Hello Friends :)
I pray you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me here today on The Preppy Book Princess.
I'm sorry that I haven't been around here much lately. My family has been going through really challenging times the last couple of months, and honestly, it's felt like we've been under pretty much constant satanic attack. I don't want to go into all the details, but I'd much appreciate any prayers you'd be able to send our way. So many Christians I'm hearing from are suffering through stuff right now, and if I can pray for any of you as well, please reach out and let me know.
With everything that's been going on, I haven't had quite as much time or energy for my blog to be honest. However, one of my all time favorite authors has a book releasing next week, and I knew I needed to share about this one with all of you.
Mistaking the Cowboy by Mandi Blake:
Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author
Publication Date: November 17th, 2020
Genre: Christian Fiction/Romance
Series: Blackwater Ranch
Synopsis:
She kissed the wrong cowboy, but what if he was the right one?
Haley Meadows was so excited to meet the man she’d been chatting with online that she greeted him with a kiss only to find out she’d planted a big, messy, passionate wet one on his brother instead! She has to spend the rest of her vacation at Blackwater Ranch pretending that she didn’t kiss the wrong cowboy and like it.
Asher Harding is knocked off his feet by an auburn-haired beauty, but his infatuation is quickly squashed when he finds out she mistook him for his brother. She becomes a staple at the ranch during her visit, and getting to know her only deepens his desire for the one woman he can’t have.
As Haley gets to know the Hardings, she finds herself torn between protecting her heart and giving it away to the man she’s falling for. In the moment of truth, she’ll run for the one who stole her heart.

My Review:
With how much objectionable content that's starting to show up in contemporary publishing, (even some from Christian publishers), I continue to be extremely grateful for amazing Christian authors like the lovely Mandi Blake who continue to provide us readers with clean, faith based romances that I don't have to feel uncomfortable reading. From the sneak peak we were given at this one in the last Blackwater Ranch title, I had a feeling I was really going to end up enjoying it, and spoiler, I did! I think readers everywhere are going to fall head over feels for Haley and Asher's quirky but heartfelt romance, and this is definitely the perfect holiday romance to get you into the Christmas spirit.
While Haley and Asher's romance might start out pretty non traditional, I really ended up enjoying how much depth that Mandi puts into their relationship. Haley has a crippling fear that's holding her back from truly living her life, and Asher's family bond is so strong that he refuses to act on his feeling's for Haley when he thinks his brother was interested first. Their romance begins as a beautiful friendship, which I always appreciate in romance novels, and the reader gets a first hand view of their feelings starting to develop into something more. I also always love how Mandi includes many appearances from previous main characters in the series, as it always feels like getting to connect with old friends.
I can honestly say that Mandi Blake's writing keeps getting better and better, and that she has definitely been using her God given talents to honor Him. Every time I pick up one of her titles I know first and foremost that faith is going to play a big element in the story, and she has yet to disappoint on this for me.
I can't recommend this one enough, and I already can't wait to read the next title in the series. Definitely go ahead and pick this one! You won't be disappointed.
Final Rating: 5/5.
Thanks so much to Mandi Blake for allowing me to read and review this!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Enjoy your week :)
