Returning to Marietta, Goergia is always a treat, this time with the Gallaghers...having Glenna's story finally told has been a long time coming and was told perfectly.

The story was fast paced...even though you thought you knew what would happen next, the unexpected would come out of nowhere. Glenna finding her own HEA was heartwarming...if anyone deserved one, it was she...the way she did was bittersweet. This was a quick and enjoyable story, only sad because this may very well be the end of the Gallegers' story.

Return Of The Cowgirl is the fifth and final book in The Gallaghers Of Montana series, which tells the stories of the five Gallagher siblings. Set partly in South America and partly in one of my favourite make believe towns, Marietta Montana, this is a contemporary western with a nice mix of sweet and sexy. Return Of The Cowgirl can be read independently or as part of the series.
Glenna Gallagher is a feisty redhead who spends much if this story suffering from amnesia. On the run but with no real idea why people are chasing her, she’s suspicious of everybody though it doesn’t take her too long to learn to trust Mitch Hardeman, the private investigator her brothers have hired to find her. It doesn’t hurt one bit that she also finds him sexy as hell.
I really loved the South American part of the story. I think it is some of the best Eve Gaddy writing I’ve read. I was well and truly hooked, and constantly on the edge of my chair worrying that Mitch and Glenna would be caught before escaping to the States.
The second half of the story is gentler, allowing these two to get to know each other. I’ll admit that I preferred the faster pace of the earlier part of the story, but that doesn’t mean the second half was boring. Just different, and ultimately appropriate to what was going on.
This is a fairly quick read—It took me about three hours all up—but I think it’s a fitting conclusion to what has been a lovely series.

This book was really good. I liked the twist that Glenna's amnesia provided. I loved Mitch's character.

I have not read any other stories in this series. This book can easily be read as a standalone.

I liked the plot in this series...it was very different. Mitch is a PI hired by a group of 4 brothers to find their sister who is in trouble. When Mitch finally tracks her down, he's in for a huge surprise as it turns out that Glenna has amnesia and has no idea who she is.

The relationship between Mitch and Glenna is slow to build as it should be given everything going on and the trauma that Glenna suffered which resulted in her amnesia. Mitch is overly cautious which I appreciated. He didn't jump right in but instead focused on what he thought was best for Glenna.

3.5 Stars- What do you do when you lose your memories about everything...when you don't have an inkling of what your life was ...And if the only thing you do know is that you have been running from something... how do you trust a person who says he is there to help you get back to your home...

This is the idea of the fifth and final entry to The Gallaghers of Montana. Although I hadn't read the previous books, Eve Gaddy had me interested all the way.

How do you tell a girl you love her when she does not remember who she is? To top it all, you know who she is and had been hired to find her!

That's the dilemma PI Mitch Hardeman found himself in upon finding her quarry, the missing Glenna Gallagher of Marietta, Montana whom her brothers had been looking for some time.

In "Return of the Cowgirl," book 5 of The Gallaghers of Montana, Eve Gaddy brings her readers traipsing all over South America to find the only girl among the Gallagher siblings who happens to have amnesia. That is the reason why she had been missing. Or was it? Throwing in a little bit of romantic suspense, Gaddy gave Mitch and Glenna's story an unexpected twist.

It's actually a treat to be brought into these far away locales but don't think for a moment that Gaddy forgot where the series is rooted.

The book title "Return of the Cowgirl" means that we will all trek back to Montana and we all did to find familiar characters that it felt like a true homecoming. With all of the Gallaghers accounted for, Eve Gaddy has wrapped up the series in more ways than one.

As we followed Mitch and Glenna and witnessed how they fell in love, all the loose ends among the other Gallaghers were all tied up nicely. The ending was a very happy and emotional family reunion. No, it is not a tear jerker, but nevertheless, it will tug at your heartstrings and make you smile.

As we bid farewell to the Gallaghers, it's also time to give Eve Gaddy kudos for writing a unique series about doctors in western stories. She made stethoscopes and Stetsons go together very well. Bravo!

"Return of the Cowgirl" is Rated M for Mature due to violence and some sexual content.

I have been waiting to read about the missing sister of Gallaghers and I so enjoyed. Glenna knows nothing of her life before a bus accident but she knows that she can trust the one man in her life, Mitch. Mitch is the PI that her brothers hired to bring Glenna back home to Marietta. Mitch knows better that to pick pleasure with business but can he hold out on Glenna.

A great story packed full of mystery and suspense that will keep you turning the pages. A great conclusion to the Gallaghers of Montana. This is a stand alone book but better understood if you read the books prior in the series.

There’s always a touch of sadness when it comes time for the final story in a series. I’ve enjoyed the Gallagher brothers journeys in finding that special someone that fits them perfectly. The only empty place was where Glenna should have been. But their sister had left years ago after a fight with their father. Oh, the guys figured out why, but she was still missed. Now Glenna has gone missing under unbelievable circumstances and they’d hired Mitch to find her and bring her home. Trouble is, it’s hard to come home when you don’t know where home is.

Glenna was on the run. From what exactly she didn’t know, but she knew instinctively that her life was in danger. This stranger who claimed she was someone she couldn’t possibly be was annoying, stubborn and, if she admitted it, quite handsome. But still a stranger she couldn’t trust, until he’d rescued her from an abduction and kept her safe. It’s hard to imagine not knowing who you are. We all have memories that we’d love to erase completely, but for Glenna a trauma after a bus accident had wiped her memories and she truly had no clue who she was. She only knew for certain that she was in danger, and she had a secret that could cost her more than memories, it could cost her life.

Return of the Cowgirl brings Glenna Gallagher home. It also brings danger and mystery along with her. Glenna lost her memory but she didn’t lose her stubbornness. Mitch and Glenna have an intense attraction, one that Mitch is reluctant to act on since she doesn’t know who she is. Glenna has no such worries for she’s living in the moment for her memories may never return. The danger she’s in is very real and adds an edge to this romance from the very first page. It’s always a delight for me when past characters reappear, and in this final story in the series we catch up with everyone… even the dogs and horses that have been a part of all the Gallagher’s romances. I’ve had fun with these people, and I would highly recommend this story, as well as the entire series for any Romance reader. If you love mystery, sassy characters and a family that is tight knit then you’ll enjoy Return of the Cowgirl.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

What an emotional ride Eve Gaddy takes the reader in The Return of the Cowgirl, her fifth book in The Gallaghers of Montana series. Glenna Gallagher has been missing from the ranch she worked at in Argentina. Her brothers are at their wit’s end and hire a private investigator to locate her. Mitch Hardeman finally tracks down Glenna only to discover she doesn’t know who she is. Although Glenna suffers from amnesia after a bus accident, she knows she’s in danger. Mitch offers her protection as well as explaining who she is. Once home in Marietta, her memories are still missing as she meets up with her family. Glenna wonders if she can convince Mitch that she doesn’t need to remember her past to know he is the one man she wants. As she begins to regain her memory Mitch wonders if he can protect this women he loves from the danger that followed her from Argentina.

I loved reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Gaddy is a wonderful story teller. She drew me in and did not let me go until I read the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The Gallaghers of Montana have fallen and fallen hard and now it is time for the missing Gallagher sister to return to the safety of her brothers and family.

Glenna Gallagher doesn’t remember her past or her name for that matter. With an unexplained urge to protect herself and fly under the radar, she moves from town to town doing, never really understanding what’s she’s running from or who she’s hiding from until private investigator Mitch Hardeman catches up with her.

Hired by her brothers to bring Glenna home, Mitch has his job cut out with Glenna’s amnesia and gaining her trust to take her back to Marietta to her family. With danger lurking in the shadows and her memories coming in bits and pieces, Mitch’s protective instincts come on full blast, and as they navigate home, so does his attraction to Glenna.

“Return Of The Cowgirl” is one of the coolest books I’ve read. A simple story of a sister gone missing and the tenacity of her family to bring her home; no matter what continent she’s been living. With a hint of mystery and no histrionics whatsoever, this is a wonderful story of a woman trying to come to terms with her past and future and of a gentleman willing to go to any lengths to protect and cherish her.

Eve Gaddy does a great job with developing the relationship between Glenna and Mitch as well as the delicate and sensitive relationship with her brothers. I’ve come to love Eve Gaddy and her wonderful love stories full of charm and charisma, and her Whiskey River series will always remain as one of my favorites of her works.

I have read this entire series of Gallaghers so I had been thrilled to finally find out what had been happening with the one sister, Glenna in Return of the Cowgirl by Eve Gaddy. Even with that said, this book would stand well on its own if the brothers’ previous stories had not been read. I can recommend them too.

Return of the Cowgirl was vastly different from the other books in the series but I liked it. I chuckled as I read the author’s note at the beginning, it seemed Glenna had always been a strong-willed individual even for the writer. From reading the preview, Glenna has traumatic amnesia but that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg in her story. It is romance with a hint of thriller added to the mix. Nothing too dramatic. The good guys are good, government agencies can be trusted and the bad guys are identified early. If I am ever lost or in trouble, I hope it is someone like PI Mitch Hardeman who comes after me!

Return of the Cowgirl is the kind of read that is enjoyable without being nail biting. Now the siblings are all together again; a wonderful finale to the series.

Wow! Hard to put this one down. I have read the others in the series, but not sure if that was needed to enjoy this book or not. Starts out in Chile, where she is approached by Mitch, a PI hired by her brothers to find her. She was in a terrible bus accident, and has no memory, so of course that is the running theme throughout the book. Being chased by bad guys, almost kidnapped a couple of times, and trying to find out her memories while falling in love make for a fun book to read. Enjoyed this book a lot and highly recommend this book, series and author.

This one wasn't really a favorite of mine. While it has Marietta roots it doesn't really fit the Marietta mold of stories. There is a lot going on in the story with a bit of mystery and suspense in it. The writing seemed a bit scattered to me though and didn't really keep my attention the way it should. Perhaps I was expecting another type of story but for whatever reason it just didn't work for me.

Already a star within the world of romance, Ms. Gaddy is quickly making a name for herself with romantic suspense as well. Return of the Cowgirl shows her mysterious side with intriguing characters and a suspenseful story. Glenna and Mitch deliver just what you'd expect from an Eve Gaddy novel. Fierce attraction, strong characterization and an abundance of emotion. The plot proved a bit confusing at times but I enjoy reading stories that are cryptically engrossing, so this was right up my alley. (3.5 stars)

Glenna's book, as the last of the Gallaghers and as someone largely absent from the series, is not a Marietta affair. While she does have a story, it feels more like a vehicle to see the others one more time.

Glenna gets into a terrible fight with her sexist Dad (apparently there are a lot of them floating around Marietta) and then hightails it to Argentina. Of course, seven years away from Marietta and all we see are flashbacks to nothing related to her day-to-day experience.

With amnesia and on the run, Glenna is saved by Mitch who brings her home. The cops/FBI are involved and then her memory returns and everyone lives happily ever after. At least, that's how it feels. Return of the Cowgirl skirts any real issues and basically skates over any possible depth. It's not even frothy and sweet given the romantic suspense angle. Glenna remains a non-entity and even Mitch's relationship to Austin (his brother) is treated particularly casually.

This was a hard book for Gaddy (Glenna was never really there for her) and it shows.
