Review: The Cowboy’s Texas Family by Margaret Daley

This sweet, romantic story is part of a continuity series, however it can easily be read as a stand alone. I am enjoying reading various books from this series and seeing how things come together.

Nick, Darcy, and Corey were all very likable main characters. The romance was sweet as it grew between Nick and Darcy. Their mutual care and love for the boy, Corey, was special. It was hard to read that Nick felt that he would be a bad father based on his upbringing. Watching him work through that was difficult.

I enjoyed reading about the way the ranch operated and watching as Nick and Darcy worked with Corey and some of the other boys there to help them in their individual circumstances. It was very interesting.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Rancher Nick McGarrett wants to help orphaned ten-year-old Corey Phillips, the brother of his late comrade. But he’s not fit to be a father—not with his troubled past. Thankfully, the child finds a home at the Lone Star Cowboy League Boys Ranch, where Nick volunteers. When wealthy newcomer Darcy Hill discovers she’s Corey’s cousin, she hopes to eventually take him in. Nick and Darcy couldn’t be more opposite—or more drawn to each other. But for Darcy, raising Corey in her hometown means leaving Texas…and Nick. It’ll take a special little boy to show these two grown-ups that the key to forging a new future is being together.
