Cowgirl at Heart-Review

Cowgirl at Heart by Christine Lynxwiler



First, this is actually the second book in a series.  I did not know this when I picked up the book at the library the other day or I would have looked to see if they had book #1 to read first. I hate reading things out of order.  I now know what book I'll look for next time we go to the library though!

Description(from CBD): 

Welcome to the Ozarks, the setting of award-winning author Christine Lynxwiler's latest breath-taking romance, where the lives of a timid dog whisperer and an out-for-revenge reporter collide. Elyse McCord, the biological daughter of a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, turns into a mighty warrior when a dog's well-being is at stake. Finding herself in the sights of a pistol-wielding maniac whose been mistreating his dog, she's suddenly swept to safety by Andrew Stone, a widower bent on hunting down his wife's killers. Is there any future for an outlaw's daughter and a Texas ranger's son?

My Opinion:  It took me maybe an hour to read this book, cover to cover.  This says something for the book I think.  I could not put it down.  I started reading it tonight while I was nursing my daughter to sleep and only paused when she fell asleep and I put her to bed.  This is a great suspense book with some mystery thrown in there as well.  The author throws a loop in there though and all I'll say is the ending is not what you'd expect!  I highly recommend this book and can't wait to go back and read the first one in the series!
