SYNOPSIS

A one-time bad girl comes home to small-town Oregon in the first in a sexy, heartfelt new series from USA TODAY bestselling author Maisey Yates…

Sadie Miller isn’t expecting any welcome-home parades on her return to Copper Ridge. Least of all from part-time rancher, full-time lawman Eli Garrett. The straight-laced, impossibly hot deputy sheriff glares at her like she’s the same teenage hoodlum who fled town ten years ago. But running from her demons has brought Sadie full circle, ready to make a commitment at last. Not to a man, but to a B and B. On Garrett land. Okay, so her plan has a tiny flaw…

Eli works too hard to let a blonde ball of trouble mess up his town. But keeping an eye on Sadie makes it tough to keep his hands off her. And if she’s so wrong for him, why does being with her feel so right?

A ROCK CHICK FAIRY BOOK REVIEW

An ARC was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Part Time Cowboy has a different flavor to it. 

I usually read romance books wherein it's the heroine who has a bigger issue. In this case, I daresay that Eli has issues the size of a bulldozer. 

You see, Sadie has always been a runner. She runs when things get to be too much for her or just when she thinks she wants to experience something new. I think she's got a strong character because it takes a lot of strength to just pick up and leave the life that you know presently. However, she knew there's something missing, so she goes back to where it all started. In all fairness to her, she has a very good reason to be the way she is. I don't begrudge her the running and the escaping. I think it's her way of coping. In this book, she faces her demons and meets a guy with a devilish smile. . . . and attitude... at first that is. ;) 

Sooo now let me explain why I think Eli has the bigger issue here.

Eli is a fixer. He fixes things and doesn't like it when things are out of order. If you ask me, I think he's a little obsessive compulsive. I know, I know, it's a trait that's seen more in women. However, there's history here so you would really understand why he is the way he is. I'll admit, at first, I truly didn't like Eli's attitude towards Sadie. He has no excuse to be an ass to her, but there were times when he really was. As the story went by, I understood him. He actually kind of makes sense. I was at the edge of my seat waiting for him to snap out of it. And he did, oh boy he sooo did. 

He pulled through. They pulled through in spite of their not so wonderful history.

What should you expect here? THE PUSH AND PULL. I swear, I've been reading a lot of books lately with characters who don't really argue... This book sure made me miss it! Haha! It's amazing how two people could go from fighting one second then kissing the next! :) Still gets to me everytime!

This book is all about their journey towards achieving the right balance between change and stability. 

I think I could have given this a higher rating, if not for the high amount of internal monologues. Anyway, it still is a good read. I was entertained and I look forward to the next book! It sounds really interesting too!
