Review: Cowboy to the Rescue

Cowboy to the Rescue by A.J. Pine
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ivy owns a dress shop in the small town of Meadow Valley. On her opening day her mini fridge sets off a small fire and introduces her to the new fire lieutenant Carter Bowen. Although there is an instant attraction Ivy has lost her firefighter brother to a fire and has vowed never to get involved with a firefighter.

Carter is only on probation, he is determined to make this new chance work, a huge change from his former life in Houston and his family business. He shouldn't allow the prickly owner of the dress shop to distract him from his goals. Carter isn't just a firefighter, he's also a cowboy, running a dude ranch with some friends in his spare time.

This suffers from the curse of the novella, not enough time for more than a single plotline, and as a consequence it felt overly simplistic with no character development. Having said that, it was enjoyable and introduced us to Meadow Valley and some intriguing characters. I guess brothers Wyatt and Shane will be getting their own books soon.

I received a free copy of this novella from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
