REVIEW: Driftwood Cowboy by Lenora Worth

Driftwood Cowboy by Lenora Worth: Michelle Lancaster has been through a lot and honestly is at the end of her rope. How can life ever be normal again? Then she went riding into the ocean on her horse and saw him, Brodie Stevens. Brodie had his own history and his own secrets to keep but in each others eyes they saw sadness and despair that would bond them. However Michelle wasn’t ready to deal with people where Brodie knew he wanted more from Michelle. So with Brodie set to catch Michelle will the past matter? Or will a determined beach bum be able to overcome not only his past but her’s as well?

I’m not sure about this story. It’s incredibly well written but the subject matter can be painful and I’m not sure how I feel about Michelle as a character. It would be incredibly painful to go through what she has gone through, but I’m not sure that I am able to buy how “weak” she is and believe the turn around for her in the story. I think if there were more time to flush out the why’s maybe, but I’m just not sure. Brodie is a good guy but I’m not sure on him either. That said I loved the writing style, the speech and the variation between dialogue and narration was wonderful.
