Product Description
How a Cowboy Stole Her Heart Clay's known Megan her whole life, and now she's back home after a painful ordeal, he plans to remind Meg she's still the girl who can beat him in a horse race! An invite to a family wedding seems the perfect way to get reacquainted. But as Meg arrives in her curve-hugging red dress, her skills on a horse are the furthest thing from his mind...The Rancher's Dance Lucy Buchanan was getting romantic ideas about the sexy rancher next door. Not even Beck's gruff manner could stop her from being neighbourly. Even before he swept her into his arms on the dance floor, Beck knew Lucy was some kind of special...and had danced her way straight into his heart?

I found 'How A Cowboy Stole Her Heart' to be a poignant story about surviving cancer. Our heroine Megan Briggs is a proud woman but an unsure one. In order to stop her family from worrying about her, Meg hid the extent of her cancer from them. She believed she was doing the right thing by keeping them from her pain. When our hero Clay Gregory finally notices Meg after a lifetime of treating her like a little sister, Meg is in no way ready to have any type of relationship.
I liked how Donna Alward's hero is unrelenting but kind. Clay isn't going to let Meg hid behind her cancer and let it slowly eat up the rest of her life. He's a strong man who time and again tries to Meg to accept his help and support. It is only when she does this that she can truly begin to heal from the self-hatred and scars to her esteem, which are far worse than anything left behind by the surgeon.
Allison Leigh's ' The Rancher's Dance' is nothing like the blurb on the back of the book. I do sometimes wonder if the blurb writers have actually read(!) the book. This story deserves better. Firstly, it's about a ballerina. Not any ballerina but a Prima Ballerina who has suffered a career ending injury. Her attempts to heal the injury, work around the injury and deny the injury are the backbone of this story. It is only when she opens her eyes to other possibilities that real healing can take place.
Our ballerina is 33 yr old Lucy Buchanan. She is tiny, bendy and feisty. She sacrificed all personal dreams to become a Prima. To have her career end at the hands of her rat-cheat lover is almost more than she can bear. Our hero is Beckett Ventura, a self made man whose wife died leaving him with a small daughter he can't really cope with. Beck is described as 'gruff' in the blurb. Truthfully, he's rather rude, but his rudeness comes from a desire to crawl into a hole and hide. His small daughter is rapidly losing her ability to speak because of the emotional trauma of losing her mother. It is when the babysitter fails and Beck has to finish Lucy's house that the golden opportunity of a new career, love and restoration of self happens for Lucy, Beck and his daughter.
The writing style of both books are similar: straight forward with touches of humour. The supporting casts are good and my personal favourite is Beck's father, Stan, who even gets his own romance.
I'm not terribly keen on medical romance as I see far more of my doctor than I would care to. Both of these stories, although dealing with medical issues, have a deep psychological insight. Realising the machine that is our body will fail but being secure in the knowledge that real love looks past such things is the best type of medicine.
