Summary
A Cowboy Never Quits is the first book in the Turn Around Ranch series by Cindi Madsen. Jessica is a single mom of a teenager that has gotten in trouble. Because Jessica had her own issues as a 16 year old, she is determined, desperate even to not let her daughter make the same mistakes. As a result, she takes her to Turn Around Ranch and begs the to take her daughter even though they do not have any openings. She is even willing to be the cook for the ranch to get her daughter in. Her time as the cook is hilarious which balances out the seriousness of watching your daughter learn from her mistakes. Great mom daughter relationship even though they are going through tough times.
Wade is the oldest son and in charge of Turn Around Ranch. He is a rule follower and a true cowboy. I really like his character. He was a balance of hard worker who loved helping the teens and dealing with his feelings for Jessica.
The author even gave us the point of view of Chloe which was very well done. As an adult you want to smack her in the beginning but seeing her point of view helped us to really love her and cheer for her.
The secondary characters added depth to the story. When Jessica and the counselor tried to have a girls night their conversations had depth. And Aiden, he is so sweet, and watching him trying to do the right thing when his instincts want to do and say the wrong things.
Sexual content – lots of chemistry, a few sexual references, and a couple physical scenes. The story is way deeper than just a romance. It is about a single mom trying to save her daughter from making the same mistakes she makes. How hard it is to watch someone make bad decisions.
Drinking – she tried the moonshine,
Language – there was one F word. And a few four letter words.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
