Eve Gaddy (Author)

Book Description

Series: Superromance, 903 | Publication Date: March 1, 2000

"Anna Connor knows what kind of man Jake Rollins is. He's the sexy cowboy kind who'll break your heart when he calls you up to tell you he's married someone else. And she knows because that's exactly what Jake did to her sixteen years ago, giving her no choice but to marry Jake's best friend. After all, her baby deserved a father, even if Jake was too irresponsible to fill the role. Now Jake's back in Happy Texas demanding to know why Anna never told him just what he was leaving behind their daughter. How can she explain that she hadn't meant to hurt him? That she'd done what she thought best? or even after all these years (and even though she still loves him) she can't admit the truth. Because doing so would only hurt their daughter." This is from the back cover of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story by Eve Gaddy, March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cowboy Come Home: Home on the Ranch (Harlequin Superromance No. 903) (Paperback)

I've read all of award-winning Texan author Eve Gaddy's novels and am happy to report she's writing better than ever for Superromance. Cowboy Come Home is a sharp, fast-paced tale (with the best opening line I've read in a while!) about a sexy rodeo star hero and the once-burned, twice-shy woman he very much regrets leaving behind---and oh, yes, the rodeo-hungry daughter he didn't know he had. If you like three-dimensional characters, a believable conflict, sizzling sexual tension, and a Texas-as-Texas-can-be setting, you'll love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best contemporaries that I've read in a long time, April 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cowboy Come Home: Home on the Ranch (Harlequin Superromance No. 903) (Paperback)

I think that what made this book as good as it is is that in this story of love lost and re-found the wishes of the third person - the daughter of Jake and Anna, about whom he never knew - center strongly in the resolution of this satisfying romance. Jake and Anna are sympathetic, well-drawn characters, and the reader likes them even more for both caring so much for their daughter that they are willing to lose each other again so as not to hurt her. Even as they come to terms with their past and look toward the future, they can never forget about the young woman whose life is intertwined with theirs.

I was quite pleased with this touching book, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

4.0 out of 5 stars More true than most romance novels..., January 9, 2001

I really like this book. I found the characters believable and moving and their motivations realistic. Some of the plot devices were somewhat mechanical, but the characters and the chemistry between them more than made up for some of the shortcomings of the genre. This is an honest, romantic story about trying to do the right things and trying to find happiness in a complex, adult world as well.
