Book Review: Capturing The Cowboy’s Heart by Lindsey Brookes

Rating:

Cute Though Formulaic

Cade Tyler and Lacy Dalton are both starved for love. A former rodeo champ, Cade retired from the circuit after an accident that ended his career. From the money he earned from riding bulls, he started the Flying T ranch with his friend Burke. Everything was going well with the business until two years ago when Cade’s wife Karen died in a car accident. For Cade and the Flying T ranch, everything went downhill from there.

Enter Lacy Dalton, upcoming reporter for a magazine. Her latest assignment was to do a feature on the now reclusive Cade Tyler. Lacy needed to make the assignment a success. Her boss promised her that she will write the Cowboy Romance column if she delivers. The salary increase will go a long way in paying for the medical care for her grandmother, the only relative she had left.

Lacy’s arrival at the Flying T ranch caused an upheaval that Burke, Cade’s best friend and business partner did not anticipate when he asked Lacy to interview Cade. There was an instant attraction between Cade and Lacy. And as romance stories go, the whole story relates how they fell in love and live happily everafter.

“Capturing the Cowboy’s Heart” is a good read though a little bit formulaic. Burke as a comic relief was a bit overdone and the villain in the story was so obvious from the very beginning that there really was no suspense except for waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The story telling was good and the book was well edited. But the hero and sidekick reference though not annoying was becoming a little bit much by the end

This book is PG 17 due to adult situations
