With danger drawing ever closer, their only hope of saving their futures lies in each other.
As a midwife, Catherine Remington is successful in bringing new life into the world, but she's failed one too many times in finding true love. When she's accused of a murder she didn't commit, she's forced to flee to Colorado to honor a patient's dying wish by delivering a newborn infant to his father.

The repentant prodigal Dylan McQuaid is finally back in Fairplay. As sheriff, he's doing his best to prove to the town he's a changed man and worthy of their trust. When a woman shows up with an infant son he didn't know he had, Dylan is left with only complicated choices on what to do next.

Having grown attached to Dylan's son, Catherine doesn't want to part ways with the infant, but what she doesn't bargain for is how easily she'll fall for the charming sheriff, or how quickly the past will catch up with her and put their love and lives in danger.

Amazing Conclusion!

Amazing Conclusion!
As I opened the first few pages of this book, I was equally excited and sorrowful. So happy to finally have Dylan’s story in my hands and sad that my favorite cowboy series has come to a conclusion and it is time to say goodbye to the McQuaid siblings. Although I’m hoping we get to revisit the Colorado Cowboys, maybe Astrid’s story? 🤞🏼I am a sucker for a redemption story. I have a deep conviction that people can change. Maybe not fundamentally who we are, but we can become better versions of ourselves. That the goodness and humanity in our souls can be derailed, but we can always find our way back. I knew there was so much to Dylan and I loved getting to see him become the man we all hoped he would be.This is the story of a man who has made a lot of mistakes. He was lost and has resorted to vices in his life to help obliterate his pain. At the end of Ivy’s story he finally comes home. This book picks up a little while later, as piece by piece, he is trying desperately to find his way back to God and put his life together.Little does he know that a surprise from his past is going to show up and bring back feelings of heartache & regret that he is going to have to come to terms with and learn to forgive himself for.Catherine is a midwife who after delivering Dylan’s son that he has no knowledge of, brings the baby out west to find him. I loved her character as a midwife and her sense of duty to those women who need help and cannot always get it.This story contained one of my most favorite and least favorite tropes. I’m not going to say what they are, just read it & find out for yourself. Jody put a spin on one aspect of this that made me appreciate it though. And the way she tells the story helps you see different perspectives & why we make the choices that we do.This book was full of so many beautiful messages. Forgiveness, trust, redemption, family, perseverance, and how true love can be the healing balm to our hearts.I challenge you to read all the Colorado Cowboys and fall in love with the mountains, horses, wide-open skies, simpler times, and men/women full of hard-work, passion, & integrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jody Hedlund saved the best for last

Dylan McQuaid - rebel, scalawag, and repentant. He's a man who didn't know how to live up to the expectations he felt his pa and his brothers had for him, so he ran away from any and all hardships. He used every vice available to escape, but he never lost his innate kindness or his respect for the law. Catherine Remington - upstanding citizen, serious and smart, with no belief in her own worth. She always felt as though she disappointed others, much like the man she is sent to find. I'm always a sucker for a story of redemption, especially when the characters involved are so likeable and well developed. If all four McQuaid brothers were real, and I was given the chance to marry one - Dylan would be my first choice. I'm thrilled that Jody Hedlund saved the best McQuaid for last.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Chance Cowboy (Colorado Cowboys Book 5)
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023
Dylan McQuaid had to leave Colorado after making some bad decisions. Returning four years later, Dylan works as sheriff to show his family and the town he is a changed man.

As a midwife, Catherine Remington delivers a baby to a young woman in Chicago. As she is dying, she reveals the father is Dylan and asks Catherine to take the baby to him.

The Last Chance Cowboy is the fifth and final book in Jody Hedlund's Colorado Cowboy series. I was eager to read this story; however, I wish it had not focused so heavily on Dylan's past. I have loved the McQuaid family and will miss them.

I purchased a paperback copy of this book.

I love all of Jody’s books, but this series has been amazing and it’s bittersweet to see it end! Dylan’s story was so well written and full of God’s love and second chances! I love marriage of convenience stories and this one had all the feels! Dylan was so sweet, charming and caring to Catherine, and she was an easy to love heroine! I loved watching their love story unfold and grow! There were so many elements to this story and Jody made them all fit together in one great masterpiece! Please don’t hesitate on this one!!

We got all the McQuaids married & happy, but what about Astrid? Surely there's a story there! In Last Chance Cowboy, Dylan is blessed by Ivy & Jericho when they paid off the bounty on him so he could return home. He left Chicago & turned his life around, becoming sheriff of Fairplay. But then his past shows up and turns his life upside down. This might be my favorite of this series, and I've loved every one of them! Sad to reach the end.

I like how she showed that God was with Dylan.God was rhere with him even when the old ways would temp him. I liked the way the Arthur showed how when God was teaching Dylan to forgive God was teaching Catherine to love how God made her and to be thankful.it was a beautiful story about two people but it was also about a family and the love they had for each other.

I wasn't sure what headspace Dylan would be in when The Last Chance Cowboy started. But thankfully, he's repented of his wild ways and is working very hard to do better with his life. He's been elected as sheriff on a kind of temporary basis. At least until the next election. He has been sober since coming back to Colorado, and he has been staying away from women, too. I was worried he would be a drunk mess when this book started, so I'm thankful we didn't have to go through the worst of his transformation with him.

Catherine was the midwife that assisted with the birth of Dylan's illegitimate son. Kit died giving birth, but before she passed, she begged Catherine to take Austin to Dylan. Catherine didn't have plans to follow through with her agreement, but she witnesses a murder and basically runs for safety. When she arrives in Colorado, Dylan doesn't realize that she's not Kit. He was drunk for almost all of his interactions with Kit. And so he offers to marry her. Catherine has developed a bond with Austin and doesn't want to give him up. She sees that marrying Dylan might be convenient.

I know I've discussed several times that I love marriages of convenience. The concept is so foreign to our culture. But I love the idea of almost immediately being a team. It wouldn't be "convenient" if both parties didn't get something out of the arrangement. And so the relationships start with some common ground and then develop into love. It's what makes them so beautiful.

I liked that Dylan wasn't completely untempted by his former vices. He still struggles with the call of alcohol. And his understanding that he's already been intimate with Catherine causes him to attempt to be more physical with her than he originally agreed. In hindsight, I can see more things that I feel Dylan should have picked up on or questioned.

Without spoiling too much, I thought Catherine would be honest with Dylan about the mixup very early on. The first time she changed her mind and didn't tell him right away, I understood, but the longer it took her to tell him, the more frustrated with her I became.

I do find it a little unbelievable that often characters in stories like these are willing to give up their partner when they find out the secret they've been hiding. They feel betrayed and that makes them feel like they can't forgive. But when the partner is physically threatened, they suddenly realize that they can't live without them, afterall. Why is that? They were ready to be parted with them? Yet it takes a threat to their safety to make them realize how they truly feel? One of those things I probably shouldn't question too much, I guess.

Favorite quotes:
-"When we do what's right, then we can trust the good Lord for the outcome of His choosing. Might not be exactly what we want, but when we always honor Him, He blesses us for it."

-"The list of my transgressions and shame could drown me in the depths of the sea." "Then let them drown, but without you."

The Last Chance Cowboy is a book that I was afraid I wouldn't get for review since I didn't get approved for a review copy of Falling for the Cowgirl. This made it one of my most anticipated books of 2023. I really enjoyed it. Dylan had a lot of shame and regret to work through, but when he gave his life to God, he got more in return than he could have expected. Catherine was an easily likeable character for her willingness to help those less fortunate--or whoever needed her. I happily give The Last Chance Cowboy 4 Stars. Now I wait for Astrid's book to be the first of a new spinoff series by Jody Hedlund. Have you read The Last Chance Cowboy? What did you think? Let me know!
