The Cowboy

I love stories of men who won't give up on the women they love. And this book was it! I loved it when Rafe put Maggie in a situation where she couldn't get out of and that, of course, put Rafe in close contact with Maggie!

"The Cowboy" (book three of three, after "The Pirate" and "The Adventurer") is the best of this five-star trilogy. If you're planning to buy one, you might as well buy all three and read them in order. As is the case with the other 2 books in this short story series, the hero in "The Cowboy" can be exasperatingly alpha at times, but he makes amends well enough to the heroine and some how Krentz - as usual - pulls it off wonderfully. I wanted this last story to go on and on well after the 246 pages were done!

This was my first Jayne Krentz book and I loved it. It was great to have a book about people in a real relationship who had some real problems. Rafe's determination to win Maggie back was charming and refreshing. It was nice to see two characters having heart to heart talks about their problems as well as some steamy romance.

I loved this entire series. Each one was different yet fit together so perfectly. "The Pirate" was fun and adventurous; "The Adventurer" was pure toe-curling romance; and "The Cowboy" was a tightly woven story with a REAL relationship issue. What a wonderful conclusion to the series.
