Saltwater Cowboy

GIVEAWAY

BARRITT, CHRISTY

SALTWATER COWBOY

He's trying to forget. She'd give anything to remember.

Officer Levi Sutherland wants to protect the wild horses of Cape Corral and keep the island residents safe. But memories of his deceased wife haunt him at every turn and make him long for a fresh start. When a woman washes ashore with a bullet wound and no memories, Levi knows he can't leave until he discovers what happened to her.

The woman -- whose necklace reads Dani -- captures Levi's attention like no one has in a long time. But which side of the law is she on? Could Dani be mixed up with other mysterious incidents happening on the island?

Together, can the two find answers and create new memories? Or will secrets tear them apart and destroy a future as uncertain as Dani's past?

My Review:

Wow, I think I might have fallen for the island even more than the cowboy! I become enchanted by Cape Corral and the wild horses from Barritt's stunning descriptions. I can still smell the tang of salt in the air and hear the muffled thud of thundering hooves on the sand. This is definitely my idea of the perfect summer beach read!

So, if you love horses and cowboys (and not necessarily in that order!) and you're looking for a riveting literary escape, look no further, Saltwater Cowboy's got you covered.

A second chance romance / amnesia suspense that kept me in a frenzied page turning state (with the occasional swoon break) right to the breathless, heart-pounding finale!

The amnesia trope can be tricky to pull off without feeling cliche but Barritt really sells it in Dani's story. Love the way this mystery unfolds as pieces of her past are slowly revealed. And Levi can't help but be intrigued -- and not just by her circumstances. :-) 

His wife's tragic death has left him with a love/hate relationship with his island home. He loves the wild horses he protects -- along with the rest of the island inhabitants -- but every nook and cranny is filled with haunting memories of all he's lost and he's giving serious consideration to an out-of-state job offer until he's presented with the mystery that is Dani.

Great pacing with some intriguing bad guy POV scenes that amp up the fear factor and make for a compelling suspense. Throw in some toe-curling romance and a band of saltwater cowboys and, well, woohoo, I have a new series addiction!
