Last Chance Cowboy

Catherine has got to be one of my favorite heroines of this series! (Although, how can I even say that when I’ve loved ALL of them so much?!) I was enthralled by all of the characters in this story. From charming, determined and regretful Dylan, to innocent, caring and insecure Catherine, to sweet little baby Austin. Even the stoic and faithful Stu and his helpful and motherly wife, Trudy! Add in all the rest of the McQuaid relatives and this cast of characters was phenomenal! But don’t let this stellar lineup of personalities fool you into thinking that they are the only thing worth picking up this book for. No! The storyline, too, was heartrending, hopeful, angsty and just plain awesome! No sooner would I put my book down to do “life”, than I found my eyes drifting back to that enticing cover and wishing I could hop right back into it! I had a seriously hard time putting this book down. No question about it, The Last Chance Cowboy was a five-star read and has solidified Author Jody Hedlund as a must-read author for me for future releases!

The Last Chance Cowboy was the perfect ending to this fabulous series! Jody Hedlund has created a lovely, engaging story with characters that you genuinely care about and want to cheer for. The plot moves at a good pace with enough action to keep things exciting, while also including some deep reflection and soul-searching that keep Dylan and Catherine developing throughout the story. The romance was swoon-worthy, and the bonds between a loving, supportive family was beautiful. Faith is an important aspect throughout the book, and I especially loved the themes of second chances, forgiveness of self, and God’s unconditional love for His children. “It’s amazing when He begins to fit all the shattered pieces back together and makes something better than we could have imagined.” This is one of favorite series and I am sad to say goodbye to the McQuaid Family. It’s been a lovely journey! Many thanks to the author and Bethany House Publishing for a gifted copy. All opinions are completely my own.
