In Lost Rider, the first Western romance in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Harper Sloan’s Coming Home series, an injured rodeo star encounters an old flame but will she be just what he needs to get back in the saddle?
Maverick Austin Davis is forced to return home after a ten-year career as a rodeo star. After one too many head injuries, he’s off the circuit and in the horse farming business, something he’s never taken much of a shine to, but now that it’s his late father’s legacy, familial duty calls. How will Maverick find his way after the only dream he ever had for himself is over?
Enter Leighton Elizabeth James, an ugly duckling turned beauty from Maverick’s childhood—his younger sister’s best friend, to be exact, and someone whose heart he stomped all over when she confessed her crush to him ten years back. Now Leighton is back in Maverick’s life, no longer the insecure, love-stricken teen—and Maverick can’t help but take notice. Sparks fly between them, but will Leighton be able to open her heart to the one man who broke it all those years ago?
Written in the vein of Diana Palmer and Lindsay McKenna, this Texas-set series is filled with sizzle, heart, and plenty of cowboys!

I'm not generally one to read a cowboy romance, but something in the blurb had me deciding I was going to read this.
Maverick and Leighton had a ton of issues. They like to talk about them...a lot. Given the issues, I applaud the characters for wanting to talk things out and making sure their relationship is on solid ground (after all Maverick was the one that broke Leighton as a teenager). But these two liked to talk their troubles to death. These two, pretty quickly, figure out what they want and what their future would look like, but it felt like we kept going backward rehashing everything. I get it. Get it all out. But at some point, you have to move forward.
This being said, I did like Maverick and Leighton, separately and together. They had a chemistry that was clearly off the charts and wasn't going to be ignored. They were able to work through their issues and became an anchor for each other.
I'll definitely be looking for Quinn and Clay's stories. This family has a lot of healing to do and I can't wait to see who Quinn and Clay find to help them find their HEA.
