A Baby for the Texas Cowboy: A Surprise Pregnancy Western Romance

The Texas Wolf Brothers #3

by Sinclair Jayne

Neither one of them had any intention of settling down… Tinsley Underhill left everything behind five years ago and hasn’t looked back. She loves life on the road following the American Extreme Bull Rider’s tour representing sponsor Four Wolves Whiskey. She rocks sales and pouring shots, and the bull riders are a sexy perk. She exults in the flirting and the chase, but when she lets her favorite champion catch her for a steamy fling, she knows they both have one foot out the door. Bull rider Anders Wolf is on top of more than just the leaderboard. Life is good. Women are better, especially the intriguing and gorgeous Tinsley. The fireworks are more explosive than he imagined, but even the best mind- and body-blowing pleasure must end. No way he’ll be roped early…then Tinsley casually announces she’s pregnant. Anders intends to do the right thing, but Tinsley’s plans don’t include him, marriage or happy ever after on his Texas ranch. Anders has never backed down from a challenge, and he’s not about to start now.

About the author

Sinclair has loved reading romance novels since she discovered Barbara Cartland historical romances when she was in sixth grade. By seventh grade, she was haunting the library shelves looking to fall in love over and over again with the heroes born from the imaginations of her favorite authors. After teaching writing classes and workshops to adults and teens for many years in Seattle and Portland, she returned to her first love of reading romances and became an editor for Tule Publishing last year. Sinclair lives in Oregon’s wine country where she and her family own a small vineyard of Pinot Noir and where she dreams of being able to write at a desk like Jane Austen instead of in parking lots waiting for her kids to finish one of their 12,000 extracurricular activities.

This is the third and I believe final book in this series and like the rest it is a sweet romance where you fall in love with the Wolf brothers

Anders Wolf is a bull rider at the top of his game and that gives him plenty of women chasing him and he is fine with that after all he wants no woman tying him down There is only one woman that he looks at more than once and that is the beautiful Tinsley Underhill a woman who also travels with the American Extreme Bull Rider’s tour as a representative of the sponsoring whiskey comapny. They end up having a fling but this one has consequences wen she informs him she is pregnant. Anders should be running for the hills but when she tells him she is capable of having and caring for the baby without him all he wants to keep them both.

Anders Wolf is a bull rider who is sitting at the top of his game. He attended the double wedding of his two brothers and spent the evening in the company of a young lady he knew as Whiskey. She worked for his brother August selling alcohol.

She shows up at one of his events and has a big announcement for him. From this point the story tells how something so wonderful but so unexpected and planned can change your entire life.

The book is full of emotions, has some great characters and makes you a little sad when you are finished because you won't be spending your days and evenings with them. Loved the book and think you will too.

I received this arc from Tule Publishing in exchange for an honest review. This is the final book in the Wolf Brothers series. Book 3 is Anders Wolf’s book. He is the youngest of the 3 brothers. He is a bull rider with the elite American Extreme Bull Riders Tour. Anders had a couple of nights with Tinsley, who worked for his brother’s whiskey company following after the tour. The two had another night together when she was working his brothers’ double wedding reception. She realizes a while later that she's pregnant. She makes the decision to show up at the stadium after an event and tell Anders about the baby.

Tinsley arrives and tries to talk to Anders in private but he forces her to tell him her news in front of the group of other bull riders. He doesn’t react and she runs out before they can talk it through. Outside the arena she meets Anders’ brother August who offers her a job as tasting room manager for his wine company based in Last Stand since her position with the whiskey company has ended. Anders tells his brothers about the baby and decides he wants to marry Tinsley and raise the baby together.

Tinsley is very independent and isn’t happy about the baby and tries to push Anders away. She doesn’t want to marry him and figures he won’t want to have contact with her or the baby. The Wolf brothers and their wives bring her into the midst of their family and include her. She and Anders have a lot of chemistry but because of an abusive ex and uncaring parents she is afraid to take a chance on him. Anders doesn’t give up on her so things get interesting and steamy.

This was a terrific book and a wonderful series. I loved all the characters and their interactions. I liked that the author included all the characters from the prior books in this story as well. I’ve given it 5 stars.

This is Tinsley Underhill and Anders Wolf's story.
She effortlessly kicked out a long, toned leg, revealing black and silver cowboy ankle boots.
“I did wear my favorite dancing boots. They double for many other favorite activities.”
She stretched, arching her body back, and reached behind her all while her leg hovered a few inches above the counter. Her gauzy dress followed the lines of her body, revealing curves he ached to touch and taste again. His mouth watered, and a small voice of reason urged him to walk away.
Anders Wolf kicked back in the white wood rental chair, easily balancing on two legs, and surveyed the crowd dancing in his family’s large and supposedly haunted East Barn. His two older brothers had married today. Anders had written two speeches as the double best man. Both had killed. He’d worn a western-style tux without complaint—that had been easy since the tux had been a gift from a designer for doing a photo shoot earlier this year for a men’s athletic magazine. He’d posed for pictures—he was used to that with his career as a top bull rider—toasted the brides and grooms, danced with both sisters-in-law. He’d even choked down a few bites of each heavily frosted wedding cake.
He would have preferred pie. Apple.
He took out his phone and brought up the list he’d started when his best friend had married several years ago. He added pie to the list and then in parentheses Char-Pie, a local Last Stand Texas shop where two sisters baked and served the best pie in the country. Anders knew. He traveled a lot.

This is one of those books you can't help swooning over the hero. Anders was amazing and the reason I enjoyed this book. A bull rider at the top of his game, Anders is not ready for settling down; not for at least another five years. He loves his life on the AEBR tour and the success he is having. Was Anders a ladies’ man? Yes, he was. But I wouldn't call him a womanizer at all. Anders had manners and consideration for others. He was an all-around good guy, loyal friend and a loving brother. Any success he received, he earned. And he couldn't wait to continue the ride he was experiencing. As you know, life isn't always what we expect or even want. When life throws a curve at Anders, without hesitation, he knows he is going to do the right thing. Anders is going to be a father and without a doubt, he will take care of his child. Anders wants to take care of his child's mother too. Tinsley isn't having any of that. For reasons that will reveal themselves to you as you read the book, Tinsley is not one to trust easily. She is independent and refuses to allow anyone to do anything for her. She doesn't want or need Ander's help and she tries very hard to push him away. And this is where I tell you that for me, Tinsley was not easy to like, even though I knew her reasons for wanting nothing from Anders.

I won't get into the details of the book because that's a literary ride you'll want to experience for yourself, and make your own opinions.

This author is one I have read a few times before. The pace of this book is steady and the writing style is one that I relate to. I should also say I love the way this author sets her scenes and gives us plenty of information regarding characters' occupations so we can continue reading with a steady flow and not have to stop and look things up. I was not only entertained with A Baby for the Texas Cowboy, I felt like I received a lesson in some aspects of the wine industry as well.

All in all, a very enjoyable read. This book is part of a series giving us the stories of the Wolf brothers of Last Stand, Texas. I think the author gave a hint to what could be the next book, starring an ex-military hero. That is just a guess on my part but I hope it will be true.

This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

A Baby for the Texas Cowboy has been an absolute pleasure to read. Set in Last Stand, a small town in the Texas hill country, this is the third in Sinclair Jayne’s Texas Wolf Brothers series and like the others, it is filled with family values, people who really see each other and love what they see, whether it is the couple starring in the book or the family members that invariably help them to negotiate their road to true love.
I loved the hero of this story. Anders Wolf, a champion bull rider in the AEBR, has a list of attributes for his perfect wife listed on his phone, though he’s not ready to go looking right yet. His plan is another five years on the circuit before he settles down. Anders is so cool and confident in everything he does, effortlessly attracting adoring looks from women and friendship from his male colleagues, but he really has to fight to win the love of Tinsley Underhill, the girl who somehow sneaked under his skin and wrecked his perfect wife plans.
She’s a real kick-ass heroine, rides a Ducati like a bat out of hell, is outstanding in her marketing work and fiercely independent. Getting pregnant certainly doesn’t fit with her lifestyle and I loved the way she had to assess her whole approach to life to fit a baby and just possibly the baby’s father in.
The push and pull between these two is fabulous. Tinsley gives as good as she gets, and as a result the pages just fly by. In between the sparkling dialogue we get a peak at the author’s skill in setting a scene or diving into a character’s feelings. I loved how she described Anders’ concerns about winning Tinsley’s heart: “He was going to need more than luck. He was going to need a miracle sprinkled with magic and peed on by a unicorn.”
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s great as a stand-alone but the other two books in the series are also excellent reads so why not start at the beginning and work your way through. You won’t be disappointed.

Reviewed at Keeper Bookshelf

It’s always a bittersweet moment for me when I come to what appears to be the final story in The Texas Wolf Brothers series. A Baby for the Texas Cowboy brings together two people with sizzle and chemistry yet at different places in life and mindset. Anders has run the rodeo circuit, topped the leaderboard and pretty much lived the high and good life through his talent. Tinsley has her ideal job working for the Four Wolfs Whiskey company, run by Anders brothers. One amazing hook-up, one failed birth control, and Tinsley is facing motherhood but has no intention of roping her cowboy into marriage – Anders has other ideas. The resulting clash, sexy moments, family inclusion and truly falling in love with the least expected person makes for a delightful romance full of sass, past wounds, family and a couple who if they’d only get out of their own way could find a happy ever after future together.

Understanding Tinsley’s past makes her bullheadedness a bit easier to take, but she could certainly annoy at times. Anders is a good man looking to not only “do the right thing” but work on the feelings he already has for this whiskey lady of his, but it’s not going to be an easy fight and Anders is not above bringing in the family, especially the wives to show Tinsley how good they could be together. I had fun with this one, and it’s always a treat to have the previous couples included in the everyday life and loves of the current couple. If you love a good romance between stubborn people with an interesting secondary cast then you’ll want to pick up A Baby for the Texas Cowboy real soon.

A Baby for the Texas Cowboy is the third book in The Texas Wolf Brothers Series by Sinclair Jayne. I love Ms. Jayne’s cowboys along with the strong women who come to love them. While the unexpected baby is not my favorite trope I enjoyed reading this book. The emotional upheaval goes on within and between characters that Ms. Jaynes writes which is evident in this book. Plans shift, characters readjust their dreams after some drama and resistance.
It was interesting to see who was on the side of marriage or not between Tinsley and Anders. Also to see it played out with the American Extreme Bull Rider backdrop. It had been a while since that setting had come up in the books. Then the characters’ backgrounds and reactions kept the story realistic, being strongly developed.
Overall a great story that I enjoyed. A Baby for the Texas Cowboy reads well on its own; no confusion or problem if you haven’t read the two previous books in the series..
An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The flip in this plot is it’s the bull rider who is ready to settle down, not the woman who became pregnant after a hook-up. Tinsley is fleeing a bad family situation and has gotten a job following the bull-riding circuit so she can market whiskey. When she finds herself pregnant, she tells the father, the leading bull rider on the circuit, Anders Wolf, and he almost immediately wants to marry her and be a good father to their baby. This is a sweet story of both people learning what is necessary to take a mature approach to the curveballs that life throws at them. Anders is a great book hero - sexy and muscular, but also kind and loving. I got rather tired of Tinsley’s attitude and refusal to really accept her new reality, but I enjoyed Anders’ perseverance.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from the publisher; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

This is sadly the last book in this wonderful series. This book is about Anders Wolf who is ready to leave the rodeo circuit and settle down just like his brothers. Only problem is the woman he wants to settle down with isn't interested in settling down. Tinsley Underhill is finally living the life she wants on the Extreme Bull Rider's tour as a rep for Four Wolves Whiskey. She is bright, charming and loves to flirt and the chase. Tinsley lets her favorite bull rider catch her one night and well neither are expecting birth control to fail.

With an unplanned pregnancy between them, things start to heat up between them. Anders wants to marry Tinsley and settle down, She wants nothing to do with his plans. She has no plans to settle down anytime soon and especially on a Texas ranch.

Settle down for a wonderful read and enjoy the chase.

I did receive a copy of this novel in advance from the publisher in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

Anders is a bull rider at the top of his game with no intention of slowing down and settling down any time soon. He has an idea of what his perfect wife will be but he isn't ready to start looking for her. Tinsley has something to prove. That is why she is fierce about her independence. She is a rep for the sponsoring whiskey company. All the cowboys hit on her, but she only lets one get past her defenses. Anders, the one who calls her Whiskey. They have a fling with an agreed expiration date. That is until they hook up again and she ends up pregnant. She doesn't want anything from him, definitely not his money. She just wants him to know about the baby and she will handle the rest. Despite being handed a get out of jail free card, he wants to marry her. Tinsley wants nothing to do with him. The more she pushes him away the more determined he is to make them a family. Great read!

I’m glad I accepted this book from Tule publishing to read for an honest review. Even though I started this book on the last in the series I wasn’t lost & really enjoyed it. Author Sinclair Jayne weaves a wonderful story. Drama, heat & humour topped up this storyline & kept me wanting to read this book. The drama from Tinsley’s past has pushed to hard to be the total opposite of how she grew up. Anders a top bull rider is on the hunt for a championship & is surprised when his vision shifts after receiving the news that he’s going to be a dad. The oops has sent Tinsley spinning & she’s not ready or accepting of Anders ideas that they should get married. The ensuing chase to keep Tinsley in Anders life has many humorous turns but also a few emotional ones as well. The heat between Anders & Tinsley was sear the page good when they did finally start their new relationship. My only wish for this book would’ve been for us to see Anders & Tinsley dealing with the baby, I’m sure that would’ve been quite humorous. I’ve already bought the first two books in this series to read about the brothers. Recommend to read.

This is the third book in this series. Although I have not read the first two books I really enjoyed this book and was able to follow along fine. For me this book was very entertaining. Anders is a bull rider. He enjoys woman but does not care to be tied down. Tinsley travels with the bull riding tour as a representative for a whiskey company. These two end up having a fling and Tinsley ends up pregnant. The twist of this story is that Anders want to settle down with her and she says she can handle it on her own. I think the twist makes the book very interesting. I would highly recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

The story of Anders and Tinsley. She is pregnant after a fling with him. Neither are ready to settle down, but he wants to marry her and take care of her all the same. She is having none of it, not wanting to give up her freedom and independance, so will she give him a chance?

I like how the story is told from both of their points of view, and you learn more about the characters as they open up to each other.

Earning respect and love

Tinsley had had a dreadful childhood. She had escaped from her earlier and had made a new life of her own. Then she met Anders Wolf and could not understand what he saw in her. Slowly though, Anders managed to win Tinsley's love and build a secure strong permanent relationship together.

Another great book with the Texas Wolf brothers. I adore the sense of family and loyalty in these books and Anders Wolf like his brothers is the perfect man. I really loved Tinsley aka “Whiskey” she is such a strong woman overcoming so many obstacles and still able to take a chance despite all her hurts.

As with the previous books of the series it was set in Last Stand which I cannot get enough of. The author creates such amazing characters for you to fall in love with that have such depth and relatable struggles you can really relate to them.

This was the third in the Wolf brothers series. I loved them all. It was nice to follow these brothers and their women, and what it took to get them together. Great series!

[Sandi Ramirez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just knew that Anders was going to be the hottest Wolf brother and he didn't disappoint me to the least. Now I thought he would be a hot rodeo cowboy and that would be why I would fall for her much like Whiskey did but NOPE that is not why I did and I think most of the readers have as well. Author Sinclar James just knows how to give us a wonderful story that not only tells us about new characters while catching us up on past characters at the same time.
