Product Description
Talk about a bad hair day! Louisiana beauty salon owner Charmaine LeDeux has a loan shark on her tail, and Raoul Lanier, the six-foot-three hunk of testosterone she thought she divorced, has just delivered a bombshell: They're still married! At least the rundown ranch they've inherited together is the perfect hideout.
Holy crawfish! It's hard enough for Raoul to play cowboy to a bunch of scrawny steer, let alone suffer the exquisite torture of living with the delectable Charmaine, who's declared herself a born-again virgin. What's a man crazy with desire to do? Seduce her on their home on the range, even if it means taking advice from bachelor ranch hands, Charmaine's belly-dancing great-aunt, and St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes. With the moon shining over the bayou and the Dixie Mafia in hot pursuit, this Cajun cowboy must sweet-talk his way into his wife's arms again...before she unties the knot for good!

 Stick to what you know..., 2008-06-25
I got a few good laughs from this book, but it generally seemed forced to me. You can certainly tell Ms. Hill is not from Louisiana. She should simply put a Cajun dictionary at the end of her "Cajun" books, instead of stopping at EVERY phrase to explain what something is.
And the heroine in this book...oh, please, chere. If she was ever Miss Louisiana, she wouldn't be caught dead in Peggy Bundy stretch pants! I understand the whole bimbo concept, but put her in something sexy...not something one of my old aunt's would wear to the casino.

 Spicy romance can't even save this one, 2007-11-05
Former beauty queen and four-time divorcee Charmaine LeDeux learns her first divorce was never actually filed, thus she's still married to her first and possibly true love. Her ex, Rusty Lanier, a disgraced vet fresh from a stint in prison after being framed lets her know that they have both inherited his estranged father's ranch. On the lam from the Dixie mafia due to her high interest "loan" from Bucks R Us, she hides out on the ranch, hoping to hold on to her sanity and her born again virgin status. But the always sparkling chemistry between the two simply won't let their lust for each other die down.
If you can get past the horrific Cajun dialect of the annoying and meddlesome Tante Lulu, you might actually like this story. Poorly written, filled with trite dialogue and a ridiculously thin plot, about the only thing it has going for it is the spicy romance. But even that is not enough to drag this one out of the cellar. Recommended only for true fans who want the whole Cajun series.

 Gotta love a cowboy, 2007-09-15
I loved this story. One of the other reviews commented that the set up for the story was a bit weak, but I felt that was okay. After all, this is a romance, and the heat between the two main characters was hot enough! I loved all the characters from Raoul and Charmaine to Linc and Clarence, the two ranch hands. I also thought Ms. Hill did an excellent job of making Charmaine a bimbo, but one that was not offensive or unbeleivable. Overall, I thought it was a great book!

Sandy Hill and HER Cowboys. Whew!, 2007-05-05
Yee-ha, get along little doggies! Sandra Hill has done it again.
The Cajun Cowboy is a romp through western Louisiana's prairie land, home of ranching cowboys. This charmer picks up where Hill's first Cajun novel, Tall, Dark, and Cajun leaves off, but instead of the sexy LeDeux brothers, we are exposed to their super-charged half-sister, Charmaine LeDeux Fortier and her ex-not-ex husband, Raoul (Rusty) Lanier, plus a full dose of the family matriarch, Tante Lulu LeDeux.
Lovely Charmaine is a beauty salon and spa owner, but she has gotten herself into some deep financial problems by borrowing from a loan shark. Now he wants his money back, with interest--money Charmaine does not have. So while her lawyer half-brother Luc works on a solution, she and her Tante Lulu decide to "hide-out" at her ex-husband's ranch. Then she discovers that although she has married and divorced four times, she is actually still married to Rusty, husband number one, and has inherited half of the ranch from his father.
Recently released from a two-year prison stint, Rusty/Raoul thinks he wants only the peace and quiet of his ranch, until Charmaine arrives. The sexual tension between the two of them is nearly too hot for either of them to handle, but Charmaine has sworn off casual affairs and Rusty isn't making any commitments until he can clear his name. Nonetheless, they manage to want sex without having sex all of the time and the whole household knows it. Tante Lulu puts all of her efforts into getting them to realize that they love and need each other.
Like Sandra Hill's other Cajun novel, this book is spicy hot and ultimately very romantic. The characters, both those that we have met in her other book and the new folks we meet on the ranch, are funky and fun.
Armchair Interviews says: This is a delightful book--a great escape into romance with a Cajun touch.

Whooee! Hot, hot, hot!, 2006-09-17
In this book, Sandra Hill continues the fun with the outrageous LeDeux sibling, the poufy-hair loving Charmaine. If having the Dixie mafia on her delectable backside isn't bad enough, Charmaine finds out that she hasn't really been married and divorced four times. But is it really that bad??? Hmmm... In walks Raoul Lanier with the news that he and she are still married and now co-owners of the Triple L ranch. And he wants her to sign over her share to him for a mere dollar before he would agree to a divorce. But St Jude has other plans for these two and what better way to start the ball rolling than have Tante Lulu tell Raoul that his wife's life is in danger. Whooee! Now the fun starts...
When I first read about Raoul's return in the second book and how Charmaine has been hiding from him, I knew that their story would be one to watch out for. And I was not wrong. While I agree that there wasn't too much going with the plot, the laughter and outrageousness makes up for this. Raoul and Charmaine absolutely sizzle together! The byplays, sexual innuendoes and verbal sparring were great to read. And let's not forget the spandex-wearing Tante Lulu whose undying devotion to St Jude and utter determination to marry the LeDeux siblings off provide much laughter. And of course, we also see the characters from the previous books.
If you're simply after a quick, witty and hilarious read, THE CAJUN COWBOY is the book for you. Yes, it is a very fluffy read, but it is a good escape from all the drama around us.
