A Real Cowboy
Carla Cassidy
Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Mar 3 2015, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373279098
Divorcee Nicolette Kendall, accompanied by her six year old son
Sammy, leaves New York for Bitterroot, Oklahoma
to stay on the ranch her best friend Cassandra
Peterson recently inherited from Cass Holiday who died when a tornado touched
ground. Holiday Ranch cowboy Lucas
Taylor sees the New Yorker for the first time; and to his astonishment he immediately
is attracted to Nicolette and likes the positive energy of her child.
However, someone wearing a ski mask and using a ladder looks into
Sammy’s second floor room. To insure
Sammy’s safety, Lucas sleep in the other bunk in the lad’s bedroom. As he and Nicolette become better acquainted,
they fall in love, but someone has other plans for the mother and her son.
The first Cowboys of Holiday Ranch
is an engaging romantic suspense starring two likable protagonists and a deep
bench who protect the three newcomers like a horde of momma and poppa grizzlies
with their cubs. The relationship
between Lucas and Sammy allows the audience to appreciate further the caring
cowboy while also marveling over the honesty that comes out of the mouth of
babes. Although readers will guess the
identity of the stalker early on, A Real Cowboy is a fine opening act.
