Cowboy On Call

I’ve enjoyed this story in a sort of twisted way.
Both main characters were flawed and insecure, the heroine was immature and irresponsible (yes, ignoring the symptoms your child shows after a severe fall, only because you don’t want to face the doctor, is really motherly), the tortured hero fighting his demons and his sense of failure as a physician and seeking redemption and trying to avoid patients (!) because he’s afraid of failing. So, Olivia and Sawyer are not the politically correct, perfect characters we usually come across in these stories. Having access to their flow of thoughts makes them quite believable, although Olivia turned out to be an unsympathetic heroine, resentful, a bit dumb and ungrateful (by the end she melts a little). Not relatable, but quite realistic… and irritating.
As for Sawyer, I love a tortured hero, but because the complete dimension of his grief is only revealed in the last part of the story, his behavior as a depressed, reluctant doctor sometimes seems a bit erratic. The self-flagellation was raw and his suffering poignant. I thought his need for atonement in his role as the prodigal brother was a bit exaggerated and Sam’s expectations too unyielding. But I really liked to watch the healing of the troubled doctor in the ranch, among unfriendly cowboys, and hesitantly learning to provide medical care for a small community.
I would have liked to have seen some aspects more developed, namely the couple chemistry (or lack thereof) and their past story, but enjoyed the setting, the ranch life and work and the horses, the characters (Everett and Liza are a great older couple and great characters; Nick is a fantastic kid), and how the author is constantly redefining family and familial bonds.

This is a “sweet and clean” book – there is no cursing and no sex, so if those things bother you, you have nothing to worry about here.

I loved the back story between Olivia and Sawyer, and the way that they slowly but surely began to trust each other again. While I enjoy books that have sex in them, it's always nice to read a book where the actual personal relationship is the main focus of the book, not the sex life of the characters. The fact that Sawyer and Olivia actually got to know each other and actually worked on their relationship makes me believe in their happily ever after. It was also really great seeing the characters from the previous books and catching up on their lives.

This book is meatier than the easy reading “beach read” books that are on the market these days, but everything that happens is not only interesting, it is important to the story, so the length makes sense.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book with depth that tells a great story.

The third in the series, and worth the read. The main issue I had with this one is that I was not overly fond of the characters. Olivia, since the first book, always made me want to reach into the books and shake her, and this was no exception. And as for Sawyer, Ok, he had an issue with a child dying, but it stretched out so long, that by the time more was known I didn't care. Still, the book is worth reading, and it did pick up towards the final third of the book. Would highly recommend this book and series.

Part of the Kansas Cowboy series. Sawyer returns from his clinic abroad to the family place finding he must redeem the past and his spirit.
Good book, characters and story line.
