Ex-Rodeo Cowboy Taggart Jones played an important part in 'Cowboys Stay' another Code of the West book about the story of Noah. Taggart was Noah's rodeo traveling partner until they both ended up in a really bad car accident that almost killed them. Taggart realized that being around for his daughter Becky was more important than being on the road, so he left the rodeo. Noah and Taggart opened a rodeo school. Taggart thinks that he and Becky are doing just fine. Becky, on the other hand, thinks that her dad needs a woman. Taggart was burned once before by Becky's mom, who eventually left them both, so he has no desire to marry again. Becky thinks that her teacher-Felicity would be perfect wife and mother material. Becky, with the help of her friends set out to get Felicity and Taggart together. The process and the results are both funny and heart warming. I enjoyed this book and the strong characters involved. The best part were the women-they were portrayed as strong and showed a lot of guts. A perfect addition to the Code of the West series.

#4 in the Code of the West series.

McAllister amazes me. She can really set a scene, whether it's the glitzy jet set in New York City or the small town western in Montana. And her characters are equally vivid and easy to care about. This romance between a widowed school teacher and a divorced cowboy is a perfect example. Rodeo is not something that interests me, but in reading this, I was completely engrossed. I was actually tense at the end, right there with Felicity as she struggled through. I felt like I took the class, too.

There are no plot twists, and the tone is quiet. But there were lots of secondary characters lending support. And there was plenty of humor, in the first half of the book, at least.

Enjoy.
