A Cowboy to Remember

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I am a little torn as to the amount of stars to give this. The story was basically a good one but there were times that I had to re-read sections as I just couldn't seem to understand it at all. There were things that I had to look up as I am not up to date on slang. That in itself was educational and I enjoyed. I love to learn new things while reading romance books. But with this book there just seemed to be a disconnect to me. As to the story well the main characters were just so-so to me. Evie has amnesia after she is pushed down the stairs at a party. She is a well-known chef in New York and a co-host on a television show. Her friend and agent, Nicole, contacts her emergency contact, Jesse Pleasant, in California to see if he will take her back to his ranch in California for some healing. Zach, Jesse's younger brother, has loved Evie since she came to the ranch many moons ago. Unfortunately he was too young to know what love was and sent her away after her Nana died ten years ago. Nana didn't want Zach and Evie to get together as she had so much more planned for Evie. Evie on the other hand has loved Zach forever as well. She right after Nana's death, Evie tells Zach that she loved him and was devastated when Zach told her to go and finish her dreams. Evie, after just burying her last family member, was pissed at him. I did enjoy the multiple POVs that the story was written in. It normally helps me to connect with the characters. Here though I was perplexed with Evie. During her amnesia, she repeatedly tells Zach that since she has no memory that she needs to focus on the present and the future. Great idea. Problem, where she gets her memory back, the old hurts come back and I felt she definitely handled it badly. Here she needed to grow up. I look forward to more of the Pleasant family and their stories. Especially Jesse's. The gentle giant of a man seems really complex and I can't wait to see the kind of lady that will attract him. This is a sexy story. I would only recommend this to someone over the age of 18.

Couldn't Put It Down! My first read by Rebekah Weatherspoon, A Cowboy To Remember, was so emotionally satisfying, filled with love, laughter, tears, and romance, along with the strength found from the enduring ties of family and friendship. The ins and outs, ups and downs of Evie and Zach's wonderful love story and the colorful backdrop of the Pleasant family ranch has me eagerly looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

This one takes you on a rollercoaster ride of feelings for sure! Love my girl Evie, I also just want her safe and taken care of at all times!
