A Cowboy State of Mind

Creedence Horse Rescue, Book 1

By: Jennie Marts

Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin, Connor Crais

Scarred and battered loner Zane Taylor has a gift with animals, particularly horses, but he's at a total loss when it comes to knowing how to handle women. Even though he's sworn off love, he can't seem to stay away from Bryn Callahan. He's known for being a horse whisperer, but can't seem to find his voice at all where Bryn is concerned.

Bryn Callahan has a heart for strays, but she is through trying to save damaged men. She vows to only date nice guys, which is a category that does not include Zane Taylor. Too bad he's the one who sets her pulse racing every time she's around him.

Starting a horse rescue ranch wasn't in Bryn's plan, but try telling that to the assembly of abandoned animals that have found their way to her doorstep. And when a chance encounter with a horse headed for slaughter brings Zane and Bryn together, they find themselves given a chance to save not just the horse, but maybe each other....

A thousand times exactly perfect! 🩷 Bryn & Zane

This book by Jennie Marts ( a new to me author) is delightful! This story is about Bryn, a big hearted waitress in a small town who saves a horse, and ends up running an animal rescue ranch. As it turns out, she rescues humans along with animals ‐- well, one human at least -- Zane. Zane is a cowboy and "horse whisperer", who's more at ease with animals than with people. He has a lot of "baggage" as well as physical scars from past abuse, past loss, and war. This book made me LOL, cry, and laugh some more. The 2 scenes where the ladies from Kansas visit the ranch with a "Tiny" request and where a nurse/old friend/angel dispenses some wisdom in a hospital chapel are my favorites. The narration was performed by Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin, and was perfect! They brought all of the characters and emotions to life so beautifully. Greatly enjoyed it.

Just a simple and nice love story.

Really like the simplicity with a little drama. Easy to listen to and decent narration.

Be Prepared

Wasn't prepared for the tears this one will surely spring on!
The animal rescue dynamic of this book will bring on some unexpected emotions about how some people can be s cruel to animals and the way the hero ties this in with his own story.

Very well written, very emotional.

AWESOME narration by Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais

****Does include some elements of animal abuse, but not by the hero or heroine****
