A quote (from ARC):
“If you let her go, you’ll be sorry. For once in your life, let your heart lead you instead of your insatiable need to save the planet. Take a chance on love and cowboy the fuck up.”
I was completely absorbed by “Cowboy Up”, it’s a wonderful story about ordinary people facing extraordinary and unexpected events with strength and aplomb. This is my second time reading Stacy Finz and I find her writing style utterly engaging and this story was a pleasure to read, with its riveting characters and dialogue and subtle sense of humor.
Cash, Aubrey and Ellie are wonderful characters, real and multidimensional, I just felt connected to them and to Cash’s family. Cash and Ellie’s relationship is something unique and tender.
I loved our “rough-around-the-edges” and a bit tortured hero who yet is so gentle with his daughter, and Aubrey, our assertive and mature heroine. It was lovely to watch them go from friend-with-benefits to lovers and even the sex scenes weren’t the fastidious kind you have to skip. And the honesty between them and the lack of silly drama is so refreshing.
Now I’m waiting for Jace and Sawyer’s stories.
