Cowboy Stole My Heart by Soraya Lane ~ New Release and Review

It takes true grit to build a billion-dollar dynasty like the Ford family ranch. But when it comes to finding love, all it takes is one handsome cowboy to steal a woman’s heart… 

SHE’S RIDING SOLO 

 As one of the heirs to the River Ranch fortune, Mia Ford is practically Texas royalty. But that doesn’t mean she’s some pampered princess. She can saddle up and ride a horse as well as any man, even a hard-working cowboy like Sam Mendes. For years, she’s harbored a crush on the strong, silent horseman. But how can she make a move when she’s his boss?

 HE’S TAKING THE REINS 

 Sam Mendes is through with love—or so he thought. Still recovering from a breakup, he’s doing everything in his power to resist Mia Ford. It’s bad enough she’s the kind of beauty who drives men wild with desire. It’s even worse she’s got him so worked up, aching to kiss her lips, when he’s supposed to be working her ranch. Is this lovestruck cowboy willing to risk losing his job—and breaking his heart—to win the girl of his dreams?

This is a bit of a classic trope - man wounded by Love meets a woman he can’t resist, he starts a “casual” fling and gets upset when she breaks the rules by developing feelings. He’s a jerk and punishes himself by not admitting that he loves her too.....
I genuinely liked Sam and Mia. I appreciated that their mutual love of horses bridged the initial animosity between them and that their relationship developed organically. I found myself frustrated with Sam for not opening up to Mia about the things that had him holding back, but if he had I doubt the conflict piece of the story would have felt as natural.
One of my favorite parts of the story was Mia as a strong female character. She didn’t let her wealthy background deter her from living the life she wanted and she wasn’t afraid of standing up for herself.
This is my first book by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last.
