Review: The Texas Cowboy’s Rescue (Texas Heritage #3) by Debra Holt

 

This charge nurse and helicopter pilot bring a new twist to flight risk…

Single mom Kenzie Calhoun has returned to Burkitt, Texas, and the Aces High Ranch determined to build a loving home. She has a new position as a nurse on an air medical evac team, a house to remodel, and a whip-smart six-year-old daughter to raise. After a disastrous marriage, the walls around her heart are high. There’s no room for another mistake in the romance department.

Major Deke Hayes takes pride in his air evac helicopter service that assists area ranches, including the Aces High, during roundups and predator removal. In his spare time, he flies emergency calls for the local hospital. But his call sign, Lone Wolf, says it all: his trust issues mean he flies through life solo, too.

That is, until precocious Brooke Calhoun, with a penchant for climbing trees and a fondness for sprinkles on cupcakes, can’t help but bring the two adults together with her antics. Will Kenzie and Deke see that sometimes walls have a way of crumbling in the face of second chances?

 

My Review: 

A great addition to the Texas Heritage series.

I knew this book was going to be good when I picked it up.  I have enjoyed the previous books in the series, so I couldn’t wait to start this one.  I really liked the characters and the author did a great job on their backgrounds and current storyline.  Kenzie works for Deke as an air medical evac nurse and she knows it’s not right to have feelings for her boss.  But she still does.  Deke is also fighting the same feelings for Kenzie.  Because they have both had bad experiences in relationships, they hold back.  It’s Kenzie’s little girl who seems to bring them together.  She was such a fun part of this story.  When it would get a bit serious, Brooke was there to lighten it up some.  I also liked catching up with the characters from the previous books.  Even though this book is part of a series, you could read it as a stand-alone.  But I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series so you really know what’s going on with the other characters that pop up in this book.
