Jenna's Cowboy by Sharon Gillenwater

★★★★☆
Jenna Callahan Colby thought she was content. A partner on her father's successful ranch, she is surrounded by family and friends. But she never expected to see Nate Langley back in town--the first guy she ever noticed, the one her father sent away all those years ago.

And she never thought the attraction they felt would be as strong as ever.

Jenna's cowboy has some healing of his own to do, though, after two tours of duty in the armed forces. With the help of good friends, strong faith, and a loving family, he hopes to put the horrors of the past behind him--and become the man Jenna deserves.

I really enjoyed Jenna's Cowboy!!  It was a freebie, so I decided to give it a try and really ended up liking it!  It's a love story - of course.  :)  Jenna and Nate knew each other in high school, and although neither knew it, they had been attracted to one another back then.  Jenna has since married and had a baby, only to be walked out on by her husband.  Nate returns from the armed forces as the hometown hero, but he's struggling with the effects of war - PTSD.  This element definitely adds an aspect of depth and realism to the story.  Of course Jenna and Nate fall for each other, and that's where the love story happens!  Before reading this book, I never realized the impact of PTSD on a person's life... the author herself became well-educated on the subject before writing this story, so it's role in the story feels very real.  I really enjoyed this book!!
