Wild Love, Cowboy: The Portree Cowboys Series

Rate this book
She’s a fiery, smart-mouthed city girl and world-class swimmer – Small town intolerant, pepper-averse and allergic to unsolicited cowboy charm – about as cuddly as a cactus.

So when I find myself in a store aisle, holding her red lacy underwear and giving her my best Cowboy drawl...
She looks about ready to set me on fire instead of saying hello.

It’s adorable. It’s a challenge and I accept.

Because I live for the challenge. Heck, the Rodeo world calls me the main event.
The town calls me trouble, but they don’t know my big ‘ol smile, hides a past that's got me rooted to this land.

Mia might be here by mistake and can’t seem to leave my town soon enough.

Too bad fate keeps shoving us into the kind of situations that make it real damn hard to keep a straight face or keep my hands off her.

She keeps telling me this is temporary. That she’s leaving.

But I’m a man of action.

I keep showing her exactly why she should stay.

Overall, an enjoyable read! Great banter, lovable characters, and that small-town charm you just can’t resist. This series shows a lot of promise. Can’t wait to see where it goes next…

Wild love,cowboy started in December 25. Finished. 1/1/26

This book dragged from the beginning and I struggled to connect with it. I normally like a cowboy romance but I really struggled with this book. I nearly DNF it but thankfully it started to get good about halfway through and then I kept on going and actually enjoyed the rest. I don't know if it was because I've had so much going on over the festivities and didn't have time to read as much as normal leaving large gaps between reading this book. 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured this book like it was the last slice of peach pie in Texas!🤣 I was hooked from the first chapter theough to the epilogue. The banter? Top tier.
The chemistry? So electric I almost short-circuited my Kindle.
The emotional tension? Immaculate.

Mia is witty, sharp-tongued and secretly soft. Grant is everything I crave in a romance hero—cocky but grounded, loyal, and so incredibly hot. The way he worships her? Chef’s kiss!!!❤️

What really sets this book apart is how it balances laugh-out-loud moments (hello, Deep Heat disaster 😂) with genuine emotional depth. You’ll fall for the Taylor family, you’ll want to pack up and move to Portree, and you’ll never think of LinkedIn, Deepheat or sneezing in the same way ever again!! 😂😂

If you’re a fan of Elsie Silver, Paisley Hope, or grumpy/sunshine forced proximity with soul-melting spice, Wild Love, Cowboy needs to be at the top of your TBR.

If Yellowstone and Emily Henry had a steamy, hilarious, emotionally loaded book baby—this would be it.
I don’t say this lightly, but Wild Love, Cowboy just ruined me for all other cowboy romances.
This book had me CACKLING one second (please see: the Deep Heat disaster and Mia’s rabbit-slipper meltdown), then clutching my chest the next. Grant and Mia’s chemistry? So hot 🔥 The banter is whip-smart, the emotional moments hit like a freight train, and the slow-burn tension will keep you up at night❤️
It’s steamy, it’s heartfelt, it’s funny as hell, and it’s so beautifully written I already want to reread it.

If you're into:
✔️ Grumpy/sunshine
✔️ Forced proximity
✔️ Cowboy swagger + emotional depth
✔️ Banter 🤌🤣🤣🤣
✔️ Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Then Wild Love, Cowboy isn’t just a book, it’s a whole damn experience. 🤠❤️‍🔥
Can’t wait to read Mason’s story!

Absolutely obsessed with this book! Mia and Grant’s chemistry is Explosive. The slow burn had me feral. The tension. The banter. The accidental yoga. THE DEEP HEAT SCENE—IYKYK. (And if this book ever comes out in audio? I will personally pre-order just to hear THAT scene in a Southern drawl. Priorities.)

Ellie Wilder absolutely nailed the balance of hilarious, sexy, and emotional, and I already know I’ll be rereading this.
If you love cowboys, forced proximity, chaotic heroines and hot men doing emotional labor in the kitchen, read this book immediately.

I know book 2 will be a while, but for now I’ll settle for the super hot TikToks of Grant (This got me hooked on the books before the series even got released and it was awesome to put a face to words in the book 🫠)…but please don’t take too long with book 2 release🙏🏻 Can’t wait for the next Taylor cowboy!

Did this book have me up till 2am: Yes! Was it worth it: ABSOLUTELY! If you’re looking for a book that makes you laugh, swoon, scream into a pillow, and then ugly cry in the best possible way—Wild Love, Cowboy is it. Full stop.
Mia and Grant’s love story is messy, magnetic, and so addictive. Every scene crackles with tension—whether they’re fighting, flirting, or… well. You’ll see. 😉

But what surprised me most was the depth—this isn’t just a hot cowboy romance (though don’t worry, it absolutely is that). It’s a story about grief, growth, family, and figuring out what it means to stay when running has always felt safer.

By the time I hit the epilogue, I was ready to buy a one-way ticket to Portree! Drop book 2 now! Cannot wait!!

This book💯!!! I laughed, I swooned, I highlighted the hell out of every spicy, emotionally devastating line. And the way this book balances heartfelt moments with steamy tension and unfiltered humor? PERFECTION.

Run! Don’t walk-to meet Grant Taylor and the whole Taylor family! This book had everything I love in a cowboy romance:
✅Hot AF Cowboy with such a dirty mouth, that SHOWS how much he adores his Queen FMC
✅A slow-burn that finally snaps in the most deliciously explosive way
✅ Chemistry that burns through the pages
✅ Banter that is so sharp and witty
✅ Found family, grief, healing, and growth

Their dynamic? PURE GOLD.

Can’t wait for the next one on the series!

I’m officially obsessed.🥰 Grant and Mia’s story isn’t just a romance—it’s a wild, slow-burn, emotionally loaded rollercoaster that grabs you and doesn’t let go. The banter? Hilarious. The chemistry? Off the charts. The emotional gut-punches? Perfectly timed.
Grant Taylor is the cowboy who will ruin you for all other book boyfriends—rugged, loyal, a little broken, and absolutely feral for the woman he loves.

If you love small-town romance with depth, spice, and a cowboy who loves HARD?
This is your next read.

This book roped me in from the very first page and never let go. It’s the perfect mix of laugh-out-loud humor, heart-melting romance, and just the right amount of heat.

The pacing is sharp, the chemistry is off-the-charts, and the emotional beats hit harder than expected for a rom-com, which honestly made me love it even more. If you’re into cowboy charm, whip-smart dialogue, and love stories with depth and spice, this one’s a must-read.

10/10 would let Grant Taylor stomp all over my heart again. 🤠

A fiery, smart mouthed heroine, a cocky cowboy who lives for the challenge, and chemistry that sparks from the first page. This book is witty, flirty, and packed with laugh out loud moments balanced by real emotional weight. I loved the sharp dialogue, the irresistible push-and-pull, and how fate keeps throwing these two together when they least expect it. It’s charming, swoony, and impossible not to smile through. A fun, addictive small town romance that delivers heart, heat, and humor in all the right places.

Damn this was a great book!!!!🔥🤠If you love HOT cowboys with rough hands and soft hearts, then Grant Taylor is it!!🔥🤠 The love between Grant and Mia is amazing and he definitely shows it! He’s the “if he wanted to, he would type!”. I love the whole Taylor clan, can’t wait to read Mason’s book.

Tip, don’t eat while you’re reading about Deep Heat, I nearly choked from laughing so much!!!😂 I can’t recommend this book highly enough!❤️
