Cowboy Redeemed is the third installment in the Shadow Maverick Ranch series and in my opinion, the best one yet. Parker Kincade outdoes herself yet again with Clay and Ainsley’s story. I was immediately drawn to Ainsley and her plight and Clay is just yummylishous!! (I know that is not really a word, but just go with me.) He is every girls dream in a hunky alpha male. This is a touching heartwarming romance that stirs such an array of emotions. You get to experience some laughs, sniffles, joy and strife along with the rest of the Mathis crew as well as the sizzling chemistry between Ainsley and Clay. Ms. Kincade has a way of writing that draws you into the story and holds your interest until the end. You will not be disappointed to share in this adventure.
