Review
I would like to thank Redbud Press for sending me a copy to review. Here is my honest review.
I utterly adored this book. It is a formulaic romance and I enjoy those types of books, typically giving them a three star rating (I liked them, but they didn't stick with me). I gave Secondhand Cowboy four stars, I enjoyed it that much!
This book had so many elements that I enjoy in a romance: cute cowboy, rowdy boys (in the form of toddler triplets who stole my heart right along with Iris'), a second chance at love, and a small town. I really enjoyed the theme of forgiveness that Williams weaves into the story. Callum was convinced that he wasn't worthy of Iris' forgiveness yet she gave it so easily. I loved that she took time to reflect on what he meant to her and fought for him.
Since this is a formulaic romance, there are no big surprises, a guaranteed happy ending and it won't cure a world problem; it did however, put a smile on my face and leave me with a warm fuzzy feelings throughout.
I really, really hope that Williams writes stories for Jilly and the dress shop owner. Sam. And even Mike, who is already married but I have a feeling there's a story there as well.
I gave this book: ★★★★
★ = I did not like it ★★ = It was okay ★★★ = I liked it
★★★★ = I really liked it ★★★★★ = I loved it

Visit Lacy Williams website to learn more about books she has written. I joined her mailing list; I definitely will be looking at past books she has written and look forward to reading her new works as well.
Kissed By A Cowboy, a novella by Lacy Williams is currently offered for free at Amazon(paired with another Redbud Press book). As I was looking up other works by Williams, I noticed she had a story (which happens to be Kissed by a Cowboy) in the First Kisses anthology which I reviewed last year; I looked it us and that just happened to be my favorite in the anthology. I love it when I think I've found a new author whose work I enjoyed only to realize that I actually had read their work before.
