HQN

Jacob Dalton can do anything he sets his mind to. He’s been a cowboy. A former EMT. Even a wildland firefighter. But despite all that, he just can’t seem to get over his best friend’s death. Instead, he becomes reclusive and stews in his guilt.

Enter Vanessa Logan, the girl Jacob once saved during a medical emergency and could never forget. With a past as tormented as his own, she is back and working at the Dalton family ranch. Jacob knows getting involved with her can lead to no good, but there’s something about her he just can’t resist.

Vanessa didn’t return to Gold Valley in search of romance. In fact, she just wants to have time to heal from her own traumatic past. Still, she has never forgotten Jacob, the man she always pictured as her own guardian angel. Despite all efforts to ignore her attraction, however, she seems unable stay away. And now she has a secret to tell him that could make or break their chance at a happily ever after.

Every human being on this Earth has a past, good or bad. Some learn to overcome tragedy and press on while others need a gentle nudge in the right direction. In Lone Wolf Cowboy, Yates demonstrates her understanding of a wounded psyche and what it takes to face emotional scars head on. And with Jacob and Vanessa, she introduces us to a couple we can’t help but cheer for and hope they are able to beat the odds.

Lone Star Cowboy is a powerful story, one colored by messy emotions and steeped in real, tangible angst. It is a cathartic novel that proves the importance of expressing our feelings, of doing the work despite our fears, in order to seize the day and live the best life possible. If you’re looking for a great read to pass a lazy summer’s day, this one fits the bill.
