Book Review: Arizona Cowboy by Jennifer Collins Johnson
Cowboy Holden Whitaker Believes in Second Chances
Holden has never stopped loving Ava Herbert, even though she disappeared just as he was ready to say “I do.” Now Ava is back as the town’s new physical therapist, and this time Holden will do anything to get her to stay.
As Holden seeks to renew their romance, Ava’s guilt grows. She’s never stopped thinking about her first love, but she has a secret that could destroy his feelings for her. When an injury lands the handsome rancher in her office, Ava can’t seem to resist his charms. If she can find the courage to share the truth, they may just have another go-round at happily-ever-after.
I really enjoyed Arizona Cowboy and was able to finish in one evening. Holden isn’t about to let Ava go a second time, but every time they are close, she runs. She’s got a secret that would change everything he feels about her, and the guilt and shame consume her. It’s a romance that is easy to keep turning the pages to as Holden is persistent but not overwhelming. Ava is vulnerable but not bitter.
I enjoyed the secondary characters as well. Holden’s dad, Aunt Irene, the colleagues at Ava’s job, Clyde…all wonderful full dimensional characters with their own stories to tell without overshadowing the hero and heroine.
I highly recommend you give Arizona Cowboy a chance. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
