FIVE STAR REVIEW! "[Main character] Grace had my attention when I began reading, then my admiration and sympathy..." - Readers' Favorite

When life has taken all you have, will there be enough left over to love?

Grace Isabella Lee is a woman on the run - from the past, from the lies, and from the ever-growing sense that she just ain't good enough to love.

Matthew is a cowboy with a secret, who knows without doubt that anyone he loves will be taken from him, just as was his wife.

When Grace falls upon ruffians intent on defiling her, she all but gives up. But Matthew is her guardian angel, and soon becomes much more. Working together on the Baxter homestead, they will discover new truths - about themselves, about each other, and about the world itself.

Together, they reignite the fires of once-banked loves.

Together, Grace and Matthew will find their way to safety, to happiness, and to love.

Grace will teach him that he is more of a man than he ever thought, and Matthew will teach her that she CAN love again... because Not All Cowboys Are Cruel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Read. Good times had by all, except the villains.
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017

This was a fun read. Just plain fun. If you're looking for some kind of serious romance, or a literary epic, or a western saga, or.... you get what I mean. Any of those, and you might want to look somewhere other than a debut western romance.
But if you're in the mood for a good fun romp, a la the cheesier John Wayne films and black hat/white hat westerns, then you won't go wrong with this one.
Now, full disclosure. Typos? Yes, I noticed some. Were they distracting? I didn't think so. I can handle a little slip up every couple dozen pages--no biggie.
Slipping in and out of cowboy lingo? I didn't notice this. Some did--maybe they're native speakers? I dunno. To me, the cowboy language was delightful. Not quite over the top, but just enough to be tastefully cliched. (For the record, there was not a single "giddy'ap" or "yee-ha" or "high-falootin" or "cowabunga" or any of that. It was all quite tasteful.)
I found the main characters fun and distinct. There were a few characters I struggled to keep straight, but they were, like, third tier background characters, so maybe I was just trying too hard.
The story moved quickly and built well, with a good dramatic rise, tense climax, and smooth denouement. Some of the small details of the resolution did feel a pinch forced, but with the type of details that they were, a small push to closure seems the best route, considering that they were legal issues. For Pete's sake, I wouldn't want the sequel to be: "Not all Lawyers are Slimy: Grace in a Small-Claims Court."
But I digress....
So, the five stars. Is it absolutely perfect? No. There are things people could be nit-picky about. But it is five-stars worth of fun. I smiled, I rolled my eyes, I laughed, and I didn't put the book down until the heroes were safe--all in the places the author intended.

4.0 out of 5 stars ... story about a young woman who has endured the worst of hardships
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017

Not All Cowboys are Cruel is a story about a young woman who has endured the worst of hardships. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Grace is forced to do whatever is necessary to allow her father and her to survive, even if that means working for the woman at the saloon. When her offer of work is rejected, Grace doesn't think her life could possibly get any harder. But it does. As she walked back to the handcart where she left her father, she is attacked by three ruffian's. That's when a lone stranger comes to her rescue. The story gets more intriguing as we discover more about the family Grace goes to work for, and as we discover who Matthew really is.

Angelica Hart tells an exciting story of hardships and hero's and how strong one young woman can be. The romance unfolded nicely but I had a difficult time connecting with some of the characters. I couldn't quite grasp the personality of Matthew. He was frequently thinking about Grace, but was still so emotionally connected to his former wife that he actually shed tears, which made the romance with Grace slightly unbelievable. Then there was Clayton, one of those characters that you love to hate. He was just about as evil as a man could be and I could easily envision him. But I loved his mother! She was quite a character and what she had to say near the end of the story was terrific. Not All Cowboys are Cruel had a nice ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not all Cowboy's are Cruel...or are they?
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017

I am not a professional when it comes to writing book reviews and that will likely be evident here. I simply enjoy reading to escape reality. However, my reality escapes are almost exclusively to the horror world. I didn't think I would ever say that I would be writing a review on a Western book with cowboys, outlaws, horses, LITERAL cows, a sweet damsel and a rugged hero with a bit of romance mixed in unless there were zombies chewing on one or all of the above mentioned items. Yet here I am and I am glad! This book was a quick read but it ended up being perfect for this story. I am not usually a fan of a helpless female lead that needs a man to save her but Grace isn't helpless. She has lost essentially everything in life down to her shoes, with the exception her sick, elderly father. She is doing everything she can to survive out in the West. Or more importantly, help her father survive. She isn't afraid to get dirty or break a nail while she fights life as it fights back. One thing leads to another (that's for you to read!) and enter mysterious Cowboy and skeezy outlaws. I didn't realize a Western Romance could have twist, turns and be a page turner. I'm glad I was wrong! This was a very well written book for a genre that I haven't appreciated or given a chance in the past. I look forward to more work by this author. If you aren't sure if this is something you would enjoy, I definitely recommend giving it a try like I did. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

2.0 out of 5 stars Positively Mediocre

To say it was a boring read wouldn't really be fair. Predictable, shallow, and unimaginative perhaps, but somewhat amusing if you have nothing better to do.
