Ok, so in between reading true crime - I like to sit back with something that is easy on the mind. Lonesome Cowboy was just that however, there was no resolution to a big part of the story. Fourteen year old Mack Paxton answers a looking for love ad from handsome cowboy Rand Harding, pretending to be his 24 year old sister Suzanne. Then the troubled Mack runs off to Montana to work for Rand. Now Suzanne goes off to Montana to bring Mack back to Baltimore. But after seeing the handsome cowboy, sparks fly. While all this was going on someone is trying to sabotage the Kincaid ranch, but who? We never find out.

The Author had a great storyline and could have expanded it somewhat. Romance scenes and details of ranch life were great. Along the line there is a mystery causing destruction of property and death to animals. Part of the mystery is dealing with a potential explosion caused by dynamite. While the story is great, the person causing the problems is never discovered. The shadow of the person is written about as he stalks the ranch making problems but where is the "end" of it. Is there another book? The reason for the 3 stars is that the book is not finished. Enjoyed what was written and would read another book by Jackie Merritt but would hope there is a conclusion.
