Three years ago, artist Emily White’s grief and survivor’s guilt sent her to the small Wyoming town of Fly Creek. Since then, she’s kept her emotions safely tucked away—until she meets the new rancher at Sky Lake Dude Ranch. Stetson in hand, the gorgeous cowboy’s arrival in her store immediately shakes up her world.
Adam Conley is only in Fly Creek for as long as it takes to fulfill his promise to his late cousin. The small town brings up too many memories of the life he left behind years ago. He knows his task won’t be easy, but the last thing he expects is the instant attraction to the reason he’s in town. Emily is beautiful, vibrant, and completely off-limits. He’s there to keep his promise—not fall in love.
But Adam has a secret that could crumble everything Emily's life has revolved around.

This is one hell of a debut novel! I could not put the book down. Even a day later, it's hard to put words to this story. My review won't do it justice, just read the book.

"A life she existed rather than participated in."
This sentence perfectly encapsulates Emily's past three years. She's simply existing, alive, but not living, because Drew, her fiance, truly is gone and she's been unable to fully move on, okay, not at all, since. She's essentially seclud ...more

This was both at the same time heartbreaking as it was heartwarming; the emotions it evoked cannot be explained. Only that the writing was a prime example of what every writer aspires to...causing the reader to feel the emotions of the characters and the story itself.

The technical stuff: This standalone book was a sweet romance with no harsh cursing or on-screen sex. If those things turn you off from a book, you have no worries here.
This book was far more emotional than I was expecting, and I loved that. Although Emily was in mourning through a lot of the story, ...more
Normally, I would include a little bit of the plot. This time I thought doing so would reveal too much.

One thing that attracted me to want to read this book was Emily being an artist. This was the first book that dealt with a rancher. While I believed it to be predictable in the beginning, I was ...more

It would be so easy to read the cover description for Her Cowboy’s Promise and think “light hearted romance”. It is, yet it is so very much more than that. This is an emotional story for both Emily and Adam. It’s learning to deal with grief and the guilt of being the one ...more

While this story deals with some heavy subject, including loss of a loved one, survivors guilt and forgiveness, I don’t feel that it was either a dour or depressing read at all. Jennifer Hoopes did a wonderful job of bringing the reader along on Emily’s journey to learn how to live and love again.

This was a book that really made you feel like I was on a roller-coaster. First it started a little slow (building the foundation), then you start going up but then you are plunging down fast. The plot with Drew and what exactly happened to him was a little unexpected and I thought a little drawn ou ...more
