A Cowboy of Legend

I enjoyed this book. To start I found myself very intrigued by the storyline of this book. It created an interesting twist that I thought was fresh and entertaining. Grace and Deacon were quite likable and I thought they made a good couple. There are lots of secrets, drama, emotions, excitement and action to be had as the story unfolds. Probably my favorite thing about this book was that the author somehow managed to have me feeling like I needed to support both of these characters and their very much opposing wants. I could truly understand and feel for them and that made me fiercely invested in this duo. This is my unsolicited, unbiased review.

The first book in the Lone Star Legends series a well written western story with a very good storyline. I enjoyed seeing this enemies to lovers story get a happy ending, this is Deacon Brannock and Grace Legend a woman against alcohol after her husband murdered her best friend. I want to read more in this series. I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the complimentary electronic copy of A Cowboy of Legend by Linda Broday. I voluntarily agreed to read and review this book prior to publication. My opinions are my own and nothing has influenced my rating. A Cowboy of Legend is a well written western historical romance with endearing characters and an emotionally charged plot. The pacing pulled me in from the first page to the last and kept me enmeshed throughout the story. Some of the secondary characters stole my heart and added greatly to my enjoyment. Grace Legend is the heroine in this tale. She’s not the typical historical character, but that didn’t bother me in the least. She’s feisty, determined and yet sweet and feminine. I quickly fell in love with her and her genuine desire to help others. Deacon Brannock is a great hero with many of the characteristics I most enjoy. While his past could have made him cynical, he doesn’t let it bring him down. He has goals and is determined to rise above his past. The romance between Grace and Deacon touched my heart, and I truly wanted them to find their happy ending. While I don’t usually enjoy enemies to lovers romances, Ms. Broday managed to keep them from being too confrontational, so I enjoyed that aspect of the story. If you enjoy western romances with characters who will grab your heart and not let go, then you will love A Cowboy of Legend as much as I did. This novel sets the pace for another great series, and I can’t read the next one. Happy reading!
