Ride a Cowboy by Delilah Devlin
To recover from a bad marriage and divorce, librarian
Katelyn Carter relocates
from Atlanta to a small Texas town. She buys a country
house in need of
rehabbing. Her first day in town she meets sexy, but

calls for help to
remove a rattlesnake from her home, Daniel comes to her
rescue and offers
his professional services to fix the house and her broken
heart.
Love relationships, like love stories, need time to
develop. That's why it can
be a challenge to create a good romance anthology in a
small volume. Most
of the stories in this public hero collection read as if
their development was
rushed. The characters are flat (i.e., one character is
simply referred to as the
"wife beater") with no real sense of purpose for their
stories. They're simply
uninteresting and hard to care about. The plots are
predictable without
development twists, uniqueness, or sparks of imagination --
at least none that
make sense within context. If you're new to these authors,
be aware that they
are multi-published and have previous works of better
quality you may wish
to consider. Although the exception to the collection is
the final story by
Delilah Devlin. In "Ride a Cowboy" the reader never forgets
who the
characters are and where they're from. The regional
southern dialect and
character actions give the characters dimension. And the
plot, like the Texas
accents, is leisurely and authentic.
Also, if you enjoy romance sub-genres you'll be glad to
know that in
additional to traditional romance, this collection includes
both a science
fiction and a paranormal shapeshifter story.
When it comes to a man in a uniform,
these four ladies show their insatiable lovers exactly who's
the boss...in the bedroom.
