Constrained by her life as a Society widow, Lady Olivia Xavier finds escape in two unusual ways as the owner of a successful brewery, and as a secret reader of penny dreadful Western novels. But Olivia’s beloved brewery is being threatened, and she has no ally in her fight. Until a mysterious cowboy steps out from the London fog, saving her from a terrifying brawl. Suddenly, Olivia isn’t just reading about the Wild West, she’s living it.
Colorado cowboy Will Coffin has made the long journey from his Rocky Mountain home to discover his birthright. While searching for his family, he encounters the beguiling Olivia. Will’s never met a real English lady before—certainly not one as lovely and courageous as Olivia—and he can’t resist coming to her rescue.
Olivia is powerfully drawn to the rough but honorable cowboy. She proposes a most scandalous arrangement in exchange for helping protect her brewery, she’ll help Will find his family. Even more scandalous is that he’ll be sleeping under her roof. The entire arrangement sets Society’s tongues wagging. Meanwhile, the danger to the brewery, and Olivia herself, keeps escalating. But nothing’s as dangerous, or seductive, as the growing desire between the lady and the cowboy…
Lady X's Cowboy was originally published by Dorchester in 2006 and is newly revised by the author.

What a charming little book, Will may have been a cowboy out of his element but he was no man's buffoon. I really enjoyed the romantic struggle between Will and Olivia. The classic upstairs downstairs angst with a little twist. The hired thug Maddox was a hoot, reading Western dime novels to figure out how to fight Will and Pryce the stereotypical aristocrat that always get someone else to do their dirty work was a slimy character. SPOILER: I was glad the author did not have Will coming from a wealthy family and that Olivia got her title because her husband was a successful business man. The love scenes though not many were placed just right within the story, the author allowed Will & Olivia to develop their attraction to each other and made the reader as anxious for the deed to be done as the H/h. It was nice to read a book about the working class finding love for a change. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.Product details

Lady X Cowboy edition by Zoë Archer Romance eBooks Reviews
Olivia Xavier has been widowed for five years. In his will, her husband left her the brewery, Greywell, which Olivia is determined to run herself. As a lady in 1883, it's extremely unconventional for her to be working, and running a brewery is shocking. Olivia doesn't care. She has her dreams and fantasies, and they all center around the stories she reads in dime novels about cowboys and the untamed America.
Will Coffin is a cowboy from Colorado. He's in England looking for his family with no real clue where to start his search. Like any self respecting cowboy, he brought his boots, hat, guns, and saddle with him across the ocean. He has no idea when he rescues her from some thugs that all his skills would be needed to save Lady X's life and brewery.
Olivia is standing outside the brewery waiting for her coach to arrive when she's accosted by several men who'd been sent to intimidate her into selling her brewery. While she's fending them off, a real live cowboy comes out of nowhere and rescues her with a bit of muscle and good ol' western brawling. Once the ruffians are gone, Olivia thanks Will and offers him a reward for his help. Will feels that he only did what any man worth his salt should do and therefore is extremely offended by her offer. He does tell her the general area where he's staying and she later tracks him down. Fortunately for him, she finds him right as the owner of the establishment is requesting him to leave and refuses to let him into his room to gather his possessions. With Olivia backing him up and looking down her aristocratic nose, the owner finally backs down and allows Will to retrieve his things. Olivia offers Will a room in her home for the night. While they talk, Will tells her about his parents' death and the miner who had found and raised him. He also explains to her exactly why he is in England. Olivia is in dire need of help with the so-called gentleman who's trying to force her to sell her brewery. Will needs help finding his folk. Can the two of them work out a plan that ensures that they both find their dreams . . . even if their dreams are more than they ever imagined.
I've read many books with cowboys and ladies but this is the first one I've ever read where the cowboy goes to England and I have to tell you I love it! Will doesn't put on fancy airs for anybody. He speaks with a decidedly American twang, and isn't afraid to fight when the need arises. Olivia is also bold, her fear of being ousted from society keeps her from displaying the full force of her nerve, though you do get peeks of it here and there. She's intelligent and determined, just as I'd expect a business woman to be. However, there's also a wistfulness that comes out when she's with Will. Together, they're a power to be reckoned with as they set out to shock and titillate the upper-crust of English society. Zoe Archer's LADY X'S COWBOY is both humorous and exciting from beginning to end. Definitely a book I'd recommend reading if you enjoy cowboy stories.

She was an independent widow frustrated by the rules of London society. He was a cowboy from Colorado seeking his past and contemplating his future. The differences between them were limitless, but their passion was undeniable.
Lady Olivia Xavier has been a widow for over two years when this story begins and she is successfully running the brewery her husband left her after his death. One night on the streets of London, Olivia is attacked and then rescued by none other than American cowboy Will Coffin. Will is basically a drifter in London, looking for any clues about his past. He is desperately seeking the identity of his birth parents, who died when he was younger. But seeing the beautiful Lady X has distracted him from his original quest.
Olivia is fascinated by Will from the first moment she meets him. The man is a real-life cowboy - straight out of the pages of the dime novels she loves to read about cowboys and Indians. She knows society would never accept any association between the two of them, but Olivia can't help the attraction she feels towards this stranger in a Stetson.
Olivia also realizes Will is a man with nothing to lose. So she asks if he would help protect her brewery from the mischievous Lord Percy. Percy wishes to buy her brewery, but Olivia has refused every attempt. Olivia is worried Percy's attempts to scare her into selling are becoming more serious and dangerous with each passing day. Will, never one to abandon a woman in distress, quickly rushes to her side as her protector.
Lady X's Cowboy is nothing but surprises. It is a fun ride from the first page to the last. If I'm going to pick a historical romance to read, Regency and Westerns are probably two of my favorites, but put the two together? Well, that sounds like an interesting challenge for any author...one that Archer is more than capable of pulling off.
From chapter one, Archer had created a world that I knew I would enjoy immensely. It was charming, funny and just beautiful storytelling. I was completely blow away by the quality of her writing. She would have a strong western accent from one character and quickly switch to the heroine's dialogue of formal English. Let's just say I was impressed. The characters were so strongly different right from the start I found it hard to believe that one person wrote them. And they were absolutely delightful to read about. Lady X was a truly fierce, independent woman way ahead of her time. The way she would 'spit' in the face of society was fascinating. She walked a fine line...keeping herself in good graces with those around her, but never too careful as to follow society's rule to the point where it made her unhappy.
Will was even more charming. Everyone tried to perceive him as the dumb American cowboy, but he was anything but. His dialogue was colorful and his manners were adorable. You could not have asked for a better hero. He was the muscle to protect her during the day...and he was the intellectual and sensual individual to keep her company at night. The only question was Could they overcome their differences and society's disapproval to live happily ever after?

This was one of those books where the gratuitous porn at the beginning was such a turn off that I almost didn't read the rest. Skip chapter one and there is actually a decent plot, but not enough of one to make the purchase anything but a regret.
This was my first Cowboy meets England book and I really enjoyed it. The wit is what makes this book stand out. I had many laugh out loud moments. I look forward to reading my books by Zoe Archer.
I never finished it. It's a historical romance set in Victorian England but I do wonder if the author really knows anything about the Victorian England - too many inaccuracies. Also, the characters were more of cartoons (or buffoons). I was very disappointed because I have heard Zoe Archer speak (at a writer's conference) and I was very impressed with her knowledge of writing and her success. Perhaps her later books are better, I surely hope so.
