Loving Her Best Friend Cowboy: Ty

New Horizon Ranch: Mule Hollow #4

by Debra Clopton

Best friends forever…happily ever that is…Christmas wedding bells will be ringing if the Matchmakin’ Posse of Mule Hollow can get this stubborn cowboy and cowgirl together under the mistletoe for the most anticipated kiss of the holiday.

Will Ty Calder, mild mannered partner in the New Horizon Ranch, get his secret Christmas wish and heal his lonesome heart this season? Find out in Book 4 of the New Horizon Ranch/Mule Hollow series.

Horse trainer Ty Calder did the right thing four years ago and sent his best friend, Mia Shaw off with a hug and best wishes in her quest for her rodeo dreams to come true. But now she’s back for the Christmas holiday and he’s not sure he can send her off again without revealing his true feelings…

Mia is back in Mule Hollow healing up from an injury that could end her run for the championship. But, lately her heart’s not been completely committed to her rodeo dreams and Ty has her thinking he might just be the reason.

Suddenly, tensions are running high between Mia and Ty…sparks are flying and have been spotted by the Matchmakin’ Posse. Now these two are dodging mistletoe, matchmakers and the kiss they’re both fighting to avoid and longing for.

But Ty can’t believe Mia is ready to give up on her dreams when she’s so close…he knows it means more to her than most people realize. No matter how much he wants a life with Mia he refuses to stand in the way of her dreams even if it means losing her forever…

It may take his four partners at the New Horizon Ranch and the town of Mule Hollow to get these two believing Christmas is especially the time that love can conquer all.

This is going to be one Christmas these two will remember forever…

New Horizon Ranch book 4 – Ty lives up to what you would expect from a Debra Clopton series book. You have life, love and adventure.
New Horizon Ranch has five owners, one being Ty. Ty is the horse trainer, or horse whisperer, on the ranch. Since high school Ty has been in love with Mia Shaw. But Ty is the ever faithful friend who sent Mia off to fulfill her dreams.
Mia Shaw came back to town to heal her knee after an injury on her horse during a championship rodeo event. When she came home to the ranch she loved and her beloved uncle he just up and left to marry his soul-mate, leaving Mia in confusion and feeling lonely.
Now Ty had had a Christmas wish to have a do-over since high school with Mia and was hoping that while she was home it would happen.
To find out if the wish comes true you will have to read the book! Sorry...no hints. But I can tell you that you will love this book as much as I did!

TY : New Horizon Ranch (Mule Hollow) #4 I enjoyed this storyline very much ... high five for the Matchmaking Posse this time around for the effort on their quest to get two hearts together !

Mia and Ty have a connection from their youth ... Ty taught and coached Mia on handling a horse for competing in the rodeo and off she went on the rodeo road chasing her dream. When she was on the top of her game she ended up having to come home for a spell .
It was great that Mia was home to visit with her Uncle Huey who added a few surprises and concerns of his own for Mia to deal with .

During her time home, the Matchmaking Posse involved her helping to get the town ready for the Christmas Festival .... which was rather interesting and fun ! It set off a flurry of anticipation and wondering what might unfold .

Well sometime later ... sure wasn't what I expected it was quite the turn of events and frightful !

It can be read as a stand-alone, but great and enjoyable to read along as part of the series New Horizon Ranch: Mule Hollow.
I loved reconnecting with elders of the town and particularly stopping in at the local gathering spot in town Sam's Diner.

I'm looking forward to catching up with another one of Ty's partners at the Ranch they inherited.

This is a sweet good hearted and romantic love story.

... and I managed with no spoilers ! Yay !.
Now time to get yourself to reading this book ! Enjoy ... I did.

Anything Debra. Anything Mule Hollow. Always a good read.

[Dawn Pearson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ty Calder has loved Mia since they were kids, but as her friend, he never wanted to stand in the way of her dreams. But, when she returns to Mule Hollow after an injury, he struggles with revealing his feelings to her or stepping back and watching her leave again. Yet, with Christmas approaching, he can certainly wish for the best.

Mia Shaw has been chasing a dream on the rodeo circuit. But, when she hurts her knee, she is forced to return home - where Ty is. Can she be around him and not give up her dream? The problem is that she's not sure exactly what that dream really is. Whose dream is it?

This is my favorite of this series so far. It checks a lot of boxes for me. It's romantic, not overly angsty, clean & wholesome with just enough spice for interest, and has a good theme to support the plot - following one's dream and determining exactly what that dream is.

Ty is an awesome book boyfriend and I appreciated how he gave Mia her space yet made it clear that he was there for her. I also loved all the supporting characters in the book, including getting to know Dalton better.

Romance - PG / kissing
Language - PG / clean
No violence, but references to injuries and dangers around a horse.
My rating - 5 stars

Ty: New Horizon Ranch Book 4 is by Debra Clopton. It is the final in the eight-book series. The series is excellent as is this book.
Ty did the right thing four years ago when he let Mia Shaw go off to find her dream of a championship in the rodeo. Now Mia is back. Can Ty find it within himself to tell Mia how he feels about her? Will she leave anyway?
Mia Shaw is healing from a knee injury when she come home. Her Uncle has taken care of her since her parents died. Now he tells her he is leaving and marrying a lady from Arizona. He wished he could have done more for her; but hadn’t. Now she could get on with her life here on the ranch until it was time to go rodeoing again. Would it be enough?

Ty is the fourth book in the New Horizon Ranch: Mule Hollow series. Mia has been away on the rodeo circuit, but is home for the holidays. Ty has had feelings for her and now he is not sure that he can keep them to himself while she is back. What will happen this time between them? Will he be able to just be her friend? Or will he let her know? I loved this story. I definitely recommend it!

Book report on
Name of books TY
Author Debra Clopton


TY and Mai fall in love for the second time after reconnecting at an auction when Mai takes in her horse named Sinbad In Oder to sale him Ty tells her that she could get more for the wild stallion with a little training and since Ty knows how to brake horses he trains him for her.

Another Win

This book seemed almost bittersweet at times, and at others, the characters were so frustrating! I enjoyed reading and watching the plot unfold.

I love that I can count on Debra Clopton to write a clean, inspirational romance that's actually romantic, fun, and clean. If you enjoy the same type of story, please check this one out.

[Jan Niblock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this story because it just shows that you can fall in love as a teenager which could survive growing up. Mia and Ty were always good friends and they filled the places in each other’s heart that were missing even though they didn’t know it. The ending had some nice twists to what you knew would happen because it was Mule Hollow and the Posse was involved.

[Debbie Odachowski · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series!

What happy reading! Some books give you a happy feeling from start to finish. Throw in some exciting events and the Matchmaking Posse and you get this series.Enjoy!

[Suzette Valentine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Christmas wish

A short sweet story of teenage love that stands the test of time. Their love of horses and the land brings them together. Lighthearted small town life makes a perfect backdrop for the story.

[cheryl bunting Rose Bud · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good but not as good as the last book.

I had high hopes for this book , though it had a bit of excitement I found it didn't top the last book . Still a wonderful love story.

[Debra A, Mathews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

Very loving Ty and Mia are perfect for each other. They finally found each other after many years of being on the rodeo circuit

Cowboy Heaven

I am loving the cowboy theme. Good storylines but the books could be a little bit longer to read. Just feels like they don't really end right.

[Valri Western · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another superb book in the series of New Horizon Ranch in Mule Hollow, Texas! Each one can stand alone but I love them all! This time we get to learn Ty's story. He's kind of a quiet guy and has supported his other rancher friends as they've found their "one true love" but he didn't think it would happen to him. He had already fallen in love with Mia Shaw when they were younger but he let her go to follow her dreams on the rodeo circuit. There has never been anyone else for him. Imagine his surprise when he goes to a horse auction and there's Mia trying to calm down a crazy horse who looks like it's about to stomp her! Ty rushes in to get the horse calmed down and find out why Mia is suddenly back in Mule Hollow. So begins Ty and Mia's story. Mia has to find out what she really wants when an injury forces her to re-evaluate her future and is the rodeo really what she wants or was that her father's dream? Ty wants Mia in his future but he doesn't want to keep her from her dreams again so he'll try to be there for her but it's getting harder not to ask her to stay....... Great Story!!!

[Kame · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have a thing for second chance romances. This might be my favorite so far in this series.

I need to read the next to finish the 5 partners then I am taking a break.

I need a book with more involved plot. This are a little easy on this ranch

Ty by Debra Clopton
A New Horizon Ranch of Mule Hollow Series Book Four
Ty Calder has a secret Christmas wish that only he knows about. Now it's almost Christmas again...and he once again wishes for what he may never get. It'll be okay though, he'll just work that much harder with the horses he trains on the ranch he has a partnership in.

Mia Shaw is back in Mule Hollow, Texas. It's been four years she was away while she rode the circuit. A bum knee has brought her home for the holidays. Home to Uncle Huey and her family ranch. A ranch that reminds her that she lost her parents so many years ago. Maybe this trip she can make some good memories.

Welcome back to Mule Hollow and all the wonderful characters who live there. Especially the Matchmaking Posse and their talent for sniffing out single folks they think belong together. It doesn't take long for them to set their sights...and skills...on Ty and Mia.

All Ty Calder wants for Christmas is the opportunity of a do-over, but he doesn't really expect to get that when he unexpectedly encounters his old friend, Mia Shaw, at the auction barn. It's been years since they've talked to each other, but they have been friends since they were in school. Ty helped Mia with her riding and then he let her go to follow her dream of being a rodeo champion. Now Mia is back in Mule Hollow for a little while and it's quite possible that there are romantic sparks going off between these two friends!

I enjoyed reading this western romance and am looking forward to reading more in this series.

[June · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved Ty's story and the renewal of high school friendship with Mia.

The Posse didn't have a whole lot to do with this romance, and the mistletoe kind of fell by the wayside in the story. Ty never did pull it out of his pocket and use it. Other than that, the story was good. It was good that Uncle Huey found some happiness and that Mia finally realized what her dream was.

Looking forward to Dalton's story next.

[Robin Franks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good read

A good addition to the series and a great story. I was very disappointed that the book was so short. This was more along the lines of a novella than a full size book. $3.99 was a lot to pay for such a short book. Hopefully the last book in this series is a much longer story.

[Peggy Kuntz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't get enough of this series!

Stubborn people who are afraid to admit their feelings seems to be a cowboy trait. Tyler was more stubborn than most, but Mia helped bring him around even though she matched him in the stubbornness department. Another good story.

[Robin Dix · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. This is the fourth book in the New Horizon Ranch Mule Hollow series. Sweet and funny romance. Two people who love each other shouldn't try so hard not to. Glad they could finally get it together. Cute characters.

[Patricia · Rating 5 out of 5]

i enjoyed reading the story very much, i have read several of the series and they are very good. if you like cowboys and romance you will like the books. i was given a book, i am giving an honest review.

[Alisha Grant · Rating 4 out of 5]

love getting to visit mule hollow for a short trip. cute romance about people realising their dreams

[Joan Arning · Rating 4 out of 5]

As usual, Debra Clopton's leading characters are strong individuals. Ty is another of the handsome, caring, clean-cut cowboys who inherited a ranch at Mule Hollow. The Matchmaking Posse of Mule Hollow has Ty in their sights in this book. You will enjoy this tender story of Ty and his long time friend Mia, a rodeo star. I received my e-book from the author. This is my honest opinion.

[Kristine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another winner

I really fell in love with the characters of this book. Ty was a great main character who wanted something and felt like it was out of his reach. Hiding ones feelings only makes one miserable

[Elaine Applebury · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just LOVE Debra Clopton's books!
