Book Review: The Cowboy Rides Away by Jeannie Watt

The Cowboy Rides Away” is a story of second chances with a twist. Timid Meg Marvell who usually second guess herself created this second chance with Jason Mann, the cowboy she fell in love with and then walked away. Short of saying Carpe Diem, Meg decided to apply for a summer job at ranch where Jason works.

Easy peasy… right? Not really. Jason has issues that even Meg cannot imagine nor understand. But, as an old saying goes – love conquers all … Meg has to be strong enough for both her and Jason so that they can get over that bump. After that, Jason can take their relationship to the next level. The question is, will Meg be strong enough?

A romantic story wrapped around a serious subplot of family dynamics, Jeannie Watt shone a light on overcoming obstacles with a little help from your friends.

The Cowboy Rides Away” is Rated T for Teens due to adult situations. There are sex scenes in this book but they are implied and not graphic.

Description

Never draw a line in the sand that you don’t want crossed…

The last person Jason Mann ever expects to cross a line is sweet Meg Marvell, the woman he’d fallen for–and left–two years ago. An accidental meeting has Meg asking for answers, which he’ll give if she travels hundreds of miles to her cousin’s ranch where he works. Maybe making her go out of her way will help Meg understand that he’s not a good guy. His rough past makes it impossible to fit into her world.

Middle-child Meg Marvell has spent her life brokering peace and bending to avoid conflict. She lives cautiously, rarely takes risks, steps back when confronted. And she is damned tired of it. It’s time to tackle life on her own terms. Break free. And what better way than to answer Jason Mann’s challenge? He doesn’t believe she’ll travel to her cousin’s ranch to discuss why he disappeared from her life, so she does him one better and hires on. She didn’t want him back—she wants to prove that she can rise to a challenge. Unfortunately, the attraction they once shared has not withered and died as she’d once thought…if anything it’s stronger than ever.
