My Cowboy Heart by Z.A. Maxfield
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Honestly? I expected better. Crispin annoyed me like Hell a number of times and it felt like Speed did all the talking and all the opening up throughout the whole book. He did get better towards the end but I was never really able to forget his previously idiotic moments. First time he acted out I could forgive 'cause he went though a lot and he hadn't really know much about Speed but later? After being together a number of times and seeing the way Speed treated him? Yeah. He was kind of an *ss always jumping to conclusions and not trusting Speed. And that lack of trusting was the more evidenced by him never even trying to bottom for Speed. Then again, I also think that was Speed's fault 'cause he let Crispin get away with a lot due to his past. A past he never really talked about either..not really. That didn't stop him from pressuring Speed about his tho. Gotta love dysfunctional relationships. So...overall, I liked the characters but didn't really see the appeal of them as a couple. The world-building was good too. There are a number of great supporting characters that really made a difference for me and the plot was pretty solid too apart from Crandall's death. That just jumped out of nowhere to generate conflict and I considered it pretty unnecessary to the story. So, it was captivating enough to keep me reading 'till the end but ended up disappointing me anyway with all the talk about the ranch changing hands and the lack of evolution from Crispin and Speed's relationship.
