Maisey Yates has become a comfort read for me. I am huge fan of the Donnelly family arc of her Copper Ridge series and was excited to see at the end of Christmas Time Cowboy that a new series was coming featuring the residents of nearby Gold Valley.

Smooth-Talking Cowboy is the first the new series. 

Welcome to Gold Valley, Oregon, where a rough-and-tumble rancher and the girl next door are about to learn that opposites attract

Olivia Logan has a plan: win back her ex by making him see what he’s missing. But first she needs to find a man who’s willing to play along. With his laid-back cowboy charm and knack for getting under her skin, Luke Hollister is an unlikely hero—but he wants her help convincing her father to sell him land, which means he needs her as much as she needs him.

Luke likes his life—and his women—uncomplicated. So why does good girl Olivia heat his blood like no one else? She’s always been off-limits, but the more time they spend as Gold Valley’s hottest new “couple,” the more real it’s starting to feel. Luke was supposed to help her win back another man…not keep her in his arms. But now that he has her there, he’s not sure he’ll ever let go.


This book is everything I've come to expect from Maisey Yates. Cowboys with hard bodies, soft hearts, and a witty sense of humor. Smart women who don't rely on a man to rescue them but sure appreciate being swept off their feet. Great banter and searing hot love scenes.


I appreciated the nods to the Copper Ridge characters and was even more excited about the new characters that I know will be sharing their stories soon!

I love how there are so many hints for what's to come, but they don't slow down the story at all.


Overall, loved this. Absolutely recommend it to anyone who like comtemporary romance! 

Can't wait for the next one!
