    About this audiobook

    Welcome back to Jubilee, Texas, where New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde romantically pairs a beautifully princess with Texas royalty: a rugged, totally hot, real-live cowboy! Wilde’s Jubilee novels celebrate homespun, small-town love—a treat for readers of the contemporary romance fiction of Sherryl Woods, Susan Wiggs and Susan Mallery—and her sexy cowboy heroes are sure to make Linda Lael Miller fans swoon. Nobody can resist these handsome, muscular, outdoorsy American icons, especially not the royal runaway bride in The Cowboy and the Princess, who unexpectedly finds her heart’s true desire in blue jeans smack-dab in the middle of America’s Southwest. You won’t want to miss the fireworks when these two worlds romantically collide!

      This is one of my most favorite Lori books. I loved the characters and the unique plot.
    • 3/5
      A fun read, touching. A nice story about someone waking up and realizing what is important in life.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed the story as a fairy tale that it was. Roaming horse whisperer meets and falls in love with Princess running away from her life of responsibilty. It was contrived, sweet, the characters likeable but just not a knock your socks off kind of book.

      Posted on Romancing the Book's blogReviewed by JoAnneReview Copy Provided by EdelweissI have liked other books by Lori Wilde and I was looking forward to reading this uncorrected proof. Although different from her Twilight, Texas series or her stand alone books I was not disappointed. I was immediately drawn in to the story and didn’t want to put it down. The premise was unexpected but believable. I loved the You might be a princess if… that was at the beginning of each new chapter. There was immediate chemistry between Brady and Annie although neither one wanted to acknowledge it. Their friendship grew in a realistic way but also had you rooting for them to feel more and mean more to each other throughout. There was romance – steamy at times, as well as adventures, action, tears, laughter, friendship, and love. There was the happily ever after that had unexpected twists and turns and kept you guessing. I felt there was closure to the storyline but was excited to see that this book is part of a series and we’ll be back to visit Jubilee, Texas in at least one more book. The characters were well fleshed out that you wanted to learn all you could about them. The Cowboy and the Princess is actually book 2 in the series and I look forward to reading book 1, The Cowboy Takes a Bride, so I can find out how we were introduced to the characters. If you haven’t read books by Wilde before, give her a try. You’ll be glad you did! Favorite Quote: The twirling and swirling was normal. Right? It was a swiveling car in a twisty haunted house. That was why she felt so topsy-turvy. No other reason. It had absolutely nothing to do with Brady’s quick, wicked tongue and the long, slow way he wielded it. His fingertips hooked under her chin. Annie parted her teeth. He took full advantage. A conqueror invading a new country. She surrendered. Running up the white flag without one sliver of resistance. Pathetic. She was completely pathetic.

      Slightly cheesy at the beginning, The Cowboy and the Princess is a book that grows on you until you can’t put it down. This delightful mix of The Horse Whisperer and Roman Holiday make for a fun cowboy story.Princess Annabella of Monesta has 6 weeks until she weds a balding, playboy prince who she is betrothed to. She and her dog Lady Astor escape the life of luxury and are rescued by a cowboy named Brady Talmadge and his dog. He ends up buying her chili at a truck stop and then taking them with him to Jubilee, TX where he has a job to work with a horse that was injured. Annie (Princess Annabella) soon settles in and gets her own place and a job in town. She and Brady slowly fall for each other but the secret she is keeping comes in between them.This sweet, lighthearted read has a twist at the end that I was not expecting. The romance was a bit slow paced but I fell in love with characters and their dogs! The Cowboy and the Princess is the second in the Jubilee, Texas series. I have not read the first in the series but I never felt that I was missing anything. This is a great standalone book and I recommended it to anyone who loves a cowboy romance!

      The Cowboy and the Princess by Lori Wilde*ARC Supplied by Publisher*Take Audrey Hepburn’s “Roman Holiday” and set it in modern times and then to really make it interesting add cowboys, a horse whisperer and red-hot lust. What really bothered me about this book is how I cried at the ending. I was literally sobbing during the scene when they are saying their good-byes. I mean how can we really expect a good resolution with a couple such as this? We are talking about a horse whisperer and the Princess of the second smallest country in the world! Moreover, she is engaged to marry the Prince of the smallest country in the world---one who happens to be much older than she is and then produce an heir! For the life of me, I could see no way this book could have had a resolution. As you can tell by now, this is a novel about a Princess that wants to experience what the world and life is like if she weren’t a …well…Princess. One rainy night as Brady Talmadge is fighting the elements towards his next job, a job that has him staying with very close friends, he notices someone hitchhiking. This someone is small, pale and soaked and against his better judgment and the rules he has set up for himself, he picks this person up. Soon he realizes that he has picked up more than he bargained for! And so the story begins.It is a slow paced but very interesting and well-written look at what cowboy life and the life in a small Texas town looks like to a sophisticated and quite naïve young lady. Iyt is also a story about what happens to a relationship when full disclosure isn’t practiced on both of the couples part. It is wonderful seeing how the sparks fly, but that that Ms Wilde chooses to not allow the characters to get a head of themselves, as it were. Ms Wilde writes romance that is hot in the fact that the main characters don’t always jump on each other before a relationship blossoms. So never fear, Ms Wilde does find a way to resolve the issue of the Princess and the Cowboy!Have the tissues ready and have yourself a good cry and a wonderful read.

      Brady, doesn't like to be tied down, so he travels from town to town, healing horses. Brady just wants to feel freedom and not have to stick in one place. While heading to Jubilee, to do work for a friend, he sees a hitchhiker, he tells himself he will not bring one of his main rules, but when he sees its a woman, cold and wet with eyes that sear him...he is lost. Princess Annabella, has run away to have a few weeks of freedom before she is put in her prison of a marriage. All of her life she has craved freedom and do what she wants. She has no choice over the man she will marry, but she has a choice to live her dream even if for a little while. When she meets Brady, who rescues her, she is intrigued with his "lone wolf" personality. He seems just perfect for what she needs, but as they spend more time together, and a passion erupts, what is temporary, could turn into losing their hearts to one another...but will the secrets that both Brady and Annie are keeping tear them apart or tie them closer together?The Cowboy and the Princess is the second installment in this series. I have recently come to love this author, and I am really falling in love with this series. I love my sexy cowboys...and Brady fits the bill in my book. This story is so what I needed...full of laughter, tender passion, and a sweet love story to curl your toes. I could hardly put this one down....the theme of this story is up my ally, and the conflict is so entrenched in the story, you can't keep but be involved in the story.The story begins with Annie trying to hitch hike...and then meets a reluctant cowboy who takes her to have a bowl of chili, trying to hide from her bodyguards, she kisses him in front of everyone, and Brady is lost and he knows it. Brady is the type of hero that will resist anything that will have him settle down...especially gorgeous women who are damsels in distress. Brady I fell in love with, I love the way we see a portion of his thoughts in the book, and he argues with himself and its quite humorous and adds a delightful flavor to the story. I loved Annabelle, she is very unique, and far different from other heroines that this author has written. She is a princess, and doesn't understand certain "common sense" and its make for a fun spin to the style of the story. Even though I am not a huge fan of dogs in real life, I adore seeing them in books....and these two dogs in this story were charming and fun, and it was quite a ball of delight to see how they fit into the plot and the unique relationship with Brady and Annie.Overall a tasty western romance to make you want to yell "Yee Haw" at the end. Sexy cowboys, naive and sheltered royal, dogs to give you a head spin, and a story to keep you guessing and captivated till the end....gives a whopper of a surprise that will give you thrills from head to toes!!! SATISFYINGLY SWEET AND CHARMING!
