A COWBOY’S TOUCH by Denise Hunter is my kind of book. It had a great story, good characters, and the right amount of romantic tension to keep you turning page after page.
Abigail Jones is an investigative reporter who happens to be a workaholic. When her mother/boss puts her on a three month leave of absence to get her hypertension under control, Abigail ends up in Moose Creek, Montana with her aging Aunt. With intentions of watching her Aunt for early signs of dementia, she soon finds herself accepting the position of Nanny for Maddy, her Aunt’s neighbor and the daughter of one good-looking cowboy. When Abigail finds out he’s a celebrity in hiding, she feels she’s found the perfect story to help buoy her mother’s failing magazine.
Wade Ryan wants nothing more than to raise his daughter on his Montana ranch away for the lights and the glitz of his former life. Losing his wife upended his world and so he’s had to create a new one for Maddy and himself. When he hires Abigail as Maddy’s nanny, sparks fly, but he is quick to douse the embers before they ignite . . . or so he thinks.
Abigail must choose. Either she can help her mother’s magazine with an expose on Wade, and why it is he disappeared after his wife’s death, or she can love the man she has fallen for and put her investigative story to rest.
I really enjoyed A COWBOY’S TOUCH. The story had good pacing and the characters were well fleshed out. I don’t like books that keep the heroine and hero at arms length until the last page, so I appreciated the romantic tension. And of course, I am a sucker for boots, a Stetson, and a Southern drawl.
