Review: Beginning is best.

The Texas Cowboy by Katheryn Lane has such a unique way of introducing the two characters to each other. Vicky sees what she thinks is a real cowboy so she snaps his picture. He notices what she has done and come over to introduce himself. I loved that. Really a great beginning! I also liked the attraction but reluctance to get involved with each other that continued to be played between Vicky and Jack.However, I didn’t like some parts so much. Her cousin, Laura never manages to rise above being a shallow materialistic person. David is the perfect husband for someone like Laura but I kept wondering why he married her. Jack and Vicky were likable but both were needy with neither able to take charge of their own lives without help. Carly was called Jack’s ex but in reality, they were still married and he knew that. This one fact bothered me a lot, why hadn’t he had least filed for divorced before “moving on”? Lastly, the ending was so abrupt; it really needed to be developed. She misses a plane with no more money to buy another ticket and all is still well. I so didn’t understand this ending at all.Overall, it has one of the best this-is-how-we-met for a romance novel but does not hold strong throughout the rest of the story.Copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
