If you are looking for a little old fashion romance this is just the book for you.

Dawson falls in love with Sage takes her to bed where his psycho wife, who he thought was divorcing him, find them and aims a shot gun at them and the rest goes downhill from there until he shows up five years later wanting a second chance. Personally I think Sage should have kicked him in the balls then kicked him to the curb. For some reason I was expecting a lot of steam but got an old fashion romance instead. The characters where larger than life and melted my heart and I look forward to reading the rest of the series and hope to hear more about the enigma that is Sage's father.

I think it is interesting when I find a book that ties two series together, it will be interesting to see is the author was able to maintain the continuity of her character even as the evolve from story to story.

I would have giving this book five stars but I think it needs some more editing done. I found a sentence that I am sure was missing a word as it made no sense at all.

This is a wonderful second chance story that will leave you smiling. Dawson O'Dell and Sage Carrigan. Five years is a long time but now Sage has to face Dawson again...in her town! And she's not happy. I recommend this for everyone! The characters are interesting and the story is heartwarming. I felt the ending was a bit rushed but overall a good read. ( )

Review:

"Promise Me, Cowboy" by CJ Carmichael was a enjoyable read of a cowboy named Dawson O'Dell who gets a second chance at love with Sage Carrigan. This author presented to the reader a interesting well written read of Sage who had left the rodeo circuit due to injury and was now owner of her chocolate shop. We find she had previously been involved with this cowboy, who was a bronco rodeo rider, but after learning that he was married Sage had tried put him behind her and was going on with her life. Five years later, this cowboy comes into her shop to try to make amends however, Sage is not having any of it. I found this story good however, somewhat predictable in some areas. I think this author did do a good job with the details in explaining it all to what had gone on with Dawson now that he has come back to Sage's home town. Why is he planning to settle down here? I can see why Sage was upset with seeing him and the horror of it all with there last meeting being of Dawson's wife pointing a rifle at her. I found all of the characters well defined, and portrayed giving us a smooth enjoyable read. I did like the way this author was able to also let the reader see that Sage still had an attraction to this cowboy and at the end after Dawson finally proves to Sage that he had taken care of business then it was pure icing on the cake. In the end "Promise Me, Cowboy" was definitely a good read of second chances after heartbreak, secrets, humiliation and forgiveness had been taken care of. ( )
