I continue to love Kitty's (mis)adventures in dating and "research" for her best-selling romance novels, which just seem to get better with each installment. In this story, Kitty's mission was to date a cowboy, and she was fortunate enough to meet the perfect candidate at a charity fundraiser she attended with her grandmother. Her love interest, Paxton, didn't exactly meet my personal definition of a cowboy (he seemed like more of an oil baron who happened to own a ranch, which isn't exactly the same thing), but he was certainly handsome and charming, and Kitty was quickly smitten with him. Paxton turned out to be keeping a few secrets from Kitty, however, leading to a crazy end to their relationship and yet another heartbreak for Kitty.
There were several surprises in this installment, but I was most excited to see Kitty's relationship with her neighbor/frenemy Matt start to take on a new dimension. I've always loved their teasing and banter and have been rooting for the two of them to end up together since book #1. I wasn't so excited about the way Kitty's relationship with Paxton ended, however. Kitty was clearly hurt, and I have to wonder how she's going to be able to put herself out there again after this experience. On the bright side, she seemed to be in a better place by the end of the book, thanks mostly to her best friend Hayley, Matt, her grandmother, and her grandmother's boyfriend, Peter.
There are only two books remaining in the series, and I can't wait to see what's in store for Kitty and her friends. I highly recommend "Kitty Valentine Dates a Cowboy" and its predecessors for all fans of chick lit and romantic comedy.

About "Kitty Valentine Dates a Cowboy"
Kitty Valentine Dates a Cowboy by Jillian Dodd is now live!
Spin the wheel. Date the guy. Write the story. Fall in love?
Six years ago, Kitty Valentine took the book world by storm when her sweet debut romance hit number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list, which was followed by a string of successful releases.
Her latest novel, however, totally bombs, causing her editor to suggest she write much sexier books.
To Kitty, writing smut is the literary equivalent of stripping.
But with no advance coming in and her royalties dipping to an all-time low, Kitty has no choice.
Armed with a hot-guy spinning prize wheel, made by her best friend, listing all the different types of men she will date and then write about, Kitty will be spinning—not stripping—her way back onto the best-sellers list.
And in the process, she just might write her own happily ever after.
