The days are passing by quickly, the chill in the air is lingering and it’s time for Sunday Salon where we relax a bit to discuss the fascinating books we’ve discovered this past week.
Refill that cup with steaming coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Settle into your favorite chair. Today I’m sharing a delightful story about a cowboy and a cheerleader.
TALL, DARK AND COWBOY by Joanne Kennedy
When a woman down on her luck takes time to rescue a stray dog from certain death, you know there’s something special about her even if she’s not sure herself.That’s Lacey Bradford for you. She’s on the run from her crooked ex-husband’s business partner but helps a stray. When she calls it Sinclair, he was hers.
Lacey heads back to Grady, Wyoming, to seek help from a high school friend who’d been a little sweet on her. She was a cheerleader and he was a farmer. She hopes he still feels favorable toward her as she doesn’t want anything to do with the ill-gotten money Trent had accumulated.
Chase Caldwell runs a used car lot not because he loves it, but because Trent Bradford stole his family’s farm. Chase also blames Trent for his father’s death and Lacey for breaking his heart. He’s torn between helping Lacey and his hatred for her ex-husband.
As the two re-connect, they discover they have changed as has their attraction for one another. Their renewed friendship is a sexy journey with a mixture of humor, suspense, and intrigue. There are lovable, zany supporting characters that add another layer to this delightful story.
Kennedy gives her characters enough problems to be realistic leading readers to feel compassion and understanding for them. There’s not so many problems, however, that readers cry, ‘not another one’ and flip ahead to avoid it. With Kennedy’s characters, readers want to savor each page to learn more about them and what drives them.
You can’t go wrong with a damsel in distress and a sexy cowboy to the rescue. TALL, DARK AND COWBOY is a quick and fun read.
