The sad part of NEED ME
COWBOY is the acknowledgment that it probably marks the end of
the lovely and engaging Copper
Ridge series by Maisey Yates. I am so sad to say goodbye to
some of the best characters, but happy to see that Faith Grayson finally
has a story of her own.
Faith Grayson's architecture career is flourishing. Her designs are
getting noticed and she is considered an artist in her field. Working
with two of her brothers gives Faith the freedom to do what she loves -
- design both commercial and residential buildings with an eye toward
enhancing the land and location they will ultimately sit on.
It was the art of Faith's constructions that caught the eye of Levi
Tucker. Levi was being released from prison after spending five years
of a life sentence on a trumped up charge. Levi's wife had disappeared
and he was the target of an indiscriminate investigation and guilty
verdict. No motive, no witnesses, no evidence and nobody. But Levi
was well known as a tough kid from the bad part of town and that
seemed to weigh heavily on his being put behind bars forever. Levi
needs someone of Faith's ability and reputation to help him with his
plan of retribution against his very alive wife. The woman who let him
remain imprisoned for five years while helping herself to his money.
Faith sees a lot of good in this tough large man with a huge chip on his
shoulder and scars and tattoos over his body. Levi has every reason to
be angry but Faith sees this anger as the very thing preventing him
from moving forward with his life.
Levi's only hopeful instinct was for the freedom taken from him when
he was sent away. The design Faith sketches is about open spaces,
windows, and no doors. So symbolic of being released from prison but
the only one that can really set Levi free is himself.
And Faith is determined to prove to Levi that he can do just that -- if he
would open his heart and mind to love and hope. Two things sorely
missed from Levi's entire life to date. But things he is fighting against
as the relationship with Faith begins to morph into something more
than just fun and games.
No one can make that choice for you and in NEED ME COWBOY Maisey Yates sets up an emotional
tug of war between the two main characters. As always the characters
are real, honest and endearing even when not very domesticated. Levi
is as jaded as Faith is innocent. Somehow the romantic Maisie Yates
saw them as perfect for each other and we can't help but agree.
New York Times Bestselling Author
He’s not a man to be played with.
Not without consequences.
For five years, Levi Tucker had no control over his life, locked up for a
crime he didn’t commit. Never again would any woman—any desire—
overtake this cowboy’s common sense. Now Faith Grayson, the sexy,
brilliant architect he’s hired to design his grand new house, is sorely
testing his resolve. Faith is too young. Too innocent. Maybe just too
tempting.
