Go up the canyon to Brush Creek Ranch, where a community of retired rodeo cowboys are looking for love...

He's a cowboy raising his son alone. She's a widow with a chocolate obsession. Can Brush Creek cowboy Walker get over his losses and fears in order to build a future with Tess?

★ USA TODAY BESTSELLER, AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR, and KINDLE ALL-STAR! ★

Former rodeo champion and cowboy Walker Thompson trains horses at Brush Creek Horse Ranch, where he lives a simple life in his cabin with his ten-year-old son, Michael.

He's worked with Tess Wagner, a widow who came to Brush Creek to escape the turmoil of her life to give her seven-year-old son, Graham, a slower pace of life. Together, they run a cotton candy stand at the town's Heritage Festival every fall, and Walker gets up the nerve to ask Tess to dinner.

Neither of them wants to inflict more sorrow and suffering on the other than they've already endured. So when Tess confesses that her breast cancer has flared up again, Walker backs off. Way off.

He'll have to decide if he'd rather spend even a short time with Tess and Graham than not have them in his life at all. Tess wants to feel God's love and power, but she'll have to discover and accept God's will in order to find her happy ending. Can Walker and Tess make a family with their sons, the horses, and a lot of chocolate?

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching and Tender
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019

Tess lost her husband a few years ago and took her son and moved to Brush Creek. She has also had breast cancer and is now in remission. Walker Thompson's also lost his wife from a car accident. He and his son live on Brush Creek Horse Ranch where is a the foreman. Together they have ran the cotton candy stand during Heritage Days. Both are very good friends and neither want to take it to the next level. Both are reluctant to share their hearts again, and with Tess already having had to deal with cancer, is this a chance either of them want to make. This is was the most tender, realistic, touching story. A story of leaning on one's faith and letting God drive the bus. I would recommend this wonderful story to all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected turns in a story of faith and finding love
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021

Walker Thompson is the foreman for a ranch in Utah. He lives there with his nine-year-old son Michael. Walker has been a widower for six years, since his beloved wife Libby died from cancer.

Walker regularly does volunteer work with Tess Wagner, a widow whose husband died in a work accident. She moved to the area with her now seven-year-old son Graham after her husband’s death and her own fight with breast cancer.

Walker and Tess like each other as friends, they enjoy working together as volunteers, and their boys are good friends. Both lost spouses they dearly loved. It would seem almost inevitable that they might develop a relationship, but that hasn’t happened. Until now.

“Brush Creek Cowboy” by Liz Isaacson is the story of Walker and Tess, how they kindle a relationship, how it goes awry, and how it might come back together again. Walker carries a lot of baggage about the death of his first wife, and he is almost single-mindedly focused on raising his son.

Isaacson is the author of numerous western romance stories, many set in Utah and published as series. These include the Three Rivers Ranch series, the Horseshoe Home Ranch series, the Grape Seed Falls series, the Brush Creek series, the Steeple Ridge series, and several others. She also publishes the Possession series under the pen name Elana Johnson.

“Brush Creek Cowboy” is novella in length and serves as the introduction to the Brush Creek series. It could easily have been a longer story; events happen very quickly to keep the short form romance moving. And it doesn’t end the way the reader might have expected. It’s a happy ending story, but it gets there only after several unexpected turns.

I loved this story. Tess and Walker have been great friends for the last four years, working a booth together at the fair and then finally one year something different sparks between them while setting up the booth. They are both widowed and they both have 1 young son. I love reading how their relationship moved from friendship to love, it is beautiful, swoony and heartfelt. A wonderful story by Liz!

Wow! This book had me reeling! My emotions were all over the place. I so loved this story. Walker and Tess finally get together after losing our spouses (both in accidents). Then add to it, Tess has breast cancer. Oh my. This is a quick read (thank goodness as I cried buckets!)

This story contained by favorite dual POVs. It really helps me to understand the characters. Especially in this story of loss and possible future loss. The characters seemed so real. The plot flowed so smoothly. It was like a movie played in my mind. I was sad to see the words, The End!!!! I highly recommend this story to anyone!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Choppy ,short ,christian contemporary romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a short Christian romance. It was an ok read. Any time I finish a book I need to give it more then just one or two stars, but this was leaning to the 2 stars. It held my interest enough for me to finish. This story felt like someone went threw a full length novel and pulled out all the filler and just gave you the bare bones of the story. It just had huge gaps and one chapter would end and you would be a week later of a month later. When you are writing a romance what is happening in that time and the development of a love story is important. I just needed more with this. It didn't feel complete......and I just didn't invest. Very clean, talk of religion.

makes us girls drool. Loved the poem that keeps
poping up in the story. Has very good meaning.

Tess has a 7 year old son Graham and has been fine since her husband Brandon's death 5 years ago in a freak accident at the sheet metal shop he owned. Ok so she has also battled breast cancer but she is doing great, even the scans she had done just a couple of months ago testify to it. Walker has a similar problem, he has a 9 year old son Michael and has been doing a great job of raising him on his own since his wife died in a car accident 6 years ago. What happens when his boss Landon's wife Megan tries to play matchmaker? Will Walker rebel or maybe try to beat her to the punch so to speak by asking someone out on his own? Will Tess agree to go out with him? Only one way to find out, read this great story by Liz Isaacson!
