Home on the Ranch

1996 Janet Dailey Award finalist

"Margot Early's stories pack a powerful punch. She writes with warmth, wit and emotional depth. A sheer pleasure."—Debbie Macomber

The Kay Ranch near Alta, Colorado

Erin Mackenzie considers herself a candidate for the Dumped by Cowboys Hall of Fame. Especially since she was stood up by rodeo cowboy Abe Cockburn, the father of her baby daughter, Maeve.

And then there's another cowboy—Erin's own father, rancher Kid Kay, whom she's never even met. Who's never acknowledged her.

Erin makes a risky choice: she goes to Colorado to tell Abe about his daughter. And to tell Kip about his.

She goes to Colorado to find the truth about cowboys—and about fathers.

"Truly endearing. Truly engaging. Emotional intensity and poignant honestly flow from every page… Full of irresistible passages you'll want to read out loud, The Truth About Cowboys is a book to be remembered and read again and again."

—Laura DeVries, aka Laura Gordon, author of Spencer's Bride and Promise Me

This review is from: The Truth about Cowboys (Home on the Ranch / Harlequin SuperRomance, No. 743) (Paperback)

For anyone who's always loved a father you've never met... For anyone who's ever loved a cowboy, and lost...For anyone who's ever been hurt by all of the above. Margot Early beautifully depicts a story as old as time. Erin is a young woman who is bound and determined not to let another cowboy hurt her ever again. Her father, Kip Kay, a Colorado rancher, left shortly after Erin was born and she'll never let a cowboy close again. Or so she swears. As a belated birthday present, she "gives" herself a night of passion with a rodeo clown, Abe, and again is heartbroken after he fails to meet her weeks later. After giving birth to Abe's child and losing her mother in a tragic accident, she decides to ge to Colorado to confront her father. Little does she know that Abe is engaged to her half-sister... Margot Early has perfectly written about the proud, silent, faithful, brave, and diminishing species of man, The Cowboy...For any one who has ever known a real cowboy or wants to, READ THIS BOOK!!

This review is from: The Truth about Cowboys (Home on the Ranch / Harlequin SuperRomance, No. 743) (Paperback)

Margot Early captures The Truth About Cowboys devastatingly accurate in this novel. The main characters were real, had real-life issues to deal with, showed tender emotions and shared things with each other that other romance novel characters shy away from. Once you start, you won't be able to put it down!
