YYYYY

I've found a new back series that I'll be looking to get my hands on. I did read one of this series in the past and thought it was okay, but giving a chance with a second book I've decided to check out the others. Men of Mule Hollow is a new extended series from Debra Clopton that continues from her previous books the Mule Hollow series. Several of her former characters are written within the pages of Her Forever Cowboy. As I haven't read the previous books, I can say that it isn't necessary to enjoy this book if you haven't read the others. That said, after reading this book I'll be checking out Amazon to see if I can find the previous books.

Her Forever Cowboy tells the story of Cole Turner. Running from his past, Cole spends his days away from Mule Hollow helping victims of hurricanes rebuild their homes. He sees this as his gift to help other people get their dreams back after tragedy has struck them. When his eldest brother calls him home he is almost run down by Mule Hollow's newest resident.

Susan is up late three nights in a row after tending to the local ranches cattle needs. The veterinarian has worked very had to get where she is today and she isn't about to let some roaming cowboy tell her what to do. Susan is looking for a man who wants to settle down and help her raise a family and support her way of life. Too bad the only one she is interested in is Cole, because Cole can't wait to finish up his responsibilities and head back on the road where he can be safe from his own misery.

This is a nicely written series that gives an inspirational message without getting too preachy. The hero and the heroine are both interesting and real. The supporting cast is interesting and amusing and seem to have interesting stories of their own to tell. Most are already in previous books by the author. Her Forever Cowboy is the first in the Men of Mule Hollow series.

Description:
Mule Hollow, Texas, is chock-full of handsome cowboys ready to say "I do." So veterinarian Susan Worth moves in, dreaming of meeting Mr. Right. He's most certainly not the gorgeous rescue worker blazing through town on a motorcycle. Cole Turner is a sixth-generation Mule Hollow rancher, but he's all about roaming Texas to save everyone but himself. The hurt hidden deep inside his heart keeps him from settling down. But Susan is determined—and knows just how—to make him her forever cowboy.
