I really enjoy reading books by Leslie North. This is the book of Scout, who dreams of his own ranch and Stella who might make his dreams come true. More dreams than he even knew he had. Well done.

Scout was there for George and now he will be there for his granddaughter. In one night everything will change for both of them. Stella comes home for her grandfather's funeral and her and Scout have one night together and three months later there is a surprise on the way. They both have to figure out what they want, if it is each other or something else. This is such a sweet romance. Scout is the perfect cowboy, friendly, loving, and rugged everything Stella needed.

Scout has been working towards owning his own ranch for years. Finally hearing a promise from Stella the ranch was all but his he helped her recover from the grief of her grandfather’s death. Only problem is there one night together has a reminder that will bring them closer together. Promises are made and broken until a compromise is made. Great ending to the series.

Scout Beckett has always wanted to run a ranch, not just work it under the purview of his older sibling. He wants to do something different from his family’s horses and beef cattle: he wants to own a dairy farm. To this end, Scout has been working on one as a foreman, and his mentor had always promised it would be Scout’s after he passed. But when the owner dies, he wills it to his city-slicker granddaughter instead; leaving Scout in charge of a farm that will never be his. Stella has worked for a nonprofit for years, helping to feed starving children in third-world countries. When she comes home for the funeral to say goodbye to her grandfather, the only stability she’s ever known, she finds herself falling into the arms of sexy cowboy Scout when shared loss and simple comfort turns to a night of passion before they each go their separate ways. But three months later, Stella returns to the ranch, faced with the stipulations of her grandfather’s will: she must stay for the better part of the year, or lose the ranch to charity. Not only that, but she has to tell her one-night stand that he’s going to be a daddy. When the shock of her pregnancy wears off, Stella vows to ride out the will’s rule and get back to her old life as soon as possible.But as Stella slowly remembers why she’s always loved the place she’s come back to, Scout has to decide if he’s okay with never owning the land he works. Is having a family enough? Or will he pass on love and passion for a farm of his own?
This was another great cowboy book by a great author. I loved both main characters. I loved watching them on their journey to their HEA. I highly recommend.

This book will grab you from the first page and you'll be sucked into Scout and Stella's story. This is another great read by Leslie North a story you will not want to put down!

Scout Beckett had always wanted to run a ranch but wanted to do it his way. He left the family ranch and started working for George Steadman. Having his way of doing things and turning the ranch into dairy he was going well until George passed away. The day of the funeral Stella his granddaughter shows up from the city and for the most part, everything goes okay. Later they end up in bed together and when she leaves the next day it is with the idea of selling the ranch to Scout. Now, three months later and Stella is back at the ranch but with a different plan. One she is pregnant with his child, two she does not want to sell the ranch. An interesting story for the fact that most of it have Stella doing all of the changing. He wants her to leave the big city and her job, not to go to all of the countries she does which is also part of her job while he just stays where he is at. When she finally agrees to move to the ranch he is upset that she won’t sell, but never once said he loved her, or even I love you let’s get married? No, it’s why are you doing this to me. Even when his brothers try to tell him he still feels like they are telling him what to do instead of looking at the whole picture. Sometimes Scout character frustrated me and it added to the story but overall I really liked it and it was something totally different. A very good book.

This was a great quick read that was about family, compromise, and love. Both Stella and Scout were determined to find their own ways and get what they dreamed of. But together they finally realized how to get it together. I loved how his family took to Stella right away. The family side of this book was so endearing and sweet. Now I feel I need to read the first two in this book to get to know Ava, Bran, Kit, and Hunter better. They were intriguing characters for sure.

Last book in the series of the Beckett brothers! This time it is Scout's turn and boy does he land in it as his one night stand with Stella results in a baby.

Lots of back and forth as they both struggle with their feelings and how they can be parents as they are not really in a relationship. Stella still thinks she can carry on with her work overseas for months at a time after having a baby and not taking into account Scout's feelings as he would not see his child for months at a time.

Later, Scout feels betrayed and Stella gets some good advice so they both can get what they need. Love the HEA and sad to see the last book for the Becketts.

Wrangling his Pregnant Cowgirl, by Leslie North was a fanatic read. This is the third Beckett Brothers book , it was Scout's story. Scout has been a foreman on the ranch for along time, hoping to buy it one day. But when the dairy farm owner passes away , Scott was not left the dairy farm, or the choice to buy it. It was left to the owner's granddaughter from the city. Stella is not a farm type girl and spends all her time in other countries for working for a non profit group that helps feed children in third world countries. Stella came out to the ranch for her grandfathers funeral and she and Scout hit it off immediately. And that when the story gets good. It has enough twist to keep you interested but not get you lost and confused. I loved this book! Perfect romance.

Scout Beckett is the youngest and has always wanted to run a ranch and prove something to his brothers. So Scout has been working as a foreman, and his mentor had always promised it would be Scout’s after he passed. But when the owner dies, he wills it to his granddaughter instead; leaving Scout in charge of a farm that will never be his.

Stella has worked for a nonprofit for years, helping to feed starving children in third-world countries. When she comes home for the funeral to say goodbye to her grandfather who was the only stability she’s ever known she and Scout share a night of passion as a means of comfort for their loss. Not only does Stella have to deal with the stipulations in her grandfather's will but she also has to tell Scout that their one night of passion lead to a pregnancy.

Both Stella and Scout have to come to the realization that their plans have changed and they both will have to compromise if they want happiness together.

The final Beckett brother has met his match and she won't come easy. These are by far the most hard headed characters of the series. Scout and Stella are both so independent I don't think either knew the word comprise. Their journey to their HEA was a fast paced, sometimes steamy, sometimes frustrating ride. I will miss all these characters, but this was a great way to wrap things up.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 3rd book in a series. They read well as stand alone. The title is not a good one. Stella is definitely NOT a cowgirl. It's a cute story though. Fun and quirky. I rate 3.5 stars. I think most romance readers would enjoy.

The third and final book in the Beckett Brothers, Wrangling His Pregnant Cowgirl, is a great story to conclude this series. A well-paced engaging story with realistic characters that had me hooked from the beginning. Do yourself a favour and read this series!

4 1/2 stars!

Leslie North has done it again! I truly adored Scout and Stella. They were both incredibly stubborn and definitely weren't seeing the "whole picture" for a good portion of the book. However, their hearts were in the right place and once they figured it out, you knew they were going to be the best matchup. Scout had some maturity and insecurity issues that stemmed from being the youngest of his three brothers. Stella had issues that came from her mother's flighty tendencies and the lack of a father in her life. Her only stability had come from her grandfather who she'd only seen during the summers and for school breaks when she was growing up. Scout and Stella had to each figure out their own issues before they could come together and support one another. Since there was a baby involved, they needed to do that sooner rather than later.

A lot was accomplished in this novella, I felt like the storyline was well fleshed out and the characters were developed in a way that I easily connected with both of them. I wasn't always happy with their decisions but I could at least understand what was triggering them. I highly recommend this series. All three of these brothers are absolute sweethearts and the women they fall for are spirited and sassy. I think I've commented in previous reviews that novellas can be tough for me to like but I've truly enjoyed this series.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In my opinion, a Leslie North usually means: sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. And of course Wrangling His Pregnant Cowgirl is a perfect example of a wonderful (although short) ride. We meet Scout Beckett, proud foreman of the dairy farm of George Steadman. Having been taken in six years ago, after leaving his brothers on their own ranch, Scout has been working steadily to take over the dairy farm from George..
But, now that George has passed away, it seems like George's promise to sell the farm to Scout has been an idle promise, since the will states that not Scout, but George's granddaughter Stella will be the owner of the property. There is only one catch: Stella has to live on the farm for the next nine months or the farm will be donated to charity.
Stella doesn't want to have the farm. So she will live on the farm for the next nine months and then leave again to Africa to do her job as an agriculture consultant. What she didn't count on was that she would become pregnant from her one night stand with Scout after the funeral. And she certainly didn't expect Scout to step up as a father figure. After being abandoned as a child by her father, her mother has always taught her to take care of herself. So, she doesn't take Scout's feelings into consideration when planning for their baby.
Scout doesn't know what hurts more: the farm pulled away from him by George's will or the fact that Stella is set on leaving the country with his baby. Determined not to let his son or daughter grow up without a father, he is determined to show Stella what being a family means. But can he convince her to stay?
Cute, cosy and swoon-worthy. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Wrangling His Pregnant Cowgirl is the third and final book in the Beckett Brothers series. This book is about Scout and Stella and starts out with a one night stand which leads to more. This book had a great story line and very likeable characters. It was also the perfect ending to the trilogy.

This is a quick to read novella. Compromise is the name of the game when an unexpected pregnancy turns everything upside down for Stella and Scout. He's a Texas cowboy who wants to put down roots at his own ranch. She travels the globe, nine to eleven months out of the year, to help third world countries to farm. Does she stay after the baby is born or does she leave? Well, there is one Texas cowboy who wants them both to stay. Scout is such a sweetheart!

Another great fast paced fun read from Leslie, full of fun characters, an emotional rollercoaster ride and a HEA, recommended to brighten your day.

Wrangling His Pregnant Cowgirl is another fast moving, drama packed, sincere story by Leslie North and wraps up the trilogy about the Beckett Brothers with heartfelt emotion and some family angst. Ms North’s portrayal of Stella and Scout’s characters was done with genuine feeling and highlighted their personal baggage and the difficulties they each faced letting go of their perceived insignificance in their family’s eyes. I can’t wait for the next exciting and captivating series by this author!

Stella comes back for her grandfather's funeral, and has a one night stand with Scout, the ranch foreman. Needless to say, the obvious happens. A fairly quick story, and one that was hard to put down. The only issue I had was that at times I felt they both expected too much from each other, and considering they really didn't know each other that was asking a lot. Minor. Still highly recommend the book, author and series (can be read alone).
