riding a bull and jumping off a plane give him. So when he is asked to jump off a plane with a newbie in place of his cousin, he doesn’t mind. What he doesn’t expect is the redhead with an air of distrust, uncertainty and disapproval. A challenge he cannot wait to meet by making her enjoy the jump no matter how much she says that she will not.
Skyler may have enjoyed the jump, but she will not admit it, since she wants her life safe and her friends will not allow her that if she acknowledges how much fun she had. Now to finish her birthday she just wants to go to the movies and then go home. But once again her friends have planned something else, and after the movies she finds herself having a birthday celebration with a drink and music. Only she runs into Logan there as well.
When Skyler is asked onto the stage for everyone to celebrate with her, Logan can see how uncomfortable she feels, to the point that he doesn’t know whether to laugh or to take her way from there. But he decides to just see what happens. The next thing he knows after the attention is off her, he finds Skyler making a run for the exit. And what seemed like just a challenge and fun, suddenly become much more when his attraction for her becomes undeniable.
What Skyler believed to be the perfect ending for her birthday in the arms of Logan the night before, in the bright light of morning she believes that she must hide and not repeat ever again. But things will not be as simple as that. For her one night with the cowboy has consequences that she will have to decide if to share with him or keep him in the dark.
Logan does not know why he cannot get Skyler out of his mind. He just knows that as soon as he can he will return to Blue Falls, Texas and be back to see Skyler. Only as he return and checks in at Skyler’s inn, he finds himself arriving on the wedding day of Liam and India. And finds Skyler in a gorgeous dress that he cannot wait to see if he can remove. But life has ways to make things right and during a fall when Skyler freaks out and wants to be seen by a doctor, Logan finds out that he is to become a father.
Logan may not have thought of wanting to settle down, but once he finds out that he will be a father he wants to make sure that he will be there for his child. And wanting to be close to Skyler he will help her clean her park, which is next to her inn. But convincing her to give him a chance to get close to her and their child will not be easy, for Skyler does not her child to live the way she did in the hope that his or her father will return from one of his many trips.
Logan will have a hard time convincing Skyler to give him a chance, but his feelings for her and their child will not allow him to give up on his own family, and will bring him closer to his parents and siblings once again.
Having the Cowboy’s Baby is the second book in the Blue Falls, Texas series. As you may remember in the first book, Elissa’s matchmaker aunt Verona will strike again, this time with Skyler and Logan in her sights. But what she doesn’t know is the problems that both Logan and Skyler have to solve within themselves before they give each other the chance and commitment that they both deserve. Oh and I just love how Skyler always wears her hair in a bun so as to not show what she considers her carrot top, but starts to wear it down just for Logan, it is just so sweet.
If you want a sweet and fun read with a hot cowboy and a headstrong inn owner who will not bend easily to other’s will, don’t miss Having the Cowboy’s Baby by Trish Milburn. And I can honestly tell you that I can’t wait to see whom will Elissa be paired up with. 😉

A New Plan
Skyler Harrington is a planner. After the tumult of her childhood, she’s built a life for herself in Blue Falls, Texas, that’s comfortable, predictable, safe. The last thing she needs is to go gaga over a rodeo cowboy. It felt great to let her hair down with sexy Logan Bradshaw, but she’ll be happy if their paths never cross again.
A surprise pregnancy is something neither expected. Skyler has no intention of letting her baby grow up the way she did, with an unreliable father. She’s willing to raise their child alone, but Logan is determined to prove there’s more to him than being a devil-may-care risk taker. He’s daddy material!
