Sawyer by Jessica Peterson is now live!
Dirty dancing leads to a chance at forever in this sizzling single parent, found family, small town romance by Jessica Peterson.
As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls’ weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.
But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I’m not immune to the charms of a cowboy. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer’s got a mustache, some sexy tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.
Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It’s the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? Let’s just say a girl could get addicted to that kind of adoration.
Good thing he’ll always be just a one night stand I can look back on with a smile. I’m rebuilding our life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an endearing daughter of his own. Now Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever.
As much as I am falling for Sawyer, I’m terrified. I’ve been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Single dad Sawyer and single mom Ava meet at an Austin honkey tonk during a rare night out with their siblings, end up having a wicked hot one night stand, and never expect to see the other one again. So of course they cross paths again three months later, shortly after Ava and her daughter have moved to town so she can work as a trainer at another ranch near Lucky River.
Ava is rebuilding her life after a divorce, and worries practically every step of the way with Sawyer that she’ll be losing her freedom if she gives in to her feelings for him. I get that her ex husband was the kind of guy who did the bare minimum — and that is evident when Ava notes over and over again how surprised she is by Sawyer’s actions, like taking care of her, cooking dinner, etc., which just drives home the point even more that Dan was a crappy partner. And Sawyer is the fixer of the family, who for some reason, has been carrying around massive guilt for over a decade that he wasn’t able to save his parents from dying in a car accident. He’s always volunteering to help everyone else, but is hesitant to ask or accept help for himself.
I thought that Sawyer and Ava balanced each other out well when it came to giving the other the exact support that they needed. But he’s ultimately looking for a white and the whole picket-fence life, and she doesn’t want to get married again. Will they be able to find a compromise? (No worries, there is a HEA!)
I adored Junie and Ella (aka Yella) and how the two little girls clicked so quickly and became besties overnight. They were so cute together, and I love the thought of them being raised as siblings.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I found there to be some repetition from both characters that I could have done without, but generally found Ava and Sawyer’s story to be enjoyable and easy to read… and much spicier than the previous books in this series!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
