Along Came a Cowboy


LYNXWILER, CHRISTINE
ALONG CAME A COWBOY

At seventeen, Rachel's illusions about romance were trampled by a rogue cowboy. In the fifteen years since, she's steered clear of spurs and Stetsons -- until she finds herself roped into chairing the Shady Grove Centennial Rodeo Committee. How will she handle working so closely with the one man in town she most wants to avoid?

Ex-rodeo star Jack Westwood never forgot his unrequited teenage fascination for Rachel Donovan, but now that he's back in town, he barely recognizes the woman she's become. Jack can't help but wonder...Is the feisty cowgirl he remembers still there beneath the shuttered exterior?

When a secret from long ago comes knocking, Rachel fights to maintain her sterling reputation. But can the woman who has devoted her life to healing others allow God to mend her own hurts? Will she seize the opportunity to reconcile with her past and open her heart to love again?

LOVED THE PACING, CHARACTERIZATION. LYNXWILER KNOWS HOW TO EMOTIONALLY ENGAGE HER READERS AND I CRIED A TIME OR TWO READING THIS. I DEVOURED THIS BOOK AND THEN COULDN'T WAIT TO PICK UP HER NEXT ONE.
