Brush Creek Cowboy: Christian Contemporary Western Romance (Brush Creek Cowboys Romance series Book 1)

This is a short Christian romance. It was an ok read. Any time I finish a book I need to give it more then just one or two stars, but this was leaning to the 2 stars. It held my interest enough for me to finish. This story felt like someone went threw a full length novel and pulled out all the filler and just gave you the bare bones of the story. It just had huge gaps and one chapter would end and you would be a week later of a month later. When you are writing a romance what is happening in that time and the development of a love story is important. I just needed more with this. It didn't feel complete......and I just didn't invest. Very clean, talk of religion.

Tess lost her husband a few years ago and took her son and moved to Brush Creek. She has also had breast cancer and is now in remission. Walker Thompson's also lost his wife from a car accident. He and his son live on Brush Creek Horse Ranch where is a the foreman. Together they have ran the cotton candy stand during Heritage Days. Both are very good friends and neither want to take it to the next level. Both are reluctant to share their hearts again, and with Tess already having had to deal with cancer, is this a chance either of them want to make. This is was the most tender, realistic, touching story. A story of leaning on one's faith and letting God drive the bus. I would recommend this wonderful story to all.**I was given this free copy and this is my honest review**

Tess lost her husband a few years before and moved to the small town with her young son. Tragically she then had breast cancer, treatments and is now in remission.

Wow! This book had me reeling! My emotions were all over the place. I so loved this story. Walker and Tess finally get together after losing our spouses (both in accidents). Then add to it, Tess has breast cancer. Oh my. This is a quick read (thank goodness as I cried buckets!)This story contained by favorite dual POVs. It really helps me to understand the characters. Especially in this story of loss and possible future loss. The characters seemed so real. The plot flowed so smoothly. It was like a movie played in my mind. I was sad to see the words, The End!!!! I highly recommend this story to anyone!!!

Walker Thompson is the foreman for a ranch in Utah. He lives there with his nine-year-old son Michael. Walker has been a widower for six years, since his beloved wife Libby died from cancer.Walker regularly does volunteer work with Tess Wagner, a widow whose husband died in a work accident. She moved to the area with her now seven-year-old son Graham after her husband’s death and her own fight with breast cancer.Walker and Tess like each other as friends, they enjoy working together as volunteers, and their boys are good friends. Both lost spouses they dearly loved. It would seem almost inevitable that they might develop a relationship, but that hasn’t happened. Until now.“Brush Creek Cowboy” by Liz Isaacson is the story of Walker and Tess, how they kindle a relationship, how it goes awry, and how it might come back together again. Walker carries a lot of baggage about the death of his first wife, and he is almost single-mindedly focused on raising his son.Isaacson is the author of numerous western romance stories, many set in Utah and published as series. These include the Three Rivers Ranch series, the Horseshoe Home Ranch series, the Grape Seed Falls series, the Brush Creek series, the Steeple Ridge series, and several others. She also publishes the Possession series under the pen name Elana Johnson.“Brush Creek Cowboy” is novella in length and serves as the introduction to the Brush Creek series. It could easily have been a longer story; events happen very quickly to keep the short form romance moving. And it doesn’t end the way the reader might have expected. It’s a happy ending story, but it gets there only after several unexpected turns.

I enjoyed reading this book it kept my interest from page one to the last.Looking forward to reading more of her book's.
