He's Just a Cowboy

Mavericks #2

by Lisa Jackson

Some men you never forget. Rodeo rider Turner Brooks was such a man - all rawhide and recklessness no woman could tame...

For six agonizing years, Heather Tremont Leonetti had tried to make a lie of the breathless summer when Turner had broken her innocence and branded her heart. But now only the truth could save her most precious, most cherished memento.

Which meant she'd have to beg help of the one man who could drive her to her knees-the proud, unforgiving loner she'd loved... the unforgettable cowboy who had sired her son.

Heather Tremont lets her emotions get the better of her when she falls for rodeo rider Turner Brooks and ends up pregnant. But she knows he has sworn off love and marriage, so she marrries a banker's son. Too bad he doesn't really take to fatherhood of the boy who's not his.

After little Adam contracts leukemia, Heather has to find Turner. He could be a match if Adam needs a bone marrow transplant. But will Turner accept the boy? Will he even talk to Heather when he finds out about the boy? Will he forgive her for never telling him that he is a father?

Turner Brooks was a cowboy in every sense of the word, hard and silent, keeping his feelings and thoughts hid. For 6 yrs he had tried to forget Heather yet she constantly stayed in his mind.
For 6 long years Heather had hid the truth, avoiding the man who still made her stomach turn in knots.
Now Heather has to let her secret out, that Adam her son who is very sick needs the one thing she has hidden all these years. Adams true father is Turner Brooks and now Heather must face him, telling the truth,no lies, only the whole truth. Will Turner turn her away or will he accept the fact that he has a son, a son that has been denied him all these years. Turner will also have to face the truth as well, that after all these years Heather his "Lady" is the only woman he's wanted.
This was a good read and held your attention, the story line believable and the characters filled out.

Just finished this easy reading reissued novel. Originally published as He’s just a cowboy in 1993. I’m always looking for books I may have missed. Lisa Jackson is one of my favorite authors.

A little romance, a little suspense, but keeps you wanting more. The way it ended makes me think there is another book…

Originally published in 1993 under a different title, this book was released again in 2025. Lisa Jackson is one of my favorite authors and I love her mystery books. Point of Mercy was written before she developed her style of suspense.

Not my favorite Lisa Jackson book. The hero was immature and, as a result, mean. The heroine loves him, loses him, has his love child, and takes him back in the end.

An average cowboy romance. Nothing too special, honestly it’s more about a second chance and two stubborn people falling in love, so much fast paced that I couldn’t keep up with the characters change of mind in about 2 sentences.

[Gwen Smits · Rating 2 out of 5]

You can tell this was written a while ago. Lots of darlin’s and just 90’s machismo throughout the book. Pretty basic cowboy book. Wouldn’t recommend.

If you like romance, this is a good book

[Sue Brader · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read but nothing too exciting. Girl meets boy. They dislike each other and then , over time, they fall in love. Very predictable.

[Wanda Sturgeon demunck · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Andrew Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

An early Jackson novel...no real suspense but a good story.
