I could not put down Faith and Gage’s love story in Cowboy True by Michelle Beattie, book two in her Tangled Up in Texas series. This is a wonderful, emotional, and heartwarming story, featuring two broken individuals, due to their upbringings, who have grown into two strong adults. Faith is our dispirited but strong heroine while Gage is our hero whose gentleness and kindness to all is amazing and selfless. These two former school friends spent an amazing night reconnecting in San Antonio after six years apart. Faith is reluctant to return to her hometown, needing to tell Gage about the consequences from their night together. She has no desire to stay in Last Stand, especially after all of her painful memories. Faith is determined that she will never again be anyone’s burden or responsibility again. Gage knows that Faith has always been the one. He also realizes that he has an uphill battle before he can convince her that his heart is hers, and always has been. Ms. Beattie wrote a wonderful, heartwarming and emotional story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Gage a chance to prove to Faith that she can trust in his love. I highly recommend Cowboy True to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Cowboy True is such a good book! It's a second chance romance that had me turning the pages from the very first to the end. Faith and Gage have this connection between them that we all see and hey do as well but Faith for some reason fights it. Well, we see the reason but she still fights the attraction. Then when fate throws a baby in the way life really get "hairy". Gage is most certainly what I would call a George Strait of Cowboys or as the title says a Cowboy True. The path is not straight by any means so saddle up and come find out how Faith and Gage get along in this romance. You love it I promise you.

This is a book that I could not put down, loved Faith and Gage. A second chance romance. Both had troubled homelives growing up and were friends in high school. Gage knew Faith was leaving Last Stand as soon as she graduated but he has responsibilities at the ranch. Fast forward six years and they meet again, ends up in a one night stand. That one night stand will have lasting memories and change their futures. Now Gage just needs to convince Faith that they need to be together and that she is worthy individual. Loved these characters, both are broken from their upbringing but now are two strong individuals. Even though Faith does not see it in herself. Gage is so compassionate to Faith. Loved how Faith wants to break the cycle of her upbringing. The ongoing mystery of Gage's dad is just killing me, I want more. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone, but then go back and read Cowboy Up. Now I can't wait to read the next book!!
