My Thoughts: Everyone has a story. Abby is running from the past, hoping to start a fresh new life, forgetting her painful past. Bo Monahan doesn't realize how tangled his story is going to be, when he meets Abby for the first time. This book kept me turning pages till the very end. I enjoyed the story, and probably as other readers did, found myself frustrated with Abby and Bo both. My favorite side character in this story is Jarrod, the older brother. It might be because that is my son's name but I am interested in seeing his story and what love will do to that strong, silent fireman/cowboy. My heart broke as every day Pops experienced the painful memory loss of Alzheimers. Debra Clopton took these characters who make you wonder how they fit together and turned it into a story that made you care. Loved Baby Levi. 4.5 stars from this reviewer.

About the book: Counting on a Cowboy (Thomas Nelson, August 2015)
After losing everything she held dear, Abby never wants to love again. But a certain cowboy may just spur her to wonder if love might be worth the risk.
Running from a past that haunts her, Abby Knightly is drawn to the cozy town of Wishing Springs, Texas. Maybe this small town could offer hope and healing and a future for Abby . . . if she's brave enough to reach out and take it by the reins.
Bo Monahan isn't interested in the new romantic destination his little town has become---or the women who might be looking at him like he's their next Mr. Right. Between taking care of his Pops and his growing stirrup business, he isn't looking for serious romantic commitments. But when the infant son he never knew about shows up at his doorstep, his world is turned upside down.
This confirmed bachelor might not think he needs a wife, but he sure needs help. Even Abby can see that, and despite her best efforts to keep her distance, she can't help but be drawn to this new father-son duo. As Abby throws herself into helping Bo navigate fatherhood, hope sparks between them, revealing that maybe, just maybe, they can navigate their dark pasts and emerge together into a future as bright as the Texas sun itself.
