The Cowboy and the Kid by Anne McAllister

Becky’s not so sure but if she has to have a step-mother, she wants to pick her out.īecky and Susannah work together to consider and choose the perfect woman – though there aren’t many to choose from in their small Montana town.

Becky’s friend – and Noah’s daughter – Susannah got her parents together and is convinced that’s what Taggart Jones wants. From her child POV, her dad seems to be pining for what his bronc riding friend Noah has, a happy marriage. Now he’s retired and they’re still fine but Becky has noticed things. It’s been just Becky and her father for years since Becky’s mom walked out on them when Becky was a baby but they’ve done just fine with Becky “looking out for” her bull riding dad. The introduction here is cuter than a pile of puppies with artwork, school programs and letters of Becky Jones, our hero’s daughter. Answer is I did but with some reservations. When I saw this reissue from 1996 listed at Netgalley I wondered how I would like a non-Presents book of yours. Years ago I read one of your “Presents” books “One Night Love Child,” because you came highly recommended by a reader friend. What’s a daughter to do? Becky’s nothing if not ingenious, and she’s determined to convince a stubborn Taggart and a bemused Felicity that they really have met their match. Not even if Becky’s dream candidate is her beautiful, blonde teacher, Felicity Albright, who knows about barrettes, patching up scrapes, and hates carrots as much as his daughter. Ex-rodeo cowboy Taggart Jones is adamant.
