Lost Rider - Quick Review

Idgie Says:
A very angsty romance novel about a man fighting so many different demons he can't see the possibilities in front of his face... and the woman who has loved him for years. 

No humor or lightheartedness - this is a regret filled story.

Description
Hang on to your Stetsons this spring, because you’re in for one wild ride! Lost Rider is the first Western romance in New York Times and USA TODAY indie bestselling author Harper Sloan’s Coming Home series, where an injured rodeo star encounters an old flame…but will she be just what he needs to get back in the saddle?

Maverick Austin Davis is forced to return home after a ten-year career as a rodeo star. After one too many head injuries, he’s off the circuit and in the horse farming business, something he’s never taken much of a shine to, but now that it’s his late father’s legacy, familial duty calls. How will Maverick find his way after the only dream he ever had for himself is over?

Enter Leighton Elizabeth James, an ugly duckling turned beauty from Maverick’s childhood—his younger sister’s best friend, to be exact, and someone whose heart he stomped all over when she confessed her crush to him ten years back. Now Leighton is back in Maverick’s life, no longer the insecure, love-stricken teen—and Maverick can’t help but take notice. Sparks fly between them, but will Leighton be able to open her heart to the one man who broke it all those years ago?

Lost Rider is the first go-round in this Texas-set series filled with sizzle, heart, and plenty of cowboys!
