[The Cowboys 12] • Texas Tender

The bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky – they got into a man’s blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy … except the love of a good woman.

He was the most beautiful man Idalou Ellsworth had ever set eyes on. When he appeared at her front door, she was struck speechless at the very sight of him. Folks in Dunmore, Texas thought her bossy, too focused on rescuing her family’s failing ranch to be interested in courting. But in Will’s company, she couldn’t think of anything but him. And when the devil-may-care cowboy took her in his arms, she understood as never before, the pleasures of being a woman.

Review"Greenwood’s 12th and final book in the Cowboy series is a sweet romance with even pacing, witty dialogue and an entertaining battle of wills." —Romantic Times Book Reviews 

"Few authors if any can bring to life a late nineteenth century cowboy romance like Leigh Greenwood consistently does. The amusing story line is a combination of the taming of the no longer shrew and the hunk who adores her even more than her bull. Texas Tender is a delightful historical romance with a touch of suspense that is clearly a Greenwood branded winner." —Midwest Book Review

"Leigh Greenwood continues to be a shining star of the genre.”—*The Literary Times *

“Leigh Greenwood remains of on e the forces to be reckoned with in the Americana romance sub-genre.”—Affaire de Coeur
