#AD Book Review: The Cowboy Next Door by Trish Milburn

  Claire Moon moved to a small Montana ranch after being severely burned in a fire. A jeweller by trade she conducts her business mostly on lot and avoids social interaction.  Her solitude is threatened when a young calf escapes from a nearby ranch, jumps her fence and has to be caught by its owner. Cowboy Wes McQueen feels guilty that his cattle has damaged next door’s property, especially as it is his fault. He goes around to apologise and Claire is unable to avoid meeting him. She is reticent and retiring but he is determined  to make amends for the damage and a tentative friendship is formed. Slowly this friendship develops into more but Claire is still unsure about reentering society. Wes, however, is determined to help her rejoin society.

An enjoyable read that explosion how injuries can make people change and sink into themselves as a coping mechanism. Both characters are likeable and the puppy angle is cute. 

I received this novel from Tule Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
