COULDA BEEN A COWBOY
Brenda Novak
Harlequin Super Romance
June 2007
978-0-373-71422-3
Paperback
Contemporary Romance

 

Tyson Garnier has become a single parent to an infant he has no idea how to care for, and is scared to try his hand at parenthood.  When he finds out his ex-girlfriend is leaving their son alone and is neglecting him, he steps in and does what he know is right by buying her off and taking sole custody.  He however knows he needs a nanny and set out to find one. 

Dakota Brown comes recommended, and when he realizes she is a plain, no nonsense kind of woman, he decides she is right for the job.  Because she does not fall on her face meeting the famous football player, Tyson feels safe in leaving his son in her care.  Dakota cannot understand his lack of emotion over the baby, but decides to try her hand at being the nanny because the money is right and she needs financial help for her father. 

Tyson may be a famous athlete but what he has going for him is his vulnerability.  When he finds himself a single father he becomes the man every woman wants to meet.  He is sweet, caring, and full of inner strength.  He admits to his mistakes in the past and is ready to make amends by caring for his son, and giving him a safe, happy life. 

Dakota is the perfect heroine to back up Tyson.  She is strong yet needy and while she supports Tyson, he also holds her up in her time of need.  They enable each other to grow and make a great couple.  These was not a scene in COULDA BEEN A COWBOY that this reviewer would have changed, Brenda Novak is a talented author who writes emotional tales that fill a place in reader’s hearts. 

Brenda Novak has once again transported readers back to Dundee, Idaho where dreams can come true.  This fictional town has enough danger, spice, and love to make any reader fall in love.  Ms. Novak has created a series of novels set in a town that makes her novels fall under this reader’s auto buy list.   COULDA BEEN A COWBOY is no exception and lived up to this reader’s high expectations, not many authors can keep five star ratings but Brenda Novak is an author to be counted on.
