This book gave me:
🤠 A wounded cowboy hero with emotional baggage
💔 A widow heroine who feels exhausted, guarded, and real
🔥 Attraction tangled up with grief, mistrust, and need
🛠 A protector MMC who shows love through action
🌾 Small-town Texas vibes with a thread of danger underneath
The Plot
Jason Reed, a former Marine who survived devastating injuries, arrives in Last Chance, Texas, to honor a promise to a fallen comrade. He plans to check on Natalie Luna, the man’s widow, and leave. Natalie is raising her spirited son, juggling two jobs, and has no room in her life for a charming drifter, even one who can fix half her problems with his hands. As attraction builds between them, Jason’s protective instincts kick in when Natalie faces a dangerous suitor. The problem is that Jason is carrying secrets of his own, and trust is not exactly easy when desire shows up wrapped in unfinished grief.
My Breakdown
I genuinely do not understand why more people aren’t talking about this book. As of now, Cowboy’s Last Stand has only 51 Goodreads ratings, which feels absurdly low for a romance by Jill Sorenson, an author with a long backlist and a strong romantic suspense reputation. This is the same writer behind the Aftershock series, which totally ruined me and which I reviewed in the past.
I think on a deeper level, Cowboy’s Last Stand is really about survivor’s guilt. Since I’m no stranger to it, it really hit home for me.
Jason is a man haunted by war and profoundly broken both mentally and physically. Natalie exhausts herself into numbness, refusing to move on from her grief. I related to her because there is a lot of guilt when you move on after a loved one passes away.
There is grief in Cowboy’s Last Stand, but also attraction, irritation, resilience, and hunger. That combination makes for a much stronger romance.
It also has that sweet small-town vibe and the all Texsas thing going on.
His to Protect currently includes Cowboy’s Last Stand, Sheriff’s Honor, and Last Man Standing on preorder. I also read Sheriff’s Honor, and definitely plan to read the third book in the series once it comes out.
