Author Feature: Tabitha Bouldin — “Adventure with Heart” (and a Cowboy Story You’ll Want to Binge)

If you love clean, faith-forward romance with real emotion, strong character growth, and a little “life is messy but God is faithful” woven through the pages, you’re going to want to meet Tabitha Bouldin. On her website, she describes her stories as contemporary romance with spiritual arcs and characters who “aren’t afraid to be real”… and yes, sometimes sarcastic too.

Tabitha also blends a fun, heartfelt variety into her writing life—she invites readers into a world where cowboy romance and adventure can sit right alongside fairytale fantasy retellings.

Meet Tabitha Bouldin

Tabitha holds a bachelor’s degree in creative writing/English from Southern New Hampshire University. She is a Publishers Weekly bestselling author who loves God, her family, their three cats, and reading—which honestly feels like the kind of vibe you want in a storyteller.

If you’re the type of reader who likes to know an author’s “track record” before you dive in: Goodreads lists dozens of her titles, which means you’re not just getting one new-to-you read—you’re potentially discovering a whole new shelf of favorites.

What Readers Can Expect From Her Stories

If I had to sum up Tabitha’s brand in reader-language, it’s this:

• Clean romance, high heart
• Faith elements woven in naturally (the kind that actually matter to the character arc)
• Relatable characters who don’t have it all together
• A strong sense of place—especially if you love small-town or country settings
• Hope that feels earned (not slapped on at the last chapter)

And as a little “reader blessing” for the road, this verse fits the kind of journey her characters often take—learning to trust, take brave steps, and let God lead:

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:6

Featured Book: Her Cowboy Challenge (Twisted Branch, Book 1)

Now let’s talk about the one I’m featuring today: Her Cowboy Challenge, the first book in Tabitha’s Twisted Branch series.

Here’s the hook (and it’s a good one):

Opposites. Competition. And a big “what do I really want?” moment.

Violet and Remington are both chasing the same prize: a year-long internship with a world-renowned veterinarian.
But what they think they want… and what they actually need… are not the same thing.

• Violet has spent her life on the move, and she’s craving something she’s never really had: a place to belong.
• Remington, a renowned cowboy, sees the internship as his escape hatch—his way out of Twisted Branch, out of the pressures, and out from under the weight of expectations.

As the competition heats up, the story leans into that delicious tension:
She wants a home. He wants to run. And somewhere in the push-and-pull, they start seeing each other clearly—hurts, hopes, and all.

Why you might love this one

If you’re a reader who enjoys:

• “opposites attract” with genuine growth (not just bickering for fun)
• career/competition stakes (internships, goals, proving yourself)
• small-town dynamics + a cowboy backdrop
• clean romance with emotional depth

…this is a strong “curl up with tea and ignore your chores” pick. 😉

Want More After Book 1?

If you finish Her Cowboy Challenge and go, “Okay, I need more of this world,” the series continues (including Her Cowboy Champion and Her Cowboy Christmas).
That’s one of the best parts of finding an author with a deep backlist: you don’t have to say goodbye after one story.
