Once a Cowboy - Linda Warren
Listen, you're not going to go into this book expecting a work by Hesiod but this short Harlequin romance does its job. Boy meets girl, they are attracted to each other, slow build-up, conflict, they realize they have feelings for each other, pushing away by one or both parties, misery because they live each other, and then the HEA. This hits most of those points pretty well. The reasons were valid, the family drama was real, and the two mains were clearly meant to be together.

I will say that I think I love Naddy and this book should be re-released as an Avon novel so that we get more character depth and development as well as more Naddy. It would also be nice to see Brodie on a happier situation.
