Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Kelsey Roberts shifts from her Rose Tattoo series to her new Landry Brothers with "Wanted: Cowboy."Advertising executive Barbara Prather has decided to host a party for a prospective advertising client inhopes of getting his business. There doesn't seem to be much chance ofthat when the guest of honor is murdered in the middle of it.As the onlywitness, the police are concerned her life is in danger.Against her will,rancher Cade Landry carries her off to his Montana ranch to protect her. Cade really makes Barbara's blood boil.Too bad it looks like she'll haveto depend on him, especially when his ranch turns out to be less safe thanthey imagined.
I never know what to expect from Kelsey Roberts, whosebooks can strike me as excellent ("His Only Son"), atrocious("Her Mother's Arms") or somewhere in between("Unforgettable Night").I put off reading "Wanted:Cowboy" for nearly a year because of that uncertainty.It was wellworth the wait.In terms of the story, this is the author at her best.
Imay be alone in thinking that Rose planning an Elvis-themed party forBarbara's presentation was more thoughtless than amusing, regardless of theend result.For me, the first chapter was grating.In general, though,the humor and fast dialogue that makes her books unique are in place.Whatmoves it to another level though, is the strength of the mystery and theromance.The mystery is successful and the ending so surprising because Roberts drops clues in a clever way that doesn't seem like they're relevantto the mystery.Unlike some books where I instantly spot relevantinformation, "Wanted: Cowboy" is expertly crafted.I may haveguessed who the villain was, but not the motive.I love it when a book cancatch me off guard.This was one of them.
I also enjoyed the way therelationship between Barbara and Cade's teenage daughter was developed. Barbara was a very strong romance heroine in general, Jess was a nicelyportrayed, realistic teenage character, and the way all the relationshipsbuilt and grew was well done.A sexy romance, plenty of suspense and astrong mystery make this one of Roberts' best.An excellent book.
