LUCKIEST COWBOY OF ALL is a wonderful second chance
romance for two couples. This is the first book that I
have read by author Carolyn Brown. I enjoyed the dual
romances, the close knit family and the small town
atmosphere.
Carolyn Brown's descriptive voice and her relatable
characters changed the plot from the predictable secret
baby read to an outstanding second chance romance. The
personal connections between the characters of Henry,
Hope, Jace, and Carlene are crucial to the storyline as
they provide the reader with perspective on the choices
that the four characters made in the past. Understanding
the choices and their consequences is a key element in
both couples opportunity for the second chance romance.
Tilly Rose Varner is my favorite character! This
precocious, open, friendly child with a personality the
size of the state of Texas jumped off the pages and into
my heart. Her upbeat personality captivated me and drew
me into the story. It took me awhile to warm up to
Tilly's mom, Carlene. I didn't understand why she kept
Tilly away from Jace and how she expected him to feel
when he saw his child after nine years. Jace Dawson is a
hard working good man. He's at a crossroads, his brothers
have started families and his mother has moved out of the
family's ranch house. He's not prepared to be a father
but he accepts Tilly with an open heart. The father-
daughter relationship is well-written and I enjoyed each
page devoted to Tilly and Jace.
The chemistry between Jace and Carlene sizzles and they
are given the opportunity to get reacquainted when Jace
is injured. The heart felt conversations between the
couple were emotional and honest. Jace is ready to plan
for the future and Carlene can't let herself think that
far ahead.
Hope has a big decision to make regarding her
relationship with Henry. Hope confides to Carlene and
both women support each other. Hope and Henry's story
appealed to me and I enjoyed its resolution. The
conclusion in this heartwarming novel has several
surprises in store for all of the characters. I loved that
Tilly asked Jace to the father-daughter dance—it added a
sweet touch -- as it was important for Tilly to be part of
a family.
LUCKIEST COWBOY OF ALL is a heartwarming story of
forgiveness, second chances and family. Both couples have
past issues to resolve before they can move forward.
Enjoyed both couples journey towards happiness!
