Dylan Vargas is too shy for his own good. While he and his best friend Adan work with the horses on his family’s ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona, Adan signs him up for an online dating service. Dylan begrudgingly looks through the profiles. One face stands out above the others—that of his childhood crush. There’s only one impossible problem—she is Adan’s little sister.

My Thoughts on Falling for a Shy Cowboy

Let me tell you a little about “Falling for a Shy Cowboy,” the second book in Karen Baney’s Vargas Ranch series.

First, meet Dylan Vargas, a shy cowboy trying to navigate life on his family’s ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona. Then there’s Brisa Franco, a single mom who’s returned home with her son, Braden, after overcoming some of life’s harshest circumstances.

The story takes a fun turn when Dylan’s best friend, Adan, signs him up for online dating. And guess whose profile catches Dylan’s eye? It’s Brisa—Adan’s sister and Dylan’s childhood crush. Talk about a love triangle!

But there’s more to this story than just romance. Brisa is dealing with her own demons after escaping an abusive relationship with Braden’s father, and she finds herself wrestling with trust and fear issues. Dylan has spent his life dealing with a speech impediment that has made him a man only comfortable with his horses.

Baney does a great job of bringing the ranch to life; her characters always seem natural and personable.
While this book can be read as a standalone, knowing more of the backstory adds extra depth to the story.

Even if you’re not usually into Christian romance, Baney’s storytelling will draw you in. It’s not just a love story; it’s a journey of healing and hope.

So, if you’re looking for a book that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a smile, give “Falling for a Shy Cowboy” a read. It’s a story you won’t want to miss!
