Talk Dirty, Cowboy

Dirty Cowboy

De: Elle Thorpe

Narrado por: Sofia Lette, Dorje Swallow

Eight seconds to glory. One second to lose it all.

Bowen Barclay lived to ride bulls—until his single-minded focus cost his wife her life. Four years on, raising his son alone is the only thing he’s getting right. His rodeo career is going down in flames, and instead of dating, he’s playing his kid’s video games.

Paisley Ackerly loves to sing. Loudly and offkey, but in the privacy of her run-down home, it’s only her children she’s torturing. Until her 10-year-old leaves his gaming console on, with a handsome cowboy still on the webcam, listening to every word.

Being accused of internet creepery isn’t the best way to meet a woman, but when an instant spark ignites between the two, it isn’t long before online chat spills over into real life dirty talk.

But while Paisley might love Bowen’s filthy mouth, when the pressures of his public career and her secret past explode, words won’t be enough to save them.

This single-parent romance brings the steam against a backdrop of professional bull riding, rodeo, and small-town cowboys.

How their relationship got started

The ups and downs of them building their relationship and the ending was a magical moment.

Hot Australian rodeo cowboys

I love a single parent book. I love a cowboy book. Put them together 🥵🥵. Bowen is a widower with a 10 year old son. His wife died while he was away at the rodeo. He feels unrelenting guilt for not being there so he throws himself into every rodeo he can attend. Paisley is a divorced mother of two. She’s barely making ends meet while her rich POS ex doesn’t help her at all. The two meet when their sons play a video game online together. I love the narrators although as a southern American, when they try for the Texas accent some of the characters have, I cringe a bit 😂. But this is one of my favorite rereads and I loved the audiobook too.

Bowen made this book

I wanted Johnathan to get his just desserts. That didn't happen so the points given reflect that.

Bowen and Paisley

I loved their first interaction! The singing in the background over a Playstation? Too funny! The only criticism I have is about the ex-husband. Nothing felt resolved with him and I wish he would have paid for, at least, a little bit of Paisley's troubles - since he was mostly responsible for them. Otherwise, loved it!

So, Australia doesn’t enforce child support?

Basically like the concept of the story, but I find it hard to believe that a wealthy man, with no record of strong political influence, gets by without providing financial support for his children. Which, if it were only a small part of the story, wouldn’t raise that many “no way in hell” reality flags. But it’s entire premise of the story, so sorry, but it makes it hard to not want to, figuratively, shake the heroine until she hires a good lawyer. Kept waiting for her to, but she accepts her circumstances until the very end.

I'm Officially a Fan

Elle Thorpe is officially my all time favorite author for cowboy romances. I didn't think I would love Australian cowboys with rodeos and bull riding as much as I have listening to her series. The voice actors did such an amazing job!!
