Jenna's Cowboy (The Callahans of Texas #1) - Sharon Gillenwater

This was a recent freebie that looked to be my kind of book.  Snatched it up and read through it like it was going to disappear tomorrow.  I'm not going to go into the details of the book too much, I think it would ruin the story.

Nate is a returning war hero.  Spending time in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is returning home after being awarded the Silver Star.  Unfortunately he is also suffering from a bad case of PTSD.  He comes across Jenna, who he has loved since his school.  She now has a small child, result of her failed marriage.  His feelings haven't changed and taking a job on her family's ranch throws them together a lot.  Jenna realizes that she cares deeply about Nate as well.

This isn't the usual romance that I read.  I found it intriguing that the author chose PTSD to be the mountain the couple has to overcome to be together.  I was pulled in by Nate's struggles and wanted the best for him (and yes I know he's a fictional character).  I think the best books are the ones that I read and actually care about what happens to the characters.  Not obsessively or anything.

I really enjoyed this book.  There are two more in this series, Emily's Chance & Megan's Hero.  These two are about Jenna's brothers.  At the moment the second one is under my $5 limit so I am considering buying it.  On the other hand, it's almost the end of the month and I'm hoping for a better result for the 100 discounted books at the beginning of the month.  I'm seriously considering Emily's Chance because Jenna's Cowboy gets my Good Book review!
