COWBOY HEAVEN is Book one in the Cowboy Heaven
series by
Cheryl Brooks. I am a big fan of the Cat Star
Chronicles
by Cheryl Brooks but haven't read anything else by this
author. COWBOY HEAVEN is total female fantasy fulfillment
and full of to-die-for cowboys. Angela gets the best of
both worlds -- a steamy, wild fling and a second chance at
real love. She is a widow and a very sympathetic and
realistic female character. Despite having her libido re-
awakened after a period of celibacy, Angela proves to be a
one-man-at-time kind of woman.
One thing I love about COWBOY HEAVEN, as well as other
books by Cheryl Brooks, is how fun and angst-free she
makes
sex. I think, with Angela, Cheryl Brooks strikes the right
balance between mature, adult female who makes her own
choices in life, but also has that small need for parental
approval, like most of us do no matter our age. The humor
added to the sexiness is a nice contrast at times and
gives
the story a wonderful depth. The mystery Cheryl Brooks
throws into COWBOY HEAVEN is a surprise and I really
didn't
expect it but it fits the story without taking anything
away from the romance. I love how the mystery actually
brought the sexy guys on the ranch together more. The
sense
of community between Angela and the ranch hands is very
sweet and I like that dynamic in COWBOY HEAVEN.
Having COWBOY HEAVEN told strictly from Angela's point of
view made me connect to her character the most. She is a
very three dimensional character and Cheryl Brooks does a
great job of exploring her personality and her hidden
fears. I'm glad there wasn't a love triangle in the
traditional sense and that two rivals don't spend the
whole
book fighting over Angela. I love the "friends-to-lovers"
storyline and that relationship develops very organically
and is really charming. I would love to read future
stories
about some of the supporting characters in COWBOY HEAVEN
to
see how their love lives turn out.
COWBOY HEAVEN absolutely lives up to its super sexy cover.
The cast of characters are a likable bunch and I look
forward to possibly reading about them in future books.
With COWBOY HEAVEN Cheryl Brooks brings the heat while
still keeping things fun. I eagerly await the next book by
Cheryl Brooks -- whether it's about sensual aliens or drop
dead sexy cowboys.
When you find yourself in cowboy heaven...
When lonely widow Angela McClure hires a gorgeous
hitchhiking cowboy with an affair in mind, she knows
they'll have to be discreet: her old-fashioned father and
the stern ranch foreman adamantly discourage any
interaction between her and the ranch hands.
Things can get hot as hell...
Despite their attempts at secrecy, the heat between them
is
undeniable. To divert suspicion, Angela forms a new plan:
she'll flirt with all of the ranch hands. Suddenly Angela
has a whole stable full of sexy-as-sin cowboys to play
with, but only one can win her heart.
