Home for a Cowboy is a great start to a new series for Amy Aislin. The book a very sweet (with heat) New Adult story about one young man with a broken heart and another who wants to date him.

Lassiter’s (Las) long time relationship with his best friend and lover ended when Ben decided not to come back home after he went abroad for an exchange program. Las was left with a broken heart. It’s now a couple of years later and Marco stirs something in Las that he hasn’t felt for a while. He can’t believe that he impulsively invited Marco to come to Wyoming for the summer.

Marco has never felt really comfortable around crowds – not even his own family. He loves them but he’d rather enjoy his large, boisterous, Italian family in smaller doses. His mom and dad can’t understand why he’s not ready to make a decision about what he wants to do now that college is over. When Lassiter invites him to come work on his family’s guest ranch for the summer, he sees it a chance to get away from all of the pressure.

Home for a Cowboy is a great slow-burn story. Las resists all of the advances Marco makes toward him until he finally breaks and gives in to what he really wants and then things heat up between them. He’s steeling himself, though, for the end of summer when Marco will leave.

Amy Aislin’s writing is richly descriptive. I don’t know if Windsor, Wyoming is a real place or not but the beautiful way that Amy describes it in this book makes me want to visit there. I feel like Home for a Cowboy is a fairly low angst story. There are a few tense moments between Las and Marco but my overall feeling after reading the story was one of happiness for Marco and Las.

I love the rich cast of secondary characters, including Las’s family, and hope that we will see more of these characters in future books.

A note from Amy Aislin:

Home for a Cowboy is about giving love a chance and discovering where you belong.

If he was honest with himself, Las was seventy-five percent of the reason Marco was here. An invitation to work at the Windsor Ranch wasn’t what he’d expected when he’d asked Las out on a date a couple of months ago on a cold April night. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected exactly, so Las’s rejection hadn’t come as a surprise so much as taken the wind out of Marco’s sails. But a firm no thank-you followed by a job offer? It was out of left field but so what? After all of thirty seconds of weighing the pros and cons—the cons consisting mostly of having no idea what he’d do on a ranch, the pros consisting entirely of Las . . . okay, almost entirely. The rest was made up of nonexistent plans for after graduation—he’d agreed.

Maybe it’d turn out to be the stupidest decision he’d ever made given he’d never been on a ranch. Or near horses. Or cows. Or any large mammal, really.

But spending the summer with Las? Getting to know him better than their quick encounters at the small, outdoor coffee shop—the Coffee Cart—that Marco had worked at on campus had permitted? Maybe becoming something more than friends?

Sign him up.
