Review: Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy by Caitlin Crews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

Ty Everett is the second of the three Everett brothers, each tortured in some way by their upbringing. He left home when he was eighteen, gifted only with a black eye from his bitter father, to join the rodeo. A little over eighteen months ago he was trampled by a bull and the doctors thought he might never walk again but he pulled through although he still has a limp. He returned to the family ranch after his father's death and has agreed with his brothers to spend a year on the ranch before they decide what to do with their inheritance. What no-one knows is that Ty lost two years of his memories when he was stomped by the bull.

Hannah Monroe was a Rodeo Queen, she and Ty got married secretly but he freaked when she announced she was pregnant and told her he never wanted a child, or to see her again. Now she's come to Cold River Ranch to get a divorce. But when Ty does not recognise Hannah she has to decide whether to hope his memory comes back or turn her back on the only man she's ever loved.

I did enjoy this but having read all three brothers' books I did start to feel this was all a bit rinse and repeat. Each brother is torn up inside in fear that he is just like their drunken, violent, twisted father. Each woman in her own way is a bit of a doormat and (of course) a virgin for one reason or another until she meets the Everett brother of her dreams. In each case it's the woman who has to do all the running with the Everett brother either totally oblivious or fighting it hard.
