I’m going to keep this short since this book didn’t work for me in the big picture. There were some things I liked; I thought the suspense storyline was fascinating, and I wanted to know what happened enough to stick with the book even while I wasn’t buying into much else.
My biggest issue with One Tough Cowboy was the excessive and repetitive sex scenes. They got so redundant that I started skimming them for anything important that may have been moving Samantha and Hunter’s relationship forward, to no avail. It seemed, to me at least, that the author was far too focused on their sexual relationship and forgot to develop their emotional relationship in any way. They couldn’t be in a room together without being all over one another, to the detriment of letting the reader know why they cared for one another beyond have sex.
Secondly, for a traditionally published book, I found the editorial issues in this book to be glaring – even to my untrained eye. There was a lot of who/that confusion, various typos and misused words, and there was one point where an entire sentence was repeated. I was less than impressed with all of it.
On the plus side, the investigation and implications of it were riveting. I needed to finish the book, even if it didn’t work as a romance for me, so I could find out what was happening in Hunter’s county. I would have loved to see the end be a little more fleshed out – it felt awfully rushed and unrealistic in regards to what Samantha had experienced - and have a little more closure, since I’m not sure I can handle continuing this series, but I did understand that storyline was left a little open-ended since One Tough Cowboy is the beginning of a series.

Customer reviews
**I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review** with a 4.5 stars ratingI haven't read western romance in a while, so when I was given the opportunity to read One Though Cowboy I was very excited. The story follows Sheriff Hunter Steele a war veteran & Samantha Jolene Ryder a Detroit cop. Both have had their share of heartbreaks and they haven't seen each other since they were very young. But after tragedy hits Sam's family, she had to make her way back to Deerhaven and seeing Hunter again did all kinds of things to her heart. Hunter has been a Sheriff in the town of Deerhaven since he returned from Iraq. He returned home to find a broken marriage full of deceit, and lies that left him with a broken heart.But as these two old friends meet again, neither of them is the same person they once were, Sam now a cop in Detroit has worked hard to earn the praise & respect of her team. She is strong, intelligent and a very good cop, she is quite capable of taking the bad guys down. And while time in Detroit has left its mark, nothing had prepared Sam for what it was to come after her return to Deerhaven.Sam's aunt was found dead, and Sam was left with the job to handle her aunt's finances and belongings. And after learning of the circumstances in which her aunt died, she knew there was something amiss and to her surprise, Hunter supported her suspicion of foul play.In a town as small as Deerhaven there shouldn't be any room for anything other than gossip, but that is not all that is happening in the small quaint and cute town. A series of murders have brought the town to a halt and Hunter & Sam will have to find out who is behind it. Trust becomes a commodity in Deerheaven and Hunter no longer can trust those who he works closest with. With very few options Hunter reluctantly asks Sam for her help, knowing that Sam is the only person he can trust. It isn't long after Sam & Hunter start working together when they find themselves confronting a dangerous & corrupted enemy that will stop at nothing to make sure their business is executed. What follows is an engaging fight between Sam, Hunter & other allies against a greedy politician, corrupted police and money hungry criminals that will stop at nothing.One Though Cowboy has a great combination of action and sensuality. The scenes between Hunter and Sam are explosive and extremely hot, their attraction has always been there but it took time and working together for them to realize that what started as friendship would soon turn into a flat out hot and sexy romance. I enjoyed this story quite a lot, I found the story & characters engaging and the plot probable. The action was very entertaining and well played out, the scenes and the description put the reader in the front row of an action-packed, sexually charged story that will keep you turning the pages nonstop. I am looking forward to book #2 of the series.
