Now, one thing you have to know about me is this: I. Love. Cowboys. Like, seriously. Love. I'm often convinced I was born in the wrong century. I should have been born in the 1800's when cowboys populated this great country of ours. I mean, what's better than a hardworking, wrangler-wearing, horse-riding, ruggedly-handsome, stetson-wearing, blue-eyed cowboy??
There a weakness of mine. So much, in fact, that the book I am currently writing centers around just such a man...But, I digress. High Country sucked me in at the first sentence. I stayed up late last night listening to it, and finished it this morning. I probably would have finished it faster had I been reading it, instead of just listening to it, but I enjoyed listening to it. I don't think I would have appreciated the emotional aspects of the characters and the story as much, had I been hurriedly reading it. The individual and shared heartbreak of the characters had been crying for probably half the book. The rest of the time I was laughing at Mac. He's a funny guy! My only complaint is that it ended kind of abruptly. I would love to read a sequel, or at least get an epilogue of some sort to see how Laura and Mac are doing...maybe get a glimpse of that "little girl with braids sticking out" that Mac so desperately wants and to make sure they're still happy and in love...
Maybe I'll send the author an email.
