This was a surprisingly great story to read. I certainly was not expecting the level of emotions that were brought to the page, nor the steamy chemistry between the characters.Elizabeth Otto did a great job of drawing me into the story by making Rylan and Cole's first meeting crackle with tension. It made for a fantastic read to see these two fighting their attraction and their emotions for each other as the story progressed.I loved that Cole was protective of his daughter, even when at one time I thought he went a bit too far. I even understood why he was so hesitant to open up to Rylan after learning of his previous experience with his ex-wife. Likewise, I understood Rylan's apprehension at getting close to another man, especially a man with a child. Rylan and Cole had issues and it was a treat to see them lowering the walls they had built around each other.It goes without saying that their chemistry was off-the-charts HOT. The sexual tension between these two was palpable through the page and when the author added their emotions to the mix it made for some fabulous scenes.I enjoyed the addition of the secondary characters, especially Cole's brother. Birdie, Cole's daughter, was a cutie and his mother brought some motherly comfort and understanding when things started to get difficult.All in all, Tempting the Cowboy was an emotionally driven, romantic read.I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
