She’ll risk everything to bring her cowboy back home…
One week ago, Cyrus Cahill told Ashley Jo “AJ” Somerfield that he’d be back in her arms by the weekend. He just needed to buy a bull for his ranch, and then they’d pick up where they left off after that romantic ride through the foothills. But now he’s gone missing and everyone—even the sheriff—believes he’s dead.
Everyone…but AJ. She suspects foul play and she won’t rest until Cyrus is back home in Gilt Edge, right where he belongs. Because Cyrus isn’t the kind of cowboy who breaks a promise. And since she’s not the kind of woman who gives up on her man, AJ will risk anything to help bring him home…even her own life.
Don’t miss this suspenseful conclusion of The Montana Cahills series from New York Times bestselling author B.J. Daniels.
Review: Wrangler’s Rescue is the seventh and final installment in the Montana Cahill series and I for one am sorry to see it end. Only having read four of the seven books in the series, I’ve missed some of the books along the way but I hope to rectify that soon. The books I’ve missed have all been added to my always growing TBR pile!
Wrangler’s Rescue had us reuniting with the Cahills and their spouses along with others who are like family and also Harp, the deputy who always seems to be in hot water. The story is a romantic suspense and had dark undertones and was filled with sorrow since Cyrus, who went to buy a bull in Denver, turns up going overboard on a cruise ship after he supposedly gets married. His family knows nothing about any of it and don’t like his wife, Juliette, at all when she contacts them. When A.J, the bartender at the Stagecoach Saloon owned by Cyrus’ brother and sister, has a gut feeling something’s not right, the others sit up and take notice especially when she says she feels he’s still alive. She and Cyrus were getting closer just before he had to take the trip to Denver. To say she’s devastated is an understatement.
The story takes many twists and turns in Montana and the Caribbean but also in Arizona and Miami where Juliette is being looked at for crimes as she’s known as a black widow with many marriages and almost as many dead husbands. There are crimes being committed, violence and injuries and Juliette seems to almost always be at the center of things. AJ’s feelings take her all over the Caribbean trying to find out what really happened to Cyrus and if he’s in fact still alive. She’s wary and doesn’t know who she can trust. She has the support of Cyrus’ family, especially his brother, Flint, who is the sheriff of their small town. There are vivid descriptions in all the locales that made me feel that I was there. The characters have a lot of layers to them and we get to know them a little at a time and things look more sinister the more we find out. There is nice closure after many near death experiences and a happily-ever-after in the offing.
Ms. Daniels writes wonderful books set in the west and I look forward to reading more of her books.
Favorite Quote: She’d had a crush on him for months. But in the weeks before he’d left, she’d fallen in love with him. From the beginning, she’d sensed something special between them. She hadn’t imagined that any more than she was imagining he was still alive. She felt it, heart deep.
