A Cowboy to Remember
by Rebekah Weatherspoon
I was immediately drawn to this book once I read the blurb. I mean who could resist an amnesiac celebrity chef and her cowboy crush! Bonus, I had wanted to read this author for awhile, so I jumped on this.
I really liked how the author dealt with the amnesia storyline, it was not over-the-top and melodramatic, and actually seemed quite realistic. I really believed in Evie’s progress from waking up confused and weak to rediscovering her talents and who she was. Evie was probably the best part of the book for me as I really admired her strength of character and how she never settled for less than she deserved even though she was just so NICE. It was also great to see such a strong female friendship group that supported each other.
However, I didn’t really enjoy the pacing of this story and I think this problem was due in part to having too many secondary characters. Most of the secondary characters left little to no impression on me and seemed extraneous to the plot. It would have been a tighter story with better flow if we could concentrate on a core set. This also impacted my investment in Evie’s and Zach relationship as the plot veered unnecessarily into interactions with these other characters instead of driving forward.
The villain of this story was one-dimensional, but I actually really enjoyed that and had fun being able to whole-heartedly hate the character. This played well into the soap-operaesque set up of the story and I was totally into it.
Overall, I enjoyed this story even though I wished that the plot was tighter. I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series!
