I enjoyed this for many reasons, one being that it was a light and easy read. (Each chapter was about 10 pages, the chapters were short, and the overall book was about 20 pages shorter than the last one in this series.) Romantic dialogue had me sighing with happiness, the scenery of horses and mountains was beautiful, and a couple of action scenes had my blood pumping! Not to mention the scenes in general were so vivid that I could almost pull out a pencil and piece of paper to draw what I saw.
I personally felt that the main female protagonist, Savannah, was a step up from Linnea, the most recent main female protagonist in this series. There just wasn't much to her. (Don't get me wrong. Do read the last book, The Heart of a Cowboy. It being one of my favorites of author Jody Hedlund's books yet, my heart was swept away!) Savannah, on the other hand, was far more relatable, down-to-earth, messed-up-but-kind, and just plain REAL and ALIVE.
Despite the book deserving a solid 4.5/5 stars, there was one issue that bugged me and only grew bigger: Attraction. Wanting to kiss or stroking hair is sweet and romantic, but what happens in this novel goes further. Perhaps it is just my tasteâyou may end up enjoying the scenesâbut I was quite uncomfortable, so much that I either skipped over these parts or would temporarily stop reading the book.
There were so many good parts of this novel, but one of my favorites was the last chapterâpractically a sneak peak for the next book, Falling for the Cowgirl. I cannot wait to see what happens next in Colorado Cowboys!
