CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE


REVIEW: Aspen Creek, Colorado, is the place to be when it comes to finding love. THE COWBOY WHO CAME HOME is Book #4 of Aspen Creek Bachelors penned by the queen of small-town contemporary romances, Kathy Douglass, features Veronica Kendricks and Malcolm Wilson. Malcolm, who grew up in Aspen Creek, has been living and working in Chicago, while Veronica has been living in Aspen Creek and working as a children’s librarian. Malcolm and Veronica have a history that goes back to their childhood. In this story, you will discover what caused the rift in their relationship. That rift was devastating, and Malcolm knows he messed up really bad.

When the story begins, Malcolm is back in Aspen Creek for two reasons. First, he is there to help his father, who has some health issues, run the family ranch, and second, he is there to restore his friendship with Veronica. Working the ranch will prove to be easier than reestablishing a relationship with Veronica. In spite of being a successful investment banker, Malcolm never lost his love for ranching nor his love for Veronica. Veronica seems perfectly content managing her duties as a librarian and not having Malcolm in her life. I loved how their relationship thawed and then caught fire. That trip to Chicago was everything! You’ll get that when you read the story.

The minor characters are composed of family and friends of the hero and heroine. They all play a role in the intrigue of the story and the development of the main characters. Veronica and Malcolm’s HFN prove that they are meant to be together.
I am a fan of second-chance romance stories.
THE COWBOY WHO CAME HOME is now added to my list of favorites. I recommend it for your reading pleasure.
