4.5

"Love Letters from a Cowboy" is the story of Ryan and Ashley, with whom he has been in love with all his love, even after, over a decade ago, she left to join the U.S marines. Ryan promised he'd write a letter for each week she was away, and he kept his promise all these years later, but once she returns, a wounded amputee, he realises it will be harder to win her love than he expected.

I really enjoyed this. A light, but clean, romantic, read. I loved how Ryan was such a developed character, and how he'd given up so much to be a good man and a helpful person to those around him, without never giving up on his personality. Really, one of the better romantic novel heroes I've ever read! Very much himself.

Ashley was great too, a hard girl, who shows you can still be one though cookie and still be soft on the inside; she proved that you don't have to be the girliest girl, to still be a serious woman, hardworking and upstanding. 

Honestly, I commend this book on the characters!

I had read another of Williams' book and decided to read another; she writes some very sweet, open-hearted, and clean romance that is a nice change of pace within the romance genre.

I did like her use of having Ryan write letters to express his emotions over the years, as the pacing and book-length felt more as it was written with a novella in mind, it allowed the reader to get a gauge of his emotions and character as Ashley is the prominent voice as she's trying to figure out her place in this situation of being an amputees veteran who has come home to find that everything has changed except for the cowboy who's always loved her.
