Romance Western
The Song of the Soul Mate -- according to Granny Blue Alzate
the
women in her family know their true love if when kissed they
hear
a humming. Well of course modern women think this is just a
bunch of hooey but those with a healthy respect for Native
American folklore know better. I am definitely a member of the
latter. It was these beliefs and family folklore that
somehow kept
the indigenous Native American's lives full of wonder and
richness. These are the best stories ever. And lucky for us Lori Wilde
has
just enough of these bits to keep us happy in MILLION DOLLAR
COWBOY. MILLION DOLLAR COWBOY is a story about going home. Ridge
Lockhart left Silver Feather Ranch and his family in Cupid
Texas
ten years ago. Determined to make his own mark in the world and
he succeeded. His silver mining equipment invention made him
an important name in that industry. Ridge has done well for
himself but coming home meant facing a lot of skeletons he had
been determined to leave dead and buried. Ridge's best friend
Archer was getting married so in honor of that event he had to
come back. Plan was simple -- fly down for three days and
leave. Here's the thing about finding your soul mate -- it doesn't
necessarily happen when it's convenient. Life is unpredictable
and mostly doesn't strictly adhere to a plan. Kaia know that
from
firsthand knowledge. Life events can definitely after your
perspective. Ridge's road had many bumps mostly caused by family
relationships. One of four brothers that had different
mothers but
shared on irascible father. Still to this day Ridge just
seeing eye to
eye with his father so returning home albeit for a very
short time is
just begging for confrontations. Kaia seems to be the only one that can reach Ridge on any
personal or emotional level. Sad for Kaia because she has to
face
the hard facts that Ridge is not going to stay -- and she is
not
going to leave her home. It's going to be up to Ridge to see if he can visualize a
life with
Kaia because he is beginning to realize he can't live
without this
woman who anchors him. MILLION DOLLAR COWBOY is an interesting study of building
relationships and what makes a family. Lori Wilde creates
honest
characters whose main flaw seems to be that they are down to
earth. Through her engaging dialog Lori Wilde has the reader
build a fondness for these characters whose humanity jumps off
the page. The characters in MILLION DOLLAR COWBOY are
slated to become some of your favorites. Kaia has found her
place in life. She didn't settle but more like settled in.
Ridge is the
exact opposite. He has found enormous success but he hasn't
found his place. Whether or not Ridge admits it his one
subconscious goal perhaps is always just beyond his grasp.
Kaia's greatest wish is for Ridge to realize that what he
really
wants is possible and does not depend on success or wealth.
SUMMARY
New York Times Bestselling Author Lori Wilde returns
to Cupid, Texas with a heartwarming story of a cowboy who
comes home to the family ranch for a wedding filled with
surprises… The illegitimate son of a Texas ranching dynasty, Ridge
Lockhart left home ten years ago with one goal: to become
more successful than the father who never accepted him. Mission accomplished, but now he’s back at the Silver
Feather Ranch for a wedding—three days of best man duty
until he can hightail it out. Then he spies Kaia Alzate, and
suddenly leaving isn’t quite so appealing. Kaia Alzate grew up the daughter of the ranch foreman,
servants to the mighty Lockharts in the mansion. Back then,
she followed Ridge around like a puppy. Now, she’s fighting
the attraction she feels for this sexy CEO. She’s determined
not to make a big mistake—but when Ridge takes her in his
arms she’s stunned…could he be the man she’s waited for all
along?
