Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 25, 2014
Parker Kincade creates another sexy cowboy with staying power in her latest book in the Shadow Maverick Ranch series. Paxton "Pax" Mathis is a mans-man and a cowboy that will make you sigh and drool. He is rough around the edges and growly. But totally sexy and lovable, too.Borrowed Cowboy is a sexy bite of a story that packs a punch. Pax is a sexy cowboy who has dealt a pretty serious blow to his ego when he catches his wife in the throes of a tryst with not one but TWO cowboys. After his divorce from her, Pax pretty much closes his heart off to the possibility of love. He's all in for the physical but vows that no woman will ever have his heart. Well, little did he know that his heart back to him in the form of Reese Jameson. Reese was Pax's first love but their love was snuffed out in its infancy because of a tragedy that involved Pax's best friend. Feeling guilt because of "her role" in the tragedy, Reese leaves her heart and her life in Texas. A decade separates the couple and feelings of loss for what could have been plague them both -- especially Reese. However, Reese has a chance to make things right with Pax. Fate brought Reese and Pax together through via a wedding. Reese is now a meeting planner and is planning Gavin and Lauren's wedding, from White Collar Cowboy. The connection between the couple sparks immediately and before you know they are...well...back in the "saddle" again. Although Pax is gun shy because of his experiences with his ex, he gives his relationship with Reese a fighting chance. But, there relationship is in peril of ending before it gains strength when someone from Reese's life tries to come between them. But man...oh man...I love how Pax handled that situation. He totally could have written Reese off. And, honestly, I was afraid he would have because of how he responded. But, I love how neither he nor Reese were willing to let their relationship die. They were so cute together and they burned up the pages of my Kindle. I loved Gavin but I gotta say that Pax is now my new favorite Mathis brother.The stories in this series just keep getting better and I so appreciate the bite sized morsels of sexiness that Kincade delivers with each one.
