Cowboy Come Home

Kenny goes to great lengths to wrap up the Lost Sons trilogy (A Cowboy Christmas; In a Cowboy’s Arms) with this dramatic contemporary western. Trey March was lassoed and left for dead after he was caught dallying with the boss’s daughter. Daisy Barton knows nothing of the beating and believes Trey deserted her. Now her dad is dead, and she’s running the ranch into the ground with the dubious help of an evil foreman. When Trey returns to claim money the ranch owes him, Daisy can’t pay, but if he takes over as foreman and saves the thirsty herd, she promises he’ll get his money and a fresh start. The attraction between them still sizzles, but someone is out to destroy the ranch at any cost. The link between Trey and Daisy lacks credibility, and too much time is spent on loose ends from earlier books. (Nov.)
