Courage County Brides #6
The Cowboy’s Sweetheart
Rule #1 of becoming a mail order bride: never fall in love with your cowboy groom.
Cade
She was the prom queen. I was the dork everyone made fun of. One moment of kindness from her changed everything for me.
Years later when I'm in need of a wife, I hear she's in a desperate situation. I've never forgotten her kindness and now it's my turn to repay a debt.
But the fake marriage between us isn't supposed to lead to real feelings. It certainly isn't supposed to spark this protective desire I feel toward her or her young son.
Natalie
Appearances can be deceiving. Being beautiful when I was younger was an advantage. Until my father married me off to a cruel rancher who kept me under lock and key.
Now I'm a widow but getting away from the farm was an act of survival. I’m trying to figure out what to do while I’m seven months pregnant and have a young son. The only thing I’ve ever been is a cowboy’s wife.
With my funds and my hope dwindling, I apply for one of those little ads to be another man’s wife. A temporary marriage just until I can get on my feet will be enough.
But Cade isn’t what I expected. The man is kind. He’s good to my son and he spoils me. Too bad I’ve already been down this road before. I know what happens when you fall in love with a cowboy.
If you want a pregnant widow romance with a gentle cowboy who’s determined to win the heart of this hurting woman, then it’s time to meet Cade in The Cowboy’s Sweetheart.
The Scott Brothers are fierce cowboys in need of mail order brides so they can claim their rightful inheritance. But that’s not the only thing these rough and dirty cowboys plan to claim! Each book in the Courage County Brides series is standalone with NO cheating and NO cliffhangers. Just a sweet, sexy HEA so you can get your swoon on.

Single Mom Needs a Cowboy
Just loving this cowboy series. Mia Brody again gives us another differently abled (I think that’s what I’d call it) Cowboy. Cade is such a sweet wonderful man and I’m glad he got his HEA with Natalie.

Cade has an ostomy bag. Wow. Years ago, I had to have one for 3 months. Cade's is permanent; mine wasn't. I love Natalie's perspective on it...she tells Cade that he doesn't need to be ashamed of it because it's the thing that saved his life and is keeping him alive. Rather than looking back on that time of my life in embarrassment, I hope that I can remember from now on that it saved my life. It's true.

📚The Cowboy's Sweetheart 📚
By Mia Brody
Format: eBook (Kobo Plus) 📚
POV: Dual
Setting: The Scott Ranch, Asheville -Courage County
Trope: Mail Order Bride, Alpha Cowboy, Single Mom
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spicy: 🌶🌶
Review:
This is the sixth installment in the captivating Courage County Brides series. The Scott Brothers are grappling with their grandfather’s passing and the unique stipulation in his will regarding their inheritance. They must get married to receive their shares, and their grandfather covered all bases. He enlisted a mail-order bride matchmaking service to pair them each with a bride. This book tells Cade’s love story.
Cade had reached a point where he felt ready to accept the possibility that he might never find his person. Living with a chronic medical condition can be isolating, and he often grappled with the challenges it presented. Meanwhile, Natalie bravely applied to be a mail-order bride, seeking a fresh start. When Cade asked the matchmaker if he could meet her, he felt a mix of hope and fear, unsure if she would see beyond his condition. In a moment of vulnerability, he proposed a marriage in name only, wanting to protect her from any expectations. Natalie, still healing from the scars of an abusive past, approached the idea with hesitance. Yet, as they began to connect, the deep love and unconditional acceptance they offered each other began to shine through, creating a warm and supportive bond that neither had anticipated.
Mia Brody has a remarkable ability to portray characters that reflect real-life struggles, including chronic medical illnesses and disabilities. In her latest book, she introduces a character who has endured the pain of an abusive relationship and a difficult past. Her talent for creating complex, memorable characters is truly inspiring and resonates deeply with readers. It’s this genuine approach to storytelling that I deeply appreciate in her work.

Cade has long been a loner due to health issues (ileostomy) and childhood bullying, but now his grandfather's will requires him to find a wife in order to inherit the beloved ranch where he lives with his seven foster brothers. When he meets his mail-order bride-to-be, he's stunned to find it's Natalie, the beautiful cheerleader from high school whom he worshipped from afar. But Natalie's life has been hell, married to a controlling abusive man, mother of one child with another on the way. She and Cade need each other, but can they overcome her fears and his health issues to find forever happiness?
This is a neat series premised on eight foster brothers having to marry in order to inherit their land, a ranch on which all of them found safety and security as troubled, desperate children. Their late grandfather, who outlived the foster parents, contracted with a mail-order bride service to ensure his wishes were carried out. There is so much to this series I tore through it one book after another. Very much recommended for those who love steamy cowboy romance books.

Another serious topic woven in a beautiful HEA. This series gets better with each book if you read it all. It gives a great feeling about the characters, the family bound, the love they have and so many insights about all the different kind of hardships. Above all these stories are about acceptance and deep love. And this sixt book surprises again with new kind of hardships and ways to a happy ending, trough acceptance and love. Very beautiful!
All of the books do not lack in spice and hotness as well, but I really love the fact how beautiful the inside world of the characters is - the depth of the feelings described in these short stories is amazing.

great read
I loved this story. I have read the last four books. The first two I am going to go back and read. This series is a pleasant surprise and I am loving it. A very wonderful family took in eight boys and raised them to be loving, respectful, strong men. Now the eight foster brothers have to marry if they want to keep the land their grandfather left them. This series has me in awe. Cade has a medical condition but it doesn’t stop him from getting his bride, the girl he fell in love with in high school. But she has her own issues. Cade still wants her and her kids. Great read. Looking forward to River’s story.

I loved the whole premise of the book, from Natalie's high school days to Cade's medical condition, and I loved how quickly Cade fell in love with Natalie and her boys. Cade's interactions with Jamie were sweet and funny and reminded me of Logan and Audrey's story. I also liked that even though Natalie had some rough years, in the end she got a happily ever after.
I love that in this whole series the characters are all less than perfect and broken in some way but each gets a partner that helps them heal. I don't think there was any story that didn't touch me in some way!

Ay, esta serie me sigue sorprendiendo porque además del drama que tienen todos los personajes también pone realidades distintas como un protagonista en silla de ruedas, otro no verbal, con cicatrices, y en este caso con una bolsita por una ileostomía. La verdad es que la representación se agradece.
Me pareció muy dulce cómo fueron relacionándose los personajes, sobre todo los hijos de Natalie con Cade.

beautifully written
I have read each story as it has come out, and I fall more and more in love with it each time. The fact that each story deals with another facet of the foster care system as well as various medical conditions and disabilities is so beautiful. We need more affirmations in the world that everyone deserves love! ❤️

I always said the same but Mia Brody is a brave author,
The topics that she choose for her books are not the most sexy, trust me, but her books are romantic and honest,
The sex scenes are great and you're always wanting a HEA for the couple, you believe that they deserve each other,
Very moving story,

Amazing
A marriage of convenience for Cade and Natalie. He's been in love with her since high school and she never realized it. Now he is her savior in one of her darkest times. This story was so sweet and savory. Cade and Natalie are perfect for each other in every way. I loved the story.

Sweet and Happy
My favorite thing about Mia Brody is how she writes people with disabilities. It's a beautiful way to show that they're the same as everyone else. I loved her mountain man series for the same reason. Her stories are short and sweet but so beautiful in their simplicity. She will always be a favorite of mine.

So sweet and sexy
The Scott men are something else. I’ve fallen in love with each and every one of them. I adored Natalie and Jamie and how Cade slowly got them to trust him bit by bit until he had the family he’d always dreamed of.

El sexto libro fue más tierno que los anteriores y me hizo olvidarme del anterior rápidamente. Volvemos a tratar los buenos temas de los primeros tres libros.
Importancia de la familia, violencia doméstica, maternidad y escritura.

Cade is so adorable. I really liked him. That man wants to fix everything, and he's just adorable. I loved that he wanted to help Natalie straight away. Natalie has two sons, and Cade is quick to accept them. I loved his relationship with Jamie.

Such a sweet series.
Each character has demons or physical issues to deal with.
They're both good people. Supportive, great partners.
