Review: Sweet cowboy romance; easy and light but it felt good

This freebie was a pleasant surprise. Sweet, easy, not too complicated or angsty, it's a pretty simple road to romance, but it felt good to read. The sex is not overly erotic. Instead, it felt more sensual and caring in nature, still sexy but more about the feelings and about being intimate. I enjoyed reading those scenes. Thought they added to the story in a good way. Just enough steam to please me personally. The hero is a genuine cowboy sort: caring, gentle, family-oriented, respectful, and darn sexy with that soft-center of his. Really, both h/H are very likeable. They felt like real, everyday people who were ready for love and ready to take a chance on it.The interaction between h/H was sweet, and I think this was helped by some good, easy dialogue the author had going on. It is a kind of instant attraction here, and considering the story is a quick read, the love does happen soon, but I did believe in the connection these two characters had with each other. I do wish the story had had an epilogue, though. I think that would have just cinched it up for me. If you're partial to sweet, easy-going cowboys and  if you like western romances, I think you'll like this one. It's part of the Stampede Sizzlers series, but I think this can be read as a standalone, which is how I read it. I'm not very familiar with the series, but that didn't hurt my enjoyment here.
