Looking for love, acceptance, and respect is natural. Having none of that as an only child is bound to create issues, and many extend deep into adulthood. Such is the case with Evelyn. In UNBRIDLED COWBOY we are exposed to just how deeply her self-esteem suffered a blow at many points in her life. She couldn’t live up to her mother’s expectations. She gave up and ran away when things got dicey. Luckily, Evelyn eventually handled her issues with overachieving. She created a company with two best friends. She had a man in her life for ten years who she was slated to wed in just weeks.   But Evelyn’s world was tumbling down in front of her, as she says, like a Jenga game gone bad. This time Evelyn did more than just run. She answered an ad for a mail order bride. Many people probably think those type of arrangements were a thing of the past. This isn’t the old west where men come to tame the land. In fact, the man who put out the ad is a successful rancher. Sawyer, however, needed a bride quickly. He just got custody of his newborn daughter June Bug. Bug needs a mother. And that is what Sawyer is going to get.   Sawyer’s friends and siblings are worried about what kind of woman would answer that ad, and in walks Evelyn. Stunning, classy, definitely out of her comfort zone. But Evelyn needs a new start, specifically where no one is going to judge her. It seems like such a good idea. Both parties get what they need. But then hearts get involved and things get messy.   When you think about being unbridled it means you are no longer being controlled by restraints. This term is usually used in conjunction with horses. But it’s equally meaningful when it comes to people. What Maisey Yates did here in UNBRIDLED COWBOY is brilliant. She created two characters controlled by their past. Each went into this marriage with some harsh realities that were strangling them. In UNBRIDLED COWBOY Maisey Yates shares the story of these two characters who have a chance for more, for everything - but that is going to take courage. Evelyn and Sawyer are probably the two strongest characters I’ve ever met. This is their story. Maisie Yates wrote UNBRIDLED COWBOY with panache. Enjoy.
