Denise Hunter's latest novel, A Cowboy's Touch has just been published by Thomas Nelson. The setting is Montana at a ranch owned by widowed cowboy, Wade Ryan. There are secrets he is keeping and investigative reporter Abigail Jones is determined to find the answers. She is in Montana for the summer to spend time with her elderly aunt and get away from the stress of her job in Chicago. Somehow she finds herself as Wade's daughter's nanny for the summer, and her life slowly becomes entangled with theirs. Wade has fears of letting another woman into his life, fears of letting someone down again and guilt over his wife's death. Abigail has fallen away from God and immersed herself into her career, but the longer she stays in Montana, the less important her career seems to be. She reflects back to how an incident in her childhood affected her career choice and her pursuit of the truth. She must decide in the end if people are more important than her latest article.
I LOVED this book! I don't know how Denise Hunter makes the characters come alive for the reader. I couldn't put the book down! I felt like I was living in Montana for the summer and was friends with the people of Moose Creek. I can't wait for her next book!!!!!
