Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Fighting and Flirting with My Cowboy Enemy by Julia Keanini





Book: Fighting and Flirting with My Cowboy Enemy

Author: Julia Keanini

Genre: Clean and Wholesome Romance

Release date: July 26, 2022

Jackson Ashford seems to have it all. Gorgeous looks, fulfilling job, loving relationship with his family . . . and he looks amazing in a cowboy hat. He may be a bit of a grump at times, but that doesn’t deter the women of Blue Falls from vying for his attention. So when Ruby Ellison arrives at his doorstep and hates Jackson on sight, he’s confused, to say the least.

Ruby Ellison never intended to come to the tiny town of Blue Falls, Idaho, but when her best friend’s search for her birth father takes her there, Ruby follows. She comes because she’d never let Madi down, but she stays because she quickly comes to love the small town. It’s the best place she’s ever lived . . . with one exception. Jackson Ashford. But Ruby figures she’ll just avoid him. Blue Falls is a small town but surely it’s big enough for two people to keep their distance.

But when Jackson and Ruby are both asked to coach an eight-year-old girls’ basketball team, Ruby realizes there will be no avoiding the man. She’ll just have to hate him up close rather than from afar. But as Ruby gets to know him she realizes that maybe the man she thought she knew isn’t really who Jackson is at all.

Join Ruby and Jackson as they fight and flirt their way to a happily ever after.

I really enjoy Romance books and add in a Cowboy and I will always be interested in reading the book. Fighting and Flirting with my Cowboy Enemy: A Small Town Sweet Romance by Julia Keanini is Book 2 in The Ashford Brother series. I have never read a book by Julia Keanini before, although after reading this one I know it won't be the last. 

Jackson Ashford seems to be very popular amongst the ladies in the town of Blue Falls, Idaho. Well, that is until Ruby Ellison arrives in town and immediately dislikes Jackson. Ruby came to Blue Falls with her best friend Madi who is in search of her Birth Father. She really begins to like the Small Town of Blue Falls and she has a desire to stay there. Ruby feels that Blue Falls, Idaho is a wonderful place to live, but the only thing she would need to do is avoid Jackson Ashford. Jackson is definitely confused as to why Ruby doesn't like him. Avoiding Jackson will become difficult as they have been asked to Coach a young girls' Basketball Team together. The pair agree to coach the team together and it turns out to be a good thing. Ruby realizes that Jackson may not be the person she thought he was and she finds herself actually beginning to like him. Will Ruby and Jackson find themselves in a Romantic Relationship? Will Ruby discover why all the women like Jackson? 

I will admit the book started off a little slow for me, it took me until about Chapter 2 to really begin enjoying the boy. Once I understood the storyline, I couldn't put the book down. Ruby is a strong and independent woman. Jackson is a wonderful young man with a caring demeanor. I really appreciate how Ruby turns to God and pray to help her with her new life in Blue Falls, Idaho. She knows she has some things from her past to overcome to help her move forward. The author touches upon a sensitive topic and does with eloquence. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance. GREAT BOOK! 






Julia Keanini is just a city girl living in a country world (and secretly loving it). She loves the mountains and would adore the beach, if it weren’t for all the sand and salt (wait, that is the beach?). A good book, a great song, or a huge piece of chocolate can lift her mood, but her true happiness is found in her little fam. She writes about girls and women who deal with what life throws at them and always about love, because she LOVES love.

 

More from Julia

I almost got run over by a cow when I was thirteen. I homeschooled during my middle school years and my parents decided I needed to do more with my free-time. So they sent me to work at a friend’s ranch. I was a typical very self-conscious teen and I had been near horses and cows probably at most five times in my life. You could see that this maybe wasn’t the best combination but my parents were sure and they promised me a juice at the end of every shift so I was game.

I started by brushing horses tails and braiding them. I was the oldest of five girls so this was totally in my wheelhouse. I also shoveled a whole bunch of manure. This wasn’t my favorite part of the job. But I quickly fell in love with horses. They were majestic if not a little stinky, but I loved them all the same.

Then came the big day. The cows needed to be branded and it was my job (who decided this I will never know) to get the cows into the chute where they would be branded. Granted I did this with four other grown men, the people who should have been doing the job, but I was out there as well. In the middle of this arena. Trying to not get killed. I managed for about five cows and then there was a mean one. I knew from the moment I saw her that she wanted me out of there. The moment she was let free she beelined it in my direction, letting me know that I didn’t stand a chance. Somewhere in the background I heard people yelling my name, telling me to move. But I froze. Did nothing. Thankfully one of those grown men saved me and I lived to tell the tale.

But even after all of that, I loved ranch life. I knew I would one day write a story about it. I saved it in my heart for a long time, this is book number forty-seven for me, but it finally came to fruition. A series about seven brothers (even though I grew up with four sisters) in the most beautiful land in Northern Idaho.

Welcome to Blue Falls Ranch.

An honorable cowboy makes for a good hero, but he has to have some issue or problem to make the story interesting.
