BOOK REVIEW: The Cowboy’s Least Likely Bride by Megan Crane

The Cowboy’s Least Likely Bride by Megan Crane

Family Matters of Cowboy Point (Book 1)

Tule Publishing (February 19, 2026)

She’s chaos in scrubs. He’s control in cowboy boots. And the sparks between them? Wildfire.

Tennessee Lisle has spent his life holding everything together—his family, their businesses, the town that relies on him. He doesn’t bend. He doesn’t break. And he definitely doesn’t fall for reckless, barefoot dreamers who talk to deer and smell like wildflowers.

Except…he might be falling for one anyway.

Matilda Stark has zero interest in playing by Cowboy Point’s rules. She’s a vet tech with a rescue animal problem, an ancient truck, and a lifelong thing for the brooding cowboy who acts like feelings are a four-letter word. Tennessee is quiet, steady, way too serious—and more addictive than sin.

He’s her opposite in every way. But Matilda’s sure they fit.

When she decides to take the initiative in the form of a puppy, it becomes clear that Tennessee will have to choose: keep playing it safe, or risk everything for the only woman who’s ever made him feel.

And Matilda? She’s done waiting. If this is real, she’s not letting him walk away.

Not without a fight.

REVIEW

Fun read. Complete opposites of Tennessee who is all order and sternness falls for the towns bit odd, spontaneous Matilda. Loved the new found family of Tennessee siblings and look forward to each of their HEA.
