Melody can't help but wonder what the handsome cowboy has to hide and she's not leaving since her contract is with Seth's brother?

Seth Turner manages the families ranch and isn’t happy about his brother hiring the pretty history teacher to dig into their past. But when Melody discovers a treasure map and a Texas legend they join together to find the secret treasure. Soon they are drawn together but Melody has secrets of her own that may threaten to tear them apart?

[Anna's Herding Cats · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aw that was cute. Light hearted in bits but quite serious in others. It was nicely done.

The Gist: Treasure. Melody has her mind set on treasure. Hunting down an old legend and solving a mystery. It just so happens to be on Seth's land and he's...not interested. Even after his brother decides to let Melody spend the summer living on their property. She's tempting, though.

Melody and Seth were a pair. Seth's every bit outgoing and confident to Melody's shy and withdrawn. He says what he's thinking and knows what he's about. Years of family strife, though, have left Melody withdrawn and hidden inside herself. I liked them both. His growly bits and how he softened up as they got to know one another. And how hard Melody was trying to change her life and do something just for her.

Their romance was kinda slow then BAM love. lol They had some issues to get past. His dislike of her treasure hunt, a painful bit of family drama for her. They ruffled each others feathers and had to deal with that. It stays almost entirely PG, too.

The treasure hunt was fun. I always love those. Piecing together the puzzle, the whole will they find it or won't they. It was a nice adventure.

There's a bit of religion in this one. I liked how it was done. It was part of both of their lives and not preachy. Just them both working through issues towards the end and how that related to their faith.

All in all, an enjoyable read. Nice characters, nice adventure. I would have liked a bit more of the romance other than it trickling along and then full out suddenly. Just a smidge more of the middle bits would have been nice. But overall a good quick read.

With the vast majority of reviewers awarding 4 or 5 stars for this work by Debra Clopton, I was prepared to be impressed. But I found myself very much in sympathy a reviewer who teetered between two and three stars and who said, “The story seemed somewhat shallow, the writing somewhat juvenile.” I would probably eliminate the word “somewhat” from that statement. As I read, I jotted down several brief comments: disjointed, awkward dialog, stilted narrative, un-natural conversations, weak transitions, boilerplate scenarios, poor word choices, and burdened with sophomoric writing. I was expecting a story that resembled a mature woman dressed and made up to attend a gala celebration. What I found was a 10-year old wearing her momma's oversized high heels and dress, with smeared lipstick, overdone eyeshadow, and an oversized, gaudy hat. I have read other works by Debra Clopton and awarded 4 and 5 stars for most of them. But this reviewer was not well pleased with this offering and cannot agree with the majority opinion of this book.

Seth Turner of the Turner Creek Ranch finds romance with shy history teacher Melody Chandler in Treasure Me, Cowboy as they embark on a treasure hunt together.

Treasure Me, Cowboy deals with how family members suffer when one of the member is addicted to drugs and alcohol. The story is a strong Christian romance where faith in God is part of the everyday lives of the community. It has humor with the three ladies set on bringing life back to their community by finding brides for the cowboys in the area. It is refreshing to read a good Christian romance with real-life characters that find their way through everyday problems and find their happy ever after ending.

I could not finish this book. Melody and Seth going on and on about her brother, snapping at each other. Not a nice read at all.

[Robin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really do enjoy Debra Clopton's romance tales, especially the ones set in Texas. They remind me so much of the sense of family and community I felt while living there. This tale was so interesting! Texas has a rich and fascinating history so it was nice to see a character who enjoyed researching that. The way the two MCs grew personally over the course of the novel was also interesting to read about. And who doesn't love a good treasure hunt?
If you enjoy contemporary, clean romance and/or cowboy romance, and you enjoy a bit of adventure, you might want to give this book a try.

[Lucy Bilik · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melody Chandler is a history teacher in the elementary school in the small town of Mule Hollow, Texas. Frustrated with having to deal with her drug addict brother, Ty, she decides to get away during the month of July to do historical research. She finds the perfect project on Turner Creek Ranch, where there’s an old stagecoach house containing old journals that might unveil the mystery of the legendary outlaw, Sam Bass. The ranch is owned by the three Turner brothers, Wyatt, Seth, and Cole, with Seth living on and managing the property. Wyatt, the eldest, has made an agreement with Melody to allow her to live in the house for the summer while she does her research, but Seth doesn’t want her or anyone prying into the family’s secrets and disturbing his privacy, so he demands that she leave. Normally shy, Melody, for once, finds the grit to say ‘no!’, setting her on a collision course with the strong-willed Seth.
Surprised and frustrated by her unexpected refusal to comply with his demand, Seth finds himself drawn to her, and when she finds a treasure map, decides to join her in her search for what he thought was a myth, part of Sam Bass’s last big train robbery, which has lain hidden on his ranch for a century. But, before they can deal with the treasure, they must first deal with the feelings that are growing stronger between them, and Melody’s ‘albatross,’ an addict brother who is manipulating her life and getting her to support his addiction.
Treasure Me, Cowboy by Debra Clopton is a western romance novel that introduces small-town West Texas and its colorful inhabitants, with many of the hallmarks of romance novels (without the heaving bosoms and obligatory sex scenes), and a deeply moving story of two people coping with significant changes in their lives. My only complaint was the failure to resolve the issue of the hidden treasure, which I realize was not the main aim of the story, but I’m an adventurer and historian at heart, and it caught my attention. Other than that, though, the story did not disappoint. It had emotions, a bit of adventure, and a lot of small-town humor, which, as someone who grew up in a small Texas town, I could readily identify with.
You don’t have to be a fan of the romance genre to like this book.

Melody plans to work all summer on research at a historic stagecoach house on the Turner Creek Ranch, hoping that she can get away from the emotional baggage that her brother weighs her down with. After living with his problems for so many years, she can't seem to escape the merry go round. But, even though one of the brothers who own the ranch agreed to let her stay on the property, Seth, the one who actually lives on the ranch, tries to demand that she leave. Shocking both herself and Seth, she stands up to him and convinces him to let her stay.

Seth cannot believe what his brother has done. Allowing a history teacher to dig through all the family documents. He doesn't want anything exposed. But, when she shows up with a treasure map, he decides to help her look.

What follows is a story that's much more than simply hunting for buried treasure. Seth is an awesome book boyfriend. I actually like him more than I do Melody. He's gentle, yet doesn't shy away from telling the truth as he sees it. When he learns about Melody's brother, he is brave enough to tell her how to get off the merry go round - whether she likes it or not. And, even though Melody doesn't want to hear the truth about her brother, she needs to hear it. Melody, I suppose, fits the characteristic of a person who's stuck in a dysfunctional situation. Consequently, I am a bit surprised at the timing of the romance. It would have seemed more realistic to have extended it out more - to allow Melody herself to move beyond her past more.

There are parallels in the story - Seth doesn't want his family's past exposed through her research. Meanwhile she doesn't want anyone knowing about her brother. And, they may believe they are seeking a physical treasure, but in reality, they find other, more significant treasures.

All in all, even though I can't totally relate to what Melody is going through, I am able to see Seth's perspective and connect to the story that way. There's not as much humor as some of the author's other books, but there is a lot of sound advice concerning addictions.

Romance - PG / kissing
Language - PG / clean
Violence - threatening situation concerning Melody's brother
My rating - 5 stars

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the first book of the Turner Creek Ranch series. This can be read as a standalone and ends nicely with a finished ending. This is a nice, clean read with likable characters and an easy storyline. This is Seth and Melody's story.

Melody Chandler is a history teacher who is looking forward to spending her summer getting lost in researching the history of a historic stagecoach house on the Turner Creek Ranch. She is also escaping the stresses of her brother who can't get his life together and uses her kindness to continue to manipulate her into supporting him. There is only one problem...the co-owner of the ranch does not want her there.

Seth Turner manages the family ranch. He has lost his sense of adventure over the years, so when he finds out his brother rented Melody their family's stagecoach house for the summer, he is less than pleased. He doesn't want anyone digging into their history and inviting unwanted guests to their property. The only issue, he can't resist Melody and the urge he has to protect her from something.

This is a nice story with likable characters. I will say, Melody was a bit frustrating at times. She has reasons for her initial need to keep her brother and his issues a secret, but it went on far too long. Seth was great and patient. I really enjoyed him and the relationships he seems to have with his brothers. The other secondary characters were enjoyable and added to the story. Once Seth and Melody gave in to their attraction the relationship moved really fast, but overall this was a nice, clean read. ⭐⭐⭐

[Jan Niblock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the stories of Mule Hollow and how the cowboys there are sensitive and caring individuals. This is the first of the Turner series and I enjoyed the interplay between Seth and his brothers. The author is very good at bringing in current social issues and blending them into the stories.

Melody is one strong woman who really doesn’t feel or think that she is strong. She feels guilty all of the time because of her brother. She tends to hide because it is easier than having to face dealing with the real problem in her life. She loves history and that makes her come alive. Now she has a chance to read real historical journals and no one is going to take that away from her, especially the owner of the house, Seth Turner.

Seth Turner is a cowboy set in his ways and likes his ranch and things around it to stay exactly the same. He doesn’t like intruders and is not happy with Melody renting the stagecoach house on his ranch. He is mad at his brother for allowing it in the first place and plans to put Melody off his ranch and send her back to town. How does that work out for him?

I enjoyed this story because it blended real life personalities and problems in a well written story. You have romance, people protecting their property and their secrets, drug addiction and a real treasure hunt, what more could you want in a story?

[David B Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a fellow writer of Christian fiction, I tip my hat (not a cowboy hat, but oh well) to this prolific writer for such an entertaining book. The western setting is fun and authentic, and her writing moves the dramatic adventure along at a brisk and satisfying pace. I devoured “Treasure Me, Cowboy” in two sittings and found the romantic interplay enjoyable. Things like rodeo dunk tanks add color to this drama about a whirlwind courtship.

One element often trips up writers in this genre, and that’s the God factor. In Debra’s book, most of the spiritual aura happens in the culminating third, but when it comes along it’s nicely nuanced. The great majority of books in the Christian-fiction realm either contain an imperceptible whisper of faith . . . or are clunky and heavy-handed. This good book doesn’t have any of the faux joviality that deadens many faith-based stories. She hits a cheerful balance in that regard, which is tough to achieve. The subplot with the drug-addicted brother is also unpacked in a gritty and sympathetic way.

I’m particularly in awe of the fact that Ms. Clopton has built a successful franchise of these well-received series. That’s tough to do, as all writers in the year 2020 know full well.

Worth a look!

I have never failed to be entertained by my friends who live in Mule Hollow, Texas, since I first visited there along with Lacy Brown. The people who live there are usually as real as some of my actual friends and neighbors with some of the same kinds of issues they run into. I appreciate how Debra Clopton gives some good, sound, biblical advice to meet daily issues as well as really big problems.
When an author is as prolific as Debra Clopton, it is unlikely that every book can be termed their best work. I am not sure that I think this book fits that description, but I found it another really good read. I suppose that the story line is a bit superficial, depending on what one is looking for, but one of the things I appreciate is an occasional lighter read even when it deals with a fairly heavy subject such as drug addiction. I do agree with some of the other reviewers who mentioned that the end seemed a bit rushed. However that did not take away from my enjoyment of the book, nor will it keep me from other opportunities to spend time with friends in Mule Hollow. I have frequently encouraged friends to do so as well.

[Linda · Rating 1 out of 5]

I am glad I got this book for free since it would have been a waste of my money otherwise. The errors in grammar and spelling bothered me and the times the author tried to have a few people sound like hicks with bad Texas accents. I thought the main character Melody acted like a spoiled brat instead of the supposedly Christian woman that she was. She was demanding to get her own way where Seth was concerned, staying the the stage coach house, getting upset when Seth didn't want to spread the news about the treasure even though it was his land, but then turning into a total doormat when it came to her brother. The story rushed at the end where Melody wasn't sure that Seth could really love someone like her and she also wanted time to work through her emotional issues of dealing with her brother and that load of garbage, then bam, she loves Seth plan their wedding and are married.
This book comes across like it is a first time effort at writing and a bad one at that.
Not going to waste my time checking out any more of this author's books.

This Melody and Seth's story.

I loved this story. It was about a girl named Melody who loved history and is a teacher. She rented an old stagecoach house for the summer to do some research on the local history. The research was about a guy named Seth's family. Seth's brother signed the lease so she could stay there for the summer. However, Seth lived and worked on the ranch. Melody found a map of treasure on the ranch. He didn't want anybody coming on his ranch looking for a treasure. He wanted her to leave. When she refused to leave, he became attracted to the way she stood up to him. Melody convinced him to help her find it. As they searched, they grew closer. I loved the way Seth didn't have any interest in her until she stood up to him. Then he noticed how beautiful she was. Anybody who loves clean cowboy love stories and especially this authors stories, anyone who was interested in history and likes a good ending would want to read this story. It was an interesting and sweet story, and that's why I gave it this rating.

[Amy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Obviously I worked on this book a long time. I had no motivation to read it. I was excited for this book, since I thought it would have genealogy (one of my hobbies) and some mystery, and a Cinderella type story, which is what the title and synopsis led me to believe.

Nope. Teacher lady rents a house from male protagonist’s family without male protagonist knowing. She snoops in some journals and reads about a treasure. Meanwhile, teacher’s druggie brother is manipulating her to send her money. Teacher decides to find treasure, male mad so goes with her. They bond. Male mad that brother is taking advantage. Both teacher and male are convinced the other has no attraction to them, in spite obvious evidence, including kissing. They find a cave and figure out they’re in love. The end.

I’m glad I finally finished so I can put it in the garage sale pile guilt free.

[Timothy Hendricks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book very much. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought the next book in the series. It is a good wholesome read with no cursing or sexually suggestive dialogue. I enjoy very much the relationship that develops between the principle characters in this book, Seth and Melody. These characters are very well developed. Melody has a brother that is a drug addict. And for a very long time in her life everything has been about Ty and his addiction. It not only affected her life as well as her self worth; but also that of their parents. Their parents are deceased and responsibility for her brother has fallen on her shoulders. She as well as her parents have been praying to God to help Ty overcome his addiction; but have never been willing to turn it over to him. Melody is also a history teacher and researcher.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had it all - love between Seth and Melody, drama with Melody's brother who was on drugs and expected her to pay his rent and bills (which Seth was dead against), and the treasure map. It's hard to have a family member who is abusing themselves with drugs and alcohol. Melody had a lot of guilt because she promised her dying mother she would take care of her brother. But Seth could see how it was hurting Melody and wanted her to stop. This issue almost drove them apart. In real life, this is a big issue and hard to give tough love to the person you love. Melody overcame her guilt and gave her brother options for treatment centers instead. He ends up going to one because he finally wanted it for himself. That's the key - they have to want the change. The treasure - well I guess it wasn't meant to be in the gold, but was in the love Seth and Melody had for each other.

Letting Go

Seth Tanner has met his match in Melody Chandler. He thought the history teacher was going to be a pushover and he could scare her off his family ranch! We learn that where history is involved, Melody will fight for the knowledge.

With this information, Seth is completely stunned how she allows her older brother to walk all over her. He is a drug addict and even though Melody promised to take care of him, Seth knows she needs to let go and start living her life. She put so many things on hold as she tries to keep her promise to her now deceased mother.

As Melody takes off to confront her brother alone, Seth knows she is in danger. Will Melody survive her encounter? ~

Suspenseful and Adventurous

I love Debra Clopton Parks books and I look forward to reading "Rescue Me, Cowboy, book 2 with Cole Turner and Susan Worth. I should be good.

I enjoyed reading about the treasure trip Seth and Melody were on, but a little disappointed that they didn't find the treasure they were looking for.

Of course love finds each other in the end and here is a quote from page 267:
"You know, this is just a thought, but you said you were basically exhausted and feeling weak. Maybe that's where you need to be in order to see God's plan already. And maybe, just a thought, maybe someone to see things in black and white is the answer you need."

Happy reading!

This book a great start to the Turner Creek Ranch series and I can't wait to read the rest of the books. I think I was able to relate pretty easily to Seth Turner as I have a tendency to want to control things myself. From the start of the book I was hooked by the interactions between Seth and Melody, the relationship between the three brothers, the humor throughout and the appearance of some of the beloved characters from the Texas Matchmakers Series. I felt the way the subject matter of the Melody's brother's troubles was handled very well - could easily have weighed down the story. You can't go wrong reading any of Debra Clopton's books.

Sweet read

On a ranch that's been in the family for over a century is an historic building that was once a stage stop. Legend has it that the last member of a gang that had robbed a bank had left his saddlebags full of gold coins hidden in a cave on the ranch as he was dying. He was said to have left a map.

Melanie gets permission from the oldest brother to stay at the old stage building. Seth, the middle brother isn't happy at all. He hates strangers on the ranch - especially possible treasure hunters.

Seth and Melanie are attracted to each other and end up treasure hunting together. Their antics are fun to watch.

I purchase a copy of the novel TREASURE ME, COWBOY: Enhanced Edition (Turner Creek Ranch Book 1)/Texas matchmakers aka Lone Star Cinderella by Debra Clopton and this review was given freely.
A faith filled romance with colorful characters, loving interfering brothers, a quest for both Texas history and treasure, and a Christian struggle with Faith, family drug addiction, self esteem and love.
History teacher Melody Chandler spends the summer rearching the Turner Creek Ranch's historic stage coach house but instead of the peace she was expecting, she finds herself challenged by Seth Turner, frustrated by her brother, and doubting God.

When hunting for treasure leads to the unexpected

Melody is a history teacher that is looking for the post treasure hidden by a stagecoach robber from the 1800's. She signs a lease to move into the stagecoach house for the summer break to research. Seth doesn't want anyone digging up on his land and demands she leave. When the mouse teacher from town turns into a spitfire, he gives up. After finding another diary hidden, Seth agrees to help her......but are they looking for treasure or each other???

Fun story

This was a fun plot. However, it was rushed at the end. She accepted his love rather suddenly after believing it was impossible. And why did he switch his attitude on people knowing his land secrets, other than saying it was a new day? I would have enjoyed more of the thought process here. What did they end up doing with the stagecoach inn? Except for her being too stubbornly independent, it was a fun mystery.

[Dorothy Beer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Treasure me,Cowboy

A nice simple story Melody had allowed herself to become a crutch for her brother and his addiction, that she had not allowed herself to assert herself. Standing up to Seth brought out her true personality. She gained the strength she needed and he learned to become more tolerant and understanding. Even though they didn't find any treasure, they found each other. Would give it 5 stars

[Eileen Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Romance and mystery

Melody is a quiet school teacher who loves history. So why not spend the summer researching local folk lore and treasure stories. Seth owns a ranch and is hard headed and used to be in control of everything. Having Melody living in his stagecoach home is not his idea but he is stuck with it or is he? Throughout this book melody and Seth butt heads and the tension I strong but will that bring them together or forever drive a wedge between them.

Wow

This was a very touching book. I had a relative who was an addict. Not a sibling, but he stole from us to support his addiction. It is a blessing to see this issue in a book, its a very emotional issue to go through. But all things are possible with God. This is a wonderful book that everyone can enjoy, even if you have never dealt with an addicted relative. I loved reading this book.

Enjoyable Texas romance

The romance aspects were good. But what really was compelling the airline's problem with her drug addicted brother. Her dilemma unfortunately is becoming more common and I think she was spot on when it comes with dea l ing with that problem. All too often people are literally killing their loved one with kindiness. Without going the ending away. I recommend reading the solution for an example of possible solutions.

Treasure me Cowboy

Great read, about lost treasure and love. The search for a treasure and the chance to enlighten history in the making. This was a great story and I am sure that in the past many have searched for a treasure of some sort and ended with a happy reunion with the love of their lives. The word of God is also a treasure for those same who believe and the help they give others to believe as well. This is my review And mine alone. Norma Gorrill
