"The Cowboy", now set in modern day Texas, still has the sense of wildness and adventure that we saw in the Lone Star series.
I was glad to see that sense of courage and conviction possessed by the original sisters has been passed down through the generations. The characters are strong and likeable, the story had many twists and turns,secrets and lies and some edge of your seat cliffhangers that made it a page turner.
