Publisher's Summary:

"I'd apologize for kissing you, but I'm not all that sorry."

Dancer Melanie Brooks had escaped small-town Oklahoma, giving up the country for Broadway's bright lights. Yet after her mother's funeral called her back, her own health issues forced her to stay. Now her tenant, too-hot-for-his-own-good Adam Benson, is giving her a reason to dance again. But has a killer set his sights on her, too?

Adam knows a little something about fresh starts. As for his beautiful neighbor, he doesn't see a wheelchair - he sees a woman who understands. But as the heat grows between them, he can't avoid the feeling that more than her big-city past haunts her - and that danger has been lurking, waiting to strike....

Cowboy with a Cause: Book 3 in the Cowboy Cafe Series

***Full review at Gin's Book Notes .com***

I thought the book was okay. The author did a good job of filling in the background details for those of us who may have missed the first two books.

Both of the main characters are learning how to start over and they struggle with the differing perspectives they have about life. I think the characters are genuine and exhibit emotions that many of us would feel if faced with similar circumstances.

The mystery/suspense part of the book was interesting and kept me guessing for most of the story. One mystery gets resolved but at the end a killer is still on the lose in Grady Gulch. I am curious to find out who is killing the waitresses of Cowboy Cafe so I plan to read the final book in the Cowboy Cafe Series: Confessing to the Cowboy.

Adam and Melanie

For me, this book started out okay. Melanie had returned home to care for her dying mother, and ended up staying when peripheral neuropathy put her in a wheelchair, nixing plans to go back to NYC and her career as a dancer. To pay back taxes on her home, she takes in a boarder, Adam, a local rancher who has decided to give his brother more space and privacy at the ranchhouse for his new family. As the story progresses, with Adam's support and encouragement, Melanie begins to come out of her withdrawal and to become more independent. At the same time a stalker tries to convince her she is losing her mind. Two women in the small town have been murdered in the last few months, and it looks like the murderer has Melanie in his sights. This is a okay one time read, but won't be going on my reread list.

Can You Say Self-Pity

I guess I shouldn't have expected too much. It was free. I found Cowboy with a Cause to be nothing more than 280 pages of a whiney woman so full of self-pity that I was cheering for the villain. Melanie was the perfect prima donna. Get over yourself already. Adam didn't help matters. Yes we got it. He loved Melanie. He wanted to be with her. The whining of both of them repeated over and over.

However predictable the ending was, it stopped so abruptly that I thought perhaps the entire book wasn't downloaded. Really I had to suffer through the whining and self-pity, the least Ms.
