5.0 out of 5 stars :), Feb 19 2001
By Jennifer Medlock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silhouette Desire #944: Cowboys Don't Quit (Paperback)
Luke Tanner is currently living his life hidden away on a mountain. Luke is hiding away with his guilt over his best friend Keith's death. Luke was Keiths stunt double on a movie, but Keith wanted to do his own stunt and died. Luke is not the only one that thinks that he is to blame. Keith's fiancee Jillan also blamed look for Keith's death.

Years later Jillan shows up at Luke's ranch wanting looks help. Not only is Luke uncomfortable helping Jillian, but he is just plain uncomfortable being around her. Luke has always had the hots for Jillian even when Keith was alive. Luke wants to remain hidden away to wallow in his guilt, but Jillian has other plans for him.

This is a sad love story. Jillian and Luke have to overcome the past to be able to deal with the future. This story shows that life does go on. I can not wait to read about the other two Tanner brothers.


5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, July 26 2011

This review is from: Silhouette Desire #944: Cowboys Don't Quit (Paperback)
Romance novels are ... well ... let's face it. Fluff. We read them because we want a formula of boy-meets-girl, not-too-insurmountable difficulties, and then a happy ending where the girl gets the boy. On the way, hopefully the author will teach us something and make us fall in love along with the characters. This was one of the ones that met those goals.

Luke Tanner is poignant as the cowboy-turned-stunt double-turned-cowboy who retreats back into his original trade after the tragic death of his best friend after the friend died after insisting on doing his own stunt. Not only mourning his friends death, but also to escape unresolved feelings for his deceased best friends grieving fiance, Luke turns back to the hard, solitary life of a cowboy to find peace. When his best friends fiance suddenly shows up two years later to interview him for a memoir about their mutual movie actor/friend, old wounds are suddenly reopened.

Unlike most romance novels, this one was written entirely from the viewpoint of the hero. We get to inhabit Luke's head as he keeps pushing Jillian away despite his resurging feelings for her and realize he isn't doing so simply to be a jerk. His guilt over not talking his friend over doing the stunt the day he died and the fact he had always possessed feelings for the woman now at his doorstep feel palpable and genuine, not contrived.

Especially realistic was the authors descriptions of the daily duties of a cowboy. No glamor here. Just lots of hard, repetitive, lonely, dangerous work. I know little about the real life of a cowboy, but the job description felt gritty and real, not some watered-down romantic version of what it meant to be a cowboy. I learned something.

Keeping in mind a 5-star rating for a formula romance novel isn't the same thing as, say, 5-stars for Charles Dickens, I would say put this one on your reading list. You'll feel good at the end.
