A Cowboy for Keeps by Laura Drake

A Cowboy for Keeps

by Laura Drake

Welcome to Unforgiven, New Mexico, a small western town filled with heart, cowboys, and second chances!

Lorelei West has spent her whole life taking care of those she's loved--and after her sister is killed in a car accident, Lorelei steps up to raise the niece she never knew existed. Even though she has a full-time job and is taking care of her sick mother, Lorelei is more than happy to welcome Sawyer into her life. But things change when an unexpected cowboy shows up in Unforgiven wanting to claim custody of Sawyer.

When cattleman Reese St. James learns he has an orphaned niece, he heads down to Unforgiven to bring Sawyer home. But the more time Reese spends with Lorelei and Sawyer, he longs for the close family ties he's always wanted. However, convincing independent Lorelai to take a chance on him won't be easy.

Irresistible Force, Meet Immovable Object. This is a fun story of a rich-yet-still-driven cowboy meeting up with a barely-keeping-things-together woman in the midst of a massive tragedy... and each finding out that they really don't understand the other's motivations. Like, at all. So sparks fly. Repeatedly. And then things get a bit more... intimate. If you like the romance genre at all, you're going to like this book. It hits all the points you're expecting and does so with excellent flair. If you're not quite as sold on the genre, give this one a chance. Drake does an excellent job of keeping things much more real than others of this type. Overall, a very fun read and very much recommended.
