Vance Wolf is at the end of his rope. Six months ago he buried his father after he died of a massive heart attack brought on by the stress of being harssed by Andrew Blackwell, the new owner of Sweet Meadow Ranch, the spread next door to Wolf Creek. The barn had to be replaced after the first one burned to the ground under mysterious circumstances, and Vance’s cattle are disappearing faster than he can replace them. With Blackwell’s cash lining the pockets of the local law, Vance is on his own. His mother suggests that they open the ranch to business people as a cowboy camp. Adam Prentiss has come to Wolf Creek along with the four men in his department as a team-building exercise. Sent by his father to investigate the financial status of the ranch and report back to him, Adam finds himself attracted to Vance. Torn between hiding who he really is, and obeying his father’s orders, or telling Vance everything, and risk losing their relationship.New York Cowboy by Lisa Worrall is a character driven tale that showcases what can happen when a ruthless businessman tries to drive a man off the ranch that has been in his family for generations. With a smooth plot flow, and characters who are vividly complex, and three dimensional, Lisa has given us a unique twist on the classic “good vs evil” storyline. The highly informative backstory fills in any gaps and answers any questions as to how the characters came to this time and place. The author’s writing style is simple, concise, and eloquent, displaying an intimate knowledge of how a ranch is run, and just how thin a margin so many ranchers face while trying to make a living. The land is wild, the cowboys are hot, and the sex is even hotter! I really enjoyed reading the story, and if you want a read that is anything but boring, then this is the book for you.
