REVIEW:A REAL COWBOY ALWAYS COMES HOME is the tenth and final instalment in Stephanie Rowe’s contemporary, adult WYOMING REBELS romance series focusing on the Stockton siblings. This is twenty-seven year old Caleb Stockton and thirty-five year old single mother Jenna Ward’s story line. A REAL COWBOY can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order.
Told from third person perspective A REAL COWBOY ALWAYS COMES HOME follows Caleb Stockton in the wake of an explosion and fire that has left our hero without any memory of who, how or why but for a young baby placed in arms as the world around him spiralled out of control. Having no idea as to what happened, Caleb ran, hiding in out of the way places, until arriving at a small cabin where he will meet and fall in love with single mother Jenna Ward, a woman whose own life has stalled without moving forward. When the local sheriff Dane Wilson ( A Real Cowboy for Christmas), begins an investigation into the discovery of two vehicles on the side of the road, does Caleb’s life begin to take shape and order. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Caleb and Jenna, and the potential fall-out as the past returns hoping to finish the job.
Jenna Ward is a widow; a single mother with a thirteen year old daughter who will quickly fall in love with the stranger in her cabin but Caleb has amnesia; doesn’t remember what happened or why, and with it comes the probability that someone is on the hunt for our hero and the baby he has been tasked for survival. Caleb’s life imploded at fourteen years of age, and by the time he turned seventeen Caleb ran from his family in an effort to survive but ten years would pass, and Caleb’s family has never stopped looking until a stranger gives shelter to their missing sibling.
The relationship between Caleb and Jenna is one of immediate attraction but Caleb’s amnesia is a threat to Jenna and her daughter, having no idea about what happened or why. Caleb suspects someones is trying to kill him and the baby, but without his memories, Caleb will be spending his life on the run. Jenna Ward and her daughter Gracie have been alone for close to two years but Jenna never thought she would meet her future in the guise of a stranger, a stranger with a baby he knows nothing about. From the outset, Jenna’s thirteen year old daughter Gracie sees Caleb as a promise for the future, a future that may be spent on the run. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several of Caleb’s siblings (Chase, Steen, Zane, Travis, Logan, Quintin) and their significant others as well as Brody Hart and Dane Wilson, as well as the introduced of Jenna’s daughter Gracie.
A REAL COWBOY ALWAYS COME FIRST is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; betrayal and vengeance, hope and loss. The premise is captivating; the romance is impassioned; the characters are charismatic and charming. My only problem is the quick resolution /revelation about the fire and explosion; the author barely alludes to the build up ,and the horrific past of the Stockton siblings is glossed over although fans and readers of the Wyoming Rebels will be well aware of what happened and why- I think an author should always include some background information as new readers may be at a loss as to what is happening and why. The WYOMING REBELS is a wonderful, heart breaking, emotional and satisfying series.
