Times bestselling author Donna Grant takes you deep inside the Texas rodeo
scene, where danger and desire ride side by side. . .
Naomi Pierce isn’t the type to let a cowboy sweep her off feet. It’s not her
first rodeo, after all. But when she returns to her Texas hometown, she can’t
help but be swept up again in the rough-and-tumble world of hard-riding,
bronco-busting good-ol’-boys she loved as a girl. She might be here to
photograph her Rodeo Queen best friend. But it’s one fine-looking cowboy who
really captures her eye…
Brice Harper is all man, all muscle, and all heart. From the moment he rides
into the stadium, he can’t help but notice the beautiful stranger with a camera
watching him from the stands. It doesn’t take a zoom lens to see the sparks of
instant attraction. But things really heat up when he meets Naomi up-close–and
he discovers that someone is stalking her friend. Brice wouldn’t be any kind of
cowboy if he didn’t offer to help the ladies out. But can the rough rider keep
this spirited shutterbug out of danger–without risking his heart?

My Review:
who has been visiting my blog regularly knows that I love a good cowboy story. So
when I finished reading my previous book, and received an email about a review
request of ‘Cowboy, Cross My Heart’ I couldn’t resist and started reading. I
was definitely in need of a nice cowboy filled romance novel.
‘Cowboy, Cross My Heart’ we meet Naomi Pierce. Naomi visits her old hometown in
Texas after being away for a long time. Naomi is visiting her best friend, the
rodeo queen, when a handsome cowboy
captures her eyes. When Naomi and her friend Whitney get attacked the handsome
cowboy Brice Harper can’t stand back and comes to their rescue. But
unfortunately it doesn’t stay with one attack. Soon Naomi and Brice are forced
to hide and make plans to find there attacker. And although it starts getting
more dangerous, they also can’t deny the chemistry between them.
Cross My Heart’ is a nice romance and suspense story. It’s not a very hard to
follow story, and there are definitely some very predictable moments. The
writing was very descriptive, and I found myself finding the story moving in a,
sometimes to fast, pace. One moment Naomi and Brice see each other for the
first time. The second, Brice is very protective of Naomi and acts like he is
already in love with her.
doesn’t mean I didn’t like the story. I enjoyed reading it. I like the main
characters Naomi and Brice and I enjoyed reading about their romance. But I
definitely missed the ‘build-up’ romance part. It just moved way to fast and I
just didn’t really believe there romance as much since I felt like it just
happened in a second. Brice is immediately very protective of Naomi, and his
friends and family can see immediately that there is something going on.
suspense part was definitely fun to read. But also very disturbing and in the
end it came to a conclusion unexpectedly fast. This also just felt to rushed to
me. This story just had more potential if you ask me.
enjoyed the read and the author was able to make me want to keep on reading.
But there was a lot that could have been a little better if you ask me.
