The Cowboys New Heart ReviewA wonderful stand alone book, but if you have read the first 4 books, this is the frosting on the cake. The 5th and final book in the Spring Valley Cowboy Series was a wonderful end to the series. I am going to miss the Spring Valley Cowboys. This book was a heartfelt romance of two widows in their 50's. The characters Denni and Hart, were well developed and you felt you were there witnessing all the love and devotion in the Triple T Ranch characters.I don't want to rehash the book in this review, instead encourage you to purchase this one and the other 4. They are stand alone, but you really grow to love the characters if you read them in order. My teenage Granddaughter has read all these books (except this last one) and loves them.I had the pleasure of reading all 5 books and would highly recommend them to anyone that likes good clean romantic feel-good stories. I would love to see this series on the Hallmark Channel.Sometimes older citizens are deemed to no longer need or want romance. I disagree, and this book shows that our bodies may age, but our minds are forever young.Kudos to Shanna, for writing this book, with older characters, that other authors tend to shy away from. I look forward to more books from this wonderful author.
This is definitely one of my favorite books in this series. Nana/Ester will have you completely laughing out loud MANY times -she is such a hoot!! My husband kept looking at me funny when I was laughing out loud, so I read some of the things Nana was saying, out loud to him and he laughed, too! As always, the romance is hot, hot, hot and a healthy depiction of normal, healthy desires, even in a Godly relationship. Also, just because people are over 50 doesn't mean they are dead! I loved that the book shows this for "older" characters and a healthy sex drive and desires are part of that. *Spoiler alerts to follow - do not read if you don't want to know.* This is the 5th book in this series and I am curious why sometimes Shanna gives first-hand narration of some of the weddings and also some honeymoon details (appropriate, not graphic) on a few of the characters, but not all of them? It was not first person for Trent and Lindsay (very disappointed with that) and now the same for Brice and Bailey. I had to wait until this book for Bailey and Brice's wedding and particularly considering Bailey's personality, etc., those details seemed to be particularly important. As a nurse (and I know, I know, this is a fiction book, but hard not to notice this), I was puzzled how Lindsay was able to get pregnant considering she is a marathon runner and they almost without exception stop cycling and typically have fertility issues. Being sick for so long made no sense, either and placenta previa would not explain that. Ok, had to say that, sorry, it's in my RN DNA. I also couldn't believe that Hart would just let Denni run into the house after they got married! There is NO WAY a traditional gentleman cowboy should not carry his bride over the threshold?? Hello?? As always, couldn't put the book down once I started it and thoroughly enjoyed it
While the story is entertaining and easily readable, I'm beginning to think this family is severely dysfunctional. Denni is the definition of helicopter parent. She moved an hour away leaving her sons on their own and yet by this, the fourth in the series, she has her hand and nose into everything that is going on. Without spoiling the plot, she seems more than willing to make Hart miserable (Herself also in the process, but that is her doing and problem) and wants to micro manage being there for all the children and grand children even when it isn't necessary or feasible. I guess I see the family as being multi flawed which takes away the enjoyment of the series,
I'm going to assume that this is the last book in this series. We have read about the children of Denni. Now it's time to get Denni's story. Denni's husband died a few years ago. She has not been interested in loving again until she meets Hart. Hart is a rich man who has great qualities, but he has never had a family. This is the story of them falling in love. Denni does some stupid things in this book, but I 'm going to cut her some slack since she is battling with her feelings of losing her husband. She doesn't feel as if she should continue with her love life because she loved her late husband so much. I would have liked to have seen an epilogue that tied up all of the other couples and how their future went. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
This is a very engaging contemporary western romance. The lovely 50-something widowed mother of the loving, funny Thompson clan finds love again with a successful dashing 50-something cowboy who is also ready for a mended heart. This is a great read.
I really loved this last book in the series as much as the first four books. I loved getting to know the Thompson and Morgan clan. This book kept me laughing like the others. So enjoyed Bailey and Brice's wedding. Since I'm in my 50's I really enjoyed Denni and Hart's story. I really enjoyed Denni being so sassy and fun, yet worried about moving on. Both Denni and Hart are recovering from broken hearts. Before they can move forward they have to let go of the past. If you enjoy a good clean western romance, that makes you laugh and smile, and full of excitement, you will really love this book. I just wish there was another book in this series. I fell in love with the Thompson and Morgan families. They forgot to marry off Ben!
