Book Review: Driftwood Cowboy by Lenora Worth

driftwood cowboyLeisurely told as if you are walking on a beach, “Driftwood Cowboy” by Lenora Worth catches you unaware as it slowly hits you that there are three poignant stories here.

First, it’s the story of Michelle Lancaster; second is the story of Brodie Stevens – two people with broken hearts who met in Driftwood Bay. And the third is their love story – protracted and even slow at times.

Beautiful story telling told in a voice that is reminiscent of a bygone yet golden era when storytelling is an art form.

And since this is a novella, you can actually finish it in one sitting! Though you might want to prolong the enjoyment, which I did by re-reading passages.

Driftwood Cowboy is Rated T for Teens due to adult situations. There are no sex scenes in this book.

4.5
Description

Can she heal from a tragedy too great to bear?

When Michelle Lancaster flees her hometown of Spirit, Louisiana to spend time at a beach retreat in Driftwood Bay, Florida, she only wants to run from the tremendous pain of a tragedy that caused her perfect life to shatter into pieces.

But on the day when the memories become too much, a man steps into her path on the beach and causes her beloved horse Coco to almost throw her. Not to mention this is the one man Michelle has tried to avoid. But laid-back boat captain and artist Brodie Stevens has his eye on Michelle and soon, he is pursuing her with a strong-willed determination. He too is haunted, but believes that together they can heal each other. Now the driftwood cowboy must convince Michelle it’s possible to hope… and to love again.
