Review: Saltwater Cowboy by Christy Barritt

About the Book

He’s trying to forget. She’d give anything to remember.

Officer Levi Sutherland wants to protect the wild horses of Cape Corral and keep the island residents safe. But memories of his deceased wife haunt him at every turn and make him long for a fresh start. When a woman washes ashore with a bullet wound and no memories, Levi knows he can’t leave until he discovers what happened to her.

The woman—whose necklace reads Dani—captures Levi’s attention like no one has in a long time. But which side of the law is she on? Could Dani be mixed up with other mysterious incidents happening on the island?

Together, can the two find answers and create new memories? Or will secrets tear them apart and destroy a future as uncertain as Dani’s past?

My Thoughts

What a great start to a new series. The danger and suspense start right off the bat and barely let up for the rest of the book. I loved that I was able to slowly figure out the mystery as more of the pieces to the puzzle were revealed.

I really liked the island setting of Cape Corral. And while, at first, it might be a bit reminiscent of Barritt's Lantern Beach, it's actually quite different and such a unique place. The residents, the horses, the whole atmosphere really give it so much character and such a strong identity.

I highly recommend Saltwater Cowboy to anyone who's a fan of romantic suspense. I'm excited to visit Cape Corral again in the next book!
