When Boone Telford asked Piper Wiley travel with him from town to town for the rodeo circuit, he always knew their time together would come to an end. And Marietta, the town where his family lives seems to be the right place for the pair to part ways, especially since he isn't ready to tell her more about himself. However, letting her go isn't easy. Yet, when she discovers what he's hiding soon after they arrive in Marietta, will he be able to win back Piper's trust or will he lose the woman he's fallen in love with?
The way this story started with the prologue proves that Boone has really strong feelings for Piper and it's not going to be easy to let her go. However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine arrive in his hometown where this story really takes off, as Boone is hiding so much from Piper and as this story progresses it's palpable to Piper that something is going on with him. Really, she knows him that well. Will he ever tell her the truth? Will what he's keeping rom her tear them apart?
As for the dialogue, it was entertaining and intense due to the main characters back stories, especially that of the heroine, as she's never had a permanent home and is finally ready to settle in one place. Moreover, I really liked both the main characters. With the heroine, she's resilient, courageous and I liked the decisions she made for her future because Marietta seems like the perfect fit. I also liked how she handles things with the hero, even though it isn't easy for her to deal with the fact that she's in love with Boone and she realizes that he may never be able to give her the stability she needs. While the hero, he's hard-working, smart, resilient and I liked how determined he is to prove his worth. No way will he live off what his father has built. I also liked the close friendships he has with the other riders on the tour and the close relationships he has with his family who give him much needed advice when it comes to his relationship with Piper. Really, and if he doesn't listen then he's letting the best woman that he's ever been with get away.
Overall, Ms. Jayne has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between Piper and Boone is strong; the romance was hot and shows how good these two are together; and the ending had me liking Boone's determination to win the heroine back because she's the one for him. I would recommend Cowboy Come Home by Sinclair Jayne, if you enjoy small town romances, stories containing sexy cowboys, or books by authors Heidi Rice, Jeannie Watt, Joan Kilby and Sarah Mayberry.
