“Filled with humor, heart, and love, this page-turner is one wild ride.”— Jennifer Ryan, New York Times bestselling author on Hometown Cowboy A WOMAN NEVER FORGETS HER FIRST COWBOY . . . As a single mother, Naomi Sullivan is used to doing things on her own. She’s finally saved enough from working at the Cortez Ranch to buy a lovely home for her and her little girl. Life is going as planned. … Cortez Ranch to buy a lovely home for her and her little girl. Life is going as planned. But when her high school sweetheart comes riding back to town, this self-sufficient woman feels something she hasn’t felt in years: red-hot, unbridled need for the handsome cowboy who left her behind.
Lucas Cortez doesn’t plan on being in town long. Yet when he sees Naomi again-the gorgeous girl he never stopped loving-he’s tempted to hang up his hat and stay awhile. He’s already charmed his way into her daughter’s heart, but he’ll need more than sweet talk and roses to convince Naomi to give them a second chance-especially when she’s hiding a secret that could change their lives forever . . .more
I love second chance romances, and this HEA was a long time coming. Naomi and Lucas went through so much to be able to be together. This story proves that sometimes all you need in life is love and family
Another sweet and romantic story by Sara Richardson. I love the chemistry between Naomi and Lucas, even before they had any sort of physical contact. Their history was always hanging over them. Not in a bad or ominous way, but in a way that made it impossible for them not to think of their high school past when they saw each other. There was such a pull between them that it seemed nothing could really keep them apart.
Both Lucas and Naomi have some pretty big secrets. Although Lucas’ family aired all of their secrets to one another in the first book of this series, Hometown Cowboy, Naomi hasn’t told a soul hers. And it’s been wearing on her for a long time. Things get quite explosive once all the dirty laundry is aired on her part, but Lucas can’t stay away. It takes him much longer to open up. To be fair though, his secret is not just his own.
Coming back to the town where you are considered the bad seed cannot be easy, with the dirty looks and whispers behind your back. To make it even harder, there is someone who is being petty and destructive while trying to drive Lucas out of town.
There are a lot of things these two need to work through. But when one gets down about the future and if they can truly make a go of things, the other is strong and doesn’t let the fight end. As much as I could feel the love between them, it would have been easier for Lucas to just leave town again. But they went over 10 years without each other and they weren’t willing to quit once they found their way back together.
This story was truly beautiful. Lucas’ relationship with Gracie, Naomi’s daughter, was adorable. He is a natural dad. I have a brother-in-law who is like that…kids just know that he’s one of the good ones and can’t help but gravitate toward him.
There were some timeline issues that drove me nuts in the first half of this book. I wish my brain could ignore such things but that’s how I’m wired. The author seemed to have her days under control in the last half and not much took me out of the story after that. Overall, I’m glad I came across this author as I’m really enjoying her books so far.

Single mother Naomi Sullivan has her hands full and then some, between caring for her little girl and working she is burning her candle at both ends. But no matter how busy she may be she is perfectly content with the life she has built for them, but when her ex- boyfriend wanders back into their lives she begins to wander if an extra set of hands to tackle her heavy load might be just what she needs…
Lucas Cortez isn’t a perfect man by any means, he has a troubled past a mile long that he has paid deeply for, but it’s just that it’s the past, and now he is ready to turn over a new leaf. He returns home to see his family, full well knowing that there will be some townsfolk not too happy to see him, that’s okay though cause he’s not planning to stick around long. Or is he??
Nothing warms your heart like witnessing two lost loves find their way back to one another, and after finishing Comeback Cowboy my heart is nice and toasty. From the moment I started this story I knew I had stumbled onto something special, something that was sure to make me laugh, have me smiling a time or two and leave me with a happy heart… and true to my initial instincts it did all of that and then some! Ms. Richardson has created a gem of a story here, one that is sure to charm it’s way into the hearts of every reader, and reaffirm their belief in happily ever afters!! Definitely a can’t miss read, and wonderful addition to the Rocky Mountain Riders Series!!
