Her Guardian Cowboy

This is a good story about two damaged people in need of acceptance and love. This is the story of Presley and Amber. He was on the rodeo circuit but joined the military. He then was a bodyguard protecting mostly women. After his last assignment went bad he has returned home and now runs a rescue and rehab operation for horses. He is driving home and sees Amber drenched on the side of the road. He has a hard time convincing her to let him help but manages to get her back to his ranch. She clearly doesn't trust men and is on the run. This is an addictive read. I like the characters. The story has drama, mystery, angst, trust, acceptance and so much more.

This story is full of pain, sorrow, regret, good people, respect, courage, support, understanding, acceptance, connection, chemistry and lots of love. Presley was a good man struggling with something from his past, he tried to to do what was right and sometimes he made me want to shake him. Amber was running from her past, trying to live a better life and trying to make peace with her past, all whilst hoping to stay alive and hidden. I enjoyed the development of their relationship, their strong personalities and the connections they made and had with other characters. I liked the addition of Sun Diamond and Elvis to the story and I thought the story flowed well. There were moments that made me smile and laugh in this and there was one moment towards the end when Presley said something that made my heart lift, I've enjoyed reading this and am looking forward to reading the next from this series .

Readers, if you’re looking for a new author, you need to read Shylyn Ray’s books. This may be her debut, but she gives us an engaging read with some wonderful characters. Presley meets Amber when her car breaks down and he luckily stopped to offer his assistance. Is she running from someone? Yes, she is. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say this book had me reading until the end. I think Amber was the perfect one for Presley and I really enjoyed reading about Presley’s sister and his mom and her surprise love interest.
