Welcome to week 7 of “The Great Walk 100 day Summer Challenge” from 7/10 – 7/16.

Remember: Our goal is to be consistent so even if you can’t do 100 days of walking in a row, do the best you can and listen to your body.

If you CAN do a walk every day, it is VERY important that you mix it up by doing gentle walks, longer walks, shorter walks, indoor walks, outdoor walks, etc.

Here are some week 7 workout video suggestions from my YouTube channel:

“Her Cowboy Wedding Date” by Cari Lynn Web REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

Posted on July 7, 2022 by EmpowerMoms

Her Cowboy Wedding Date JustRead Blog + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for Her Cowboy Wedding Date by Cari Lynn Web, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Her Cowboy Wedding date

Series: Three Springs Texas

Author: Cari Lynn Web

Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming

Release Date: June 2022

Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance

Could this cowboy… Be her wedding date?

Maid of honor Tess Palmer has two weeks to plan her cousin’s wedding. She will do anything to make the ceremony perfect…even if it means wrangling best man Carter Sloan’s help. The cynical cowboy would rather focus on his business than wedded bliss, and widowed Tess isn’t looking for a second chance at love. But could planning a trip down the aisle bring the two of them together?

MY REVIEW

This was such a fun, heartwarming story from beginning to end. “Her Cowboy Wedding Date” is the third and final book in the Three Springs, Texas trilogy but they can be read as stand alone books. Characters from the previous two books are mentioned throughout this story.

The family drama and dynamics of Carter’s family were hilarious throughout the book. So many laughs! Wedding planning mishaps, treasure hunts, family feuds… this book had it all!

I really enjoyed getting to know Tess and Carter as they worked together to help the family work out their misunderstandings and to plan a wedding for their friends. They both had their own personal struggles and disappointments that interfered with wanting to have a serious relationship. I liked how their personalities complemented each other and how they both put family first-no matter what.

I really liked this book from beginning to end and recommend this specific book and series by this author. Fun, quick read-perfect for your summer road trip or by the pool.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
