Review: The Cowboy’s Texas Rose (The Dixons of Legacy Ranch #1) by E. Elizabeth Watson

 

They’ve found exactly what they weren’t looking for…

Archaeologist Rosalinda Morales is focused more on what’s in the soil and caves of the famed Legacy Ranch, rather than what’s on it—the sexy and charismatic cowboy heir. As a single mom to her special needs son, she knows what it’s like to struggle, so even though Toby Dixon has charm pulsing through his veins, she’s determined to resist.

Despite trying to mend bridges, Toby Dixon’s brothers have no interest in coming home, so he’s taken the reins of his family’s historic cattle ranch. Having vowed to his dying mother to settle down, he's still considering how to move the company forward when Dr. Morales, armed with a sense of humor, a keen intellect and love for adventure, arrives with her team of students. Suddenly Toby begins to see more possibilities for his family’s ancient land and his future.

Toby can’t flirt his way into Rose’s life. He’ll need to up his game and earn the trust of the woman who isn’t just excavating his soil, but digging into his heart.

 

My Review:

The perfect start to a new series.

This book kicks off The Dixons of Legacy Ranch series and I am already anxious to read the following books.  In this book, we meet Toby Dixon, who runs Legacy Ranch while his brothers are off pursuing their chosen careers.  Rose comes into Toby’s life when she brings her archeology students to study Native American artifacts found on the ranch.  When Rose and Toby first meet, he didn’t make a good first impression.  He is hungover and when Rose gets in his Bronco, she notices a pink bra some girl left behind.  Rose is attracted to Toby, but she has been hurt by men in the past.  She definitely doesn’t need a playboy like Toby in her life.  She is focusing on her teaching career and raising her autistic son.   But what people don’t understand about Toby is how much he has grown up since taking over the ranch.  He has fresh ideas to bring the ranch it into the future and he has given up his womanizing ways.  After spending time with Rose and her son, Toby has added one more thing to his future plans.  He has decided he wants Rose and Sage in his life.  And he will do whatever it takes to make it happen.

This was the first book, by this author, that I have read and I really enjoyed her writing style.  Her characters felt real, with interesting backgrounds, and the descriptions of Legacy Ranch made it sound like a place I would like to visit.  The story flowed well and kept my attention the entire time.  If you are looking for a good, heartfelt romance, I recommend this book.
