The Horse Whisperer meets Hope Floats when bubbly Bryn Callahan and brooding Zane Taylor protect an unwanted horse and end up with an animal rescue operation that they can only handle when they rely on each other. Scarred and battered loner Zane Taylor has a gift with animals, particularly horses, but he's at a total loss when it comes to knowing how to handle women. Even though he's sworn off love, he can't seem to stay away from Bryn Callahan. He's known for being a horse whisperer, but can't seem to find his voice at all where Bryn is concerned. Bryn Callahan has a heart for strays, but she is through trying to save damaged men. She vows to only date nice guys, which is a category that does not include Zane Taylor. Too bad he's the only one who sets her pulse racing every time she's around him. Starting a horse rescue ranch wasn't in Bryn's plan, but try telling that to the assembly of abandoned animals that have found their way to her doorstep. And when a chance encounter with a horse headed for slaughter brings Zane and Bryn together, they find themselves given a chance to save not just the horse, but maybe each other...

Download or read book Thoughts of a Cowboy written by Michael H. Moore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whole idea of writing these poems came about in the late 1990's. My dad retired after working all his years to make a better life for my mom, my brother and me. Through hard work and honesty, he brought our family from abject poverty to a middle class family with a home, a little land and a few head of cattle. His greatest joy was when he retired and was able to devote all his time to working the land and cattle. Unfortunately, shortly after he retired, he was diagnosed with cancer. As his health and stamina declined I wanted to give him something to bring him a smile. I came across a book by the great Baxter Black, who is, without a doubt, one of the great cowboy humorists of our time. His poetry brought many smiles to my dad in his latter days. After reading several of Baxter Black's poems, my dad looked at me and said, "Mike, I bet you could do this if you set your mind to it." I wrote my first poem, "THE LOTTO TICKET" based on one of the many humorous stories my dad used to tell. One such story ended with the same line as the last two lines in the poem. After he read it, he said, "See!? I told you, you could do it." This collection is done strictly for posterity. I have no illusions of grandeur of becoming a famous writer. I hope they bring a smile to your face as they did to my dad.

Colton Nelson was twenty-eight years old when he won the Texas Lottery and went from ranch hand to ranch owner overnight. Now he's desperate to keep the gold diggers away. It shouldn't be too hard to find a pretty girl and hire her to pretend to be his one-and-only. Laura Baker's got mixed feelings about this-she's on the ranch to work, not to be arm candy. On the other hand, being stuck for a while in the boondocks with a gorgeous cowboy isn't half-bad.

Book excerpt: "I've known about Ike Blasingame all my life, knew many of his fellow punchers, white and Indian. Ike was certainly a salty representative of the Texas bronc twister when he came North with that most romantic of cow outfits, the British-owned Matador. . . . [He] takes the reader across the treacherous Missouri River as the spring-softened ice goes out under the horses' feet, into the still wild cow towns, through the round-ups, the prairie fires. . . . There is the authentic smell and feel of the Northern cow country of fifty years ago in the story Ike Blasingame tells."-Mari Sandoz"Here is one of the most gripping Western tales since Andy Adams' The Log of a Cowboy was published in 1903. The telling is considerably like Adams'-warm, human, flavorful. The author, a one-time Matador ranch cowboy, . . . lived his story, and he tells it straight in the language of the cow country without contrivance."-New York Times"Many of the cowboys who have written about their experiences never really looked at any wider segment of the cattle business than was visible between their horses' ears, but Ike Blasingame did. He paints a big picture without omitting details."-New York Herald-Tribune
