I found this book hard to get into and it rambled. I love romances but I felt that this one just didn't have much of a storyline. I didn't really care what happened to the characters. Others might enjoy it but it didn't work for me.

Sorry to say I could not even finish this book. It lacked from the very beginning. The characters were more like caricatures and just too over the top. Wordy is an understatement -- the author took several pages to state what could have been done in 1-2 sentences.

Eden was not a likable character for me -- more annoying than anything. Shane was a little better, but just too much.

Additionally, I found the overall impression of Texas to be almost joke-like. Such an exaggeration of what the state is really like.

I kept coming back in an attempt to finish (and maybe enjoy) the book, but it never happened.

This book was great loved the country setting. Author did a great job with the story line. Can't wait to read more from this author!!! Awesome job!!

Eden is back home in Wildcat Bluff, Texas after losing everything in California: her marriage, career, and just about everything she owes. Eleven years has come and gone, and just before she settles back home she bumps into her childhood sweetheart Shane Taggart. Even after a decade apart, the fire rekindles making Shane wonder why he ever let her leave Wildcat Bluff in the first place. Neither one hadn’t expected their first encounter to be so soon or so intense and that only ignites when they remember how close their ranches are to each other. Still harboring thoughts about that midnight at Lovers Leap, the relationship shifts when someone is setting fires around the ranches.

“Hot For A Cowboy” is the pretty average cowboy second chance romance story. You can easily feel the strong connection between Eden and Shane, making you root for their happily ever after. Their flirtatious and witty banner, sexual tension and their commitment to each other won me over. The characters had the perfect chemistry and the sexual tension was scorching hot. They were a great mesh together and for once I wasn't able to come with any flaws in the leads. What I loved the most about them was loved Shane's teasing ways had always revealed just how much he cared about her.

The overall story was fine and the characters were likable. There was nothing to bragged about and it was pretty much an average romance novel. I did wish there was a little bit more excitement or suspense to really keep me intrigued. Moreover, the romance seemed quick. You'll think after being gone over eleven years and newly divorce, you'll take some time to get reacquainted with your first love before jumping into a new relationship. But to each their own I guess.
