COWBOY is not your run of the mill romance.Beth McCasland is a widow with a daughter and a dead end job at a small town diner, barely making ends meet.Ashton “Timothy” Raines is a country singer at the top of his career, but feeling as if he’s at the end of his rope.When Timothy stumbles into Beth’s diner on the brink of wanting to end it all, she sees his desperation and tries to offer a friendly smile and a listening ear.What follows is a most unorthodox relationship.
With an intriguing premise, Staci Stallings creates a relationship between two characters even though they’ve only had one brief encounter and are hundreds of miles away from each other.Timothy and Beth’s relationship grows through a series of phone calls. He calls her, needing to feel a connection to someone who isn’t interested in him for who he is, and Beth looks forward to her late night phone calls from Timothy at the end of every day.
Beth and Timothy are two people from different ends of the spectrum.Beth has no idea as she offers simple advice and encouragement to this wayward traveler, that he is hiding his true self from her.And the more Timothy comes to rely on her, he realizes he has to explain to her who he is, but never seems to find the right words.All he knows is he is falling in love with the woman on the other end of the line.
I found myself reading page after page, not wanting to put the book down until I knew Beth and Timothy were safely together.As obstacles present themselves, Beth and Timothy have to decide if they have what it takes to make this relationship work, or if it was just a passing thing they will look back on with fondness.COWBOY is a wonderful read that was recommended to me by one of my readers, and I, in turn, recommend it as well.♥
