Book blurb:
Las doesn’t date seasonal workers. Marco’s on a three-month contract.
Lassiter Windsor-March has been planning for his future for as long as he can remember and he knows exactly where that future lies: at his family’s ranch in Wyoming. What doesn’t lie in his future is a summer fling with one of the seasonal workers—they never stick around.
Even if one of those workers is the college crush he’s invited to work a summer job at the ranch.
Marco Terlizzese is as laissez-faire as Las isn’t. He might not know where he’ll be once his contract with Windsor Ranch is up, but he knows three months is plenty of time to get his long-time crush to agree to go out with him.
Amid a starry summer sky, their chemistry ignites as feelings deepen, forcing Las and Marco to decide where they truly belong.
A note from Amy Aislin:
Home for a Cowboy is about giving love a chance and discovering where you belong.
Teaser:
If he was honest with himself, Las was seventy-five percent of the reason Marco was here. An invitation to work at the Windsor Ranch wasn’t what he’d expected when he’d asked Las out on a date a couple of months ago on a cold April night. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected exactly, so Las’s rejection hadn’t come as a surprise so much as taken the wind out of Marco’s sails. But a firm no thank-you followed by a job offer? It was out of left field but so what? After all of thirty seconds of weighing the pros and cons—the cons consisting mostly of having no idea what he’d do on a ranch, the pros consisting entirely of Las . . . okay, almost entirely. The rest was made up of nonexistent plans for after graduation—he’d agreed.
Maybe it’d turn out to be the stupidest decision he’d ever made given he’d never been on a ranch. Or near horses. Or cows. Or any large mammal, really.
But spending the summer with Las? Getting to know him better than their quick encounters at the small, outdoor coffee shop—the Coffee Cart—that Marco had worked at on campus had permitted? Maybe becoming something more than friends?
Sign him up.

[I received a digital copy for an honest review]
Home for a Cowboy in the first book in the Windsor, Wyoming series by Amy Aislin. A sweet western MM romance between a cowboy and a hockey goalie.
Las had his heart broken when his childhood best friend turned boyfriend never returned from a semester abroad. He doesn’t want to put his heart on the line by getting involved with seasonal workers at his family’s ranch. Marco is a hockey player who loves the sport but not everything that comes with being in the pros. When his crush Las invites him to work on the ranch for the summer he jumps at the chance. It’s an opportunity to spend time with Las and get away from the pressure from his family to decide on his future. The longer Marco spends on the ranch the more he realizes he’s not meant for the path his life is currently on. The closer Las gets to Marco the harder it is to ignore his growing feelings and desires. By the end of the summer they will have to decide if they are each other’s futures.
“Marco’s appreciative gaze made Las feel like he was the center of the universe. Like he could do anything.”
Home for a Cowboy was a calming sweet contemporary romance. The book made me want an escape from the every day. The Windsor Ranch sounded like a little slice of heaven. It was very low angst and little drama. I think I was hoping for something just a bit more to happen. Whether it be a surprise appearance by Las’ ex or something to throw the relationship more off kilter.
“Don’t tell anyone.” Las was sleepy and cuddly. “But I missed you.” Hope expanding in his chest, Marco leaned his own weight against him. “Secrets safe with me.”
Our main characters Marco and Las were enjoyable. Especially Marco! he was such a cinnamon roll and all his reactions to nature and the sights Las showed him were precious. Las was a little harder for me to make a connection with, he was just so hung up on his ex in the beginning but the little actions he took to show Marco he cared warmed me to him. Together they do some fun bonding activities from camping under the stars to the farmers market on the weekend and when they give in to their lust it strengthens their connection. I loved that they became close as friends first before their relationship became more.
“It was amazing. It was thrilling. It was everything he’d wanted with Las for a very long time.”
Overall, Home for a Cowboy was a highly pleasurable read. Amy Aislin always creates great characters and charming stories and I can’t wait for whatever she writes up next.
