The Cowboys Says Yes is the first book in the Rustlers Creek series and I have had this on my kindle for quite a while. I always get nervous when trying out new authors but I was also curious about this one and it was definitely not what i expected. But I did find it to be an enjoyable read even if it was a bit different than I thought it would be here. It’s always a new experience to enter a story that throws you for a loop and I will be honest that I didn’t even glance at the blurb. This is definitely not me at all, but I was so intrigued to see what Addison Fox would deliver with this one. I do love a marriage reconciliation type of romance, and yes it wasn’t quite what I was expecting it to be honest. I was relieved that the level of angst was actually pretty low. And we have a unique setup with a primary romance and a side story romance. I really found the dynamics interesting.
Our primary pairing is with Zack and Hadley. They are a married couple and haven’t been close in a long while. They suffered a loss of a child and with the focus of the cooking show that is featured in their home, they have let their career focuses lead them away from each other. But both Zack and Hadley have had enough of distance and fighting, and desire to repair their marriage and what they once had. We don’t see much angst, and that is not the norm in these types of scenarios so I was fascinated to see how this author would handle this and it really threw me for a loop to see this heroine be a star of a cooking show. I haven’t read this type of setup in a western and it kept me on my toes. The author definitely had me interested all the way through to see how their relationship would play out and if they would find any common ground like what they once had. There is a conflict of sorts, but it doesn’t really happen until the end of the story. It does surprise you though because you won’t see it coming but it also adds more depth to their relationship and seeing the various facets that are built throughout the story was a unique mix. I did love seeing the depths of emotion and connection that Zack and Hadley have for each other though. I will be honest in that this story was super challenging to rate and much of that is that I have mixed feelings on this one and what it delivered. I was intrigued all the way through by the romance, but I wasn’t automatically pulled into the story. I wanted to be more into this story but it didn’t quite get there for me even though I found the story to be interesting for this reader.
Overall I found The Cowboy Says Yes to be a warm and open romance that delves into matters of the heart in a unique way. It’s a story of healing, reconciliation, recovery, and embracing a changed relationship that is founded in life.
