Cowboy Dreams (Down Under Cowboys #3)By: Kasey Millstead4/5 starsThis is Jules & Clay’s story, that actually takes place before the Christmas novella in the Down Under Cowboys series. At first, that was a little confusing since I read all the previous books just before this one was released.In the second book, when Edie and Jackson are in the hospital after having given birth to Olive; Ava and Jeremy are also visiting when Jules arrives at the hospital and there is the whole “What the Hell?!” moments between Jules & Edie. That is just about where the third book picks up, which is a whole year to year and a half before the Cowboy Christmas novella.Jules and Clay have had 2 one-night stands… and the second one ended up with a parting gift… a pregnancy. Jules and Clay both wanted more from the other, but never said anything because they each thought the other only wanted a one-nighter.After selling her house and packing all her belongings, Jules moves to Pine Creek to be near her best friend Edie and also to be near Clay, her baby daddy, and to give him the option to be in the babies’ life. But Clay wants more than that, and he has to get Jules to see that and accept that on her own.Jules is so worried that Clay is only “trying to what’s right” by her and that he doesn’t really want her, just the baby. And Clay keeps telling her to pay attention to the words he says and to his actions and that she will see the truth, know it and come to accept it.Clay is such a patient, quiet, sweet, strong, handsome man who loves and commits deeply. He goes out of his way to develop a relationship with Jules’ parents since he lost his at such a young age. He is going to make a great father.I liked that we got to see quite a bit of Edie & Jackson and Ava, Jeremy & Oscar in this book as well, and am looking forward to seeing more of all of these characters.
