GRR Reviews Catch Me, Cowboy by Jeannie Watt

Catch Me, Cowboy is a contemporary "western" romance that featured sufficient but not overwhelming amount of angst with the "love interrupted" trope.

Champion Bronc Rider Ty Harding went home after his latest injury. He hadn't been home (Marietta, MT) in four years, and the first person he'd really wanted to see was Shelby O'Connor, the woman who begged him to stay... the woman he left behind... the woman he still loved. Shelby was not big on second chances... except to horses. Shelby trains difficult horses, to make them safe for their owners. But Ty's arrival turned her world upside down, as she realized she's not as over him as she thought. But when Ty decided to head back into the ring one more time, as a test for his comeback, Shelby will have to decide...

The characters are sufficiently angst-y as they want mutually exclusive things, and basically, one side will have to cave, and the idea that woman can't abide man in dangerous professions was hardly anything new (often pops up in police or military romances) but the resolution is still just trope.
