“Today was a tough day for Michelle Lancaster. One year ago today, her life had fallen apart.”
This was a clean contemporary romance about a woman dealing with grief, and a cowboy who didn’t like horses.

This is a nice quick read, but not necessarily a light one. Worth evokes a gamut of emotions in her readers throughout. It is a sweet story that really makes you value the good things. This novella is about so much more than simply a romance between two individuals, it’s about life. Worth’s well written, yet quiet writing style lets this shine through.

This was a very deep story for a novella. Personally, I wouldn't even classify it as such, even though it is only 160 pages long. There is much more story packed into those few pages.
The story actually starts from Brodie's point of view. Brodie is walking through the water's edge when he sees this beautiful woman and horse coming directly at him. He realizes the woman doesn't see him until it's almost to late. The story continues with much more of it being through Brodie's eyes. Michelle is a m ...more

Brodie has found a new calling for himself living in the sunny beach town, sculpting unique items from driftwood. Giving a new beautiful purpose to something that otters would only see as washed up and without use. There isn't much difference between how most people view drift wood and what most people thought of Brodie. Working hard to turn his life around and focus on the positive in himself Brodie has finally come to terms with his relationship (or lack there of) with his father. The last thi

The story is a light and quick read. The book could have been much deeper but that direction was not taken. Michelle looses her family and escapes to Driftwood, FL to get away. She meets Brodie who she didn't want to meet and spends time with him, though she didn't really want to. Brodie wants to get to know Michelle but is torn because of his past. Can they work together to get through their pasts?

What a sweet story. Both Brodie & Michelle have some major healing to do. They've had events in their pasts that bring them together and then tie them together through mutual understanding, compassion and a deep undercurrent of affection for one another. All the way through, they helped each other heal from their various hurts and once they came together, it was a perfect happily ever after. ...more

This is a wonderful story about two lost souls, Michelle Lancaster and Brody Stevens, who find each other and build love through growing trust in each other. The characters are well written and the story is so believable that you will want to read it again.

Are you gonna drink that or make it levitate?" Sam asked - #bookquote - this made me laugh n smile - moment of lightness about characters with deep sadness due to life events that are their reason for taking refuge in driftwood bay. Loved this couples chemistry, connectedness, retreating and integration of their friends and family. Ready to read book 2.

I liked the beginning, I liked the middle. But the ending seemed a little rushed. I like how the two broken souls are broken in ways that the other can fix and in do so are fixed themselves. Overall good story.
I didn't care for the protagonists at first, but they grew on me as the story progressed. As they got to know each other, I got to know them. It starts of oddly disjointed, but it smooths out as it goes.

WOW! This story is amazing. It concerns Michelle Lancaster aka Louisiana, trying to recover from the horrendous pain of tragic events in her life by having time alone in Driftwood Bay, Florida. She’s there alone, apart from her much loved horse, Coco, which she rides along the beach. One day she’s riding when her tears prevent her seeing local driftwood artist Brodie Stevens so Coco almost throws her when trying to avoid running into him. She’s actually seen him around but has been trying to avo

I wasn’t sure whether I’d like this book at first. The first few meetings between Michelle and Brodie are kind of confusing, with a lot of things going unsaid and apparently a whole bunch of subtext that the two of them pick up on that left me simply floundering. I wasn’t particularly enamoured of the way Brodie almost stalks Michelle while she’s telling him to go away. Until she stops, for no apparent reason, and the two connect.

In Driftwood Cowboy by Lenora Worth, Michelle is a powerful heroine whose pain I could feel. Lenora really managed to make me feel connected to Michelle and wonder how anyone could get over what she's been through. She can't forgive herself, she can't move on. Michelle has lived through every a nightmare no one wants to. She feels, but she doesn't know if she can ever be happy again.
