Kentucky Cowboy by Jan
Scarbrough – 5 Stars
This is one of those lovely
romance novels, with lots of back story, a few fairly steamy love scenes which
are not erotic in nature, that you can pick up and polish off in a few
hours. You don’t want to put the book
down as it is decidedly interesting and it weaves its way into your brain and
the story line is such that you have to finish it before the day is out. The nice thing is that you can. It’s not overly long and drawn out, just the
right amount of drama, romance, and entertainment for a rainy day or a nice lie
in! I found myself carrying the book
with me from room to room from the time that I received it in the mail until it
was finished. The back story is well
developed and the interesting thing is that this book involves a professional
bull rider in the rodeo and for those of us who have never ridden a bull it’s
pretty interesting. This particular bull
rider does this for a living and is on his way to the million-dollar grand
prize for year as the best. He has to go
home and settle his Mothers estate in the middle of his quest and runs into the
girl next door who was always the love of his life in high school until one
fateful night when he pulled a stupid stunt and she walked away from him never
to speak to him again for years. Of
course, him staying next door for a few weeks to sort things out she can’t
avoid him, her niece for whom she has custody runs next door attracted to this
cowboy and all of his interesting story’s along with her baby sitter. Of course, she must retrieve her when she
comes home on more than one occasion, which means she can’t stay silent. He weaves his way back into her head and
heart and the book comes to a beautiful conclusion.
Mandy Sullivan, veterinarian
has custody of her niece and never wants her sister to return to claim her as
she’s been raising Georgia ever since her sister took off leaving behind the
infant to raise. Mandy doesn’t do
danger, she lost parents to that kind of living, and she won’t have it in her
life. Of course, she can’t have
everything her way. No one can really
control their destiny or stay in a nice safe bubble the rest of their lives and
there in lies her problem. You also
can’t really choose who your great love will be because love has a way of
coming up and smacking you between the eyes and some times it can’t be ignored,
especially when it comes to one very handsome, very smart sweet-talking cowboy!
So, there I’ve said enough go
pick up this book and give it a read, I believe you’ll love it as much as I did
as well as anything else written by this author, I love her books I’ve read
many and never found one I could put down.
I received this book through a
drawing that Jan Scarbrough held on her web site. I was lucky to be one
of 17 out of 77 entries. Of course, she sent out the paperbacks hoping we
would write an honest review and tell others how much we liked her book.
I have no problem with that I've read many of hers and they never
disappoint. Thanks Jan for the great read!
