Doctors are by nature nurturing and Samantha's caring nature led her to volunteer at a women's shelter in Texas. But things went bad and Sam was now in Marietta starting over. Strange how life seems to repeat itself. Sam is still having issues with her experience in Texas. It has made her gun shy with men and so she creates fake boyfriends as an easy way out of having to possibly be asked to date.

But Dylan Gallagher saw through that façade rather quickly. He liked Sam a lot and initially had to reconcile those feelings with himself.

THE COWBOY AND THE DOCTOR is part of the Gallaghers of Montana series and Eve Gaddy went full speed ahead into the scary psychotic world of wife abusers. Men who see no problem with using their wives as human punching bags -- basically beating these women into submission.

Sam had witnessed quite a few harsh cases where although enduring brutal beatings the odds were against these women actually asking for or acquiring successful separations. In many cases the wives were either killed or if they dared speak to authorities they had to become scarce. Run away -- adopt new identities. Sam had helped many and now it seems there is a likelihood that someone from her past has found her and is out for revenge. But now Sam has a wonderful support group of friends and if she would consider it -- Dylan -- who would like to be more than just a friend. There's no way any harm is going to happen to Sam. But keeping one step ahead of someone out for revenge with no conscious is starting to affect this rather quiet town.

There are many stars in this fast paced story including some furry four footed ones that have the ability to steal the thunder from their beloved two footed owners. To adopt a phrase: from zero to hero. These animals have had a rough past and have now found their person or people. Heaven help anyone who comes between them.

Read THE COWBOY AND THE DOCTOR and be prepared to laugh and gasp. Eve Gaddy once again reminds us why the Gallagher clan is unique and why she is such a beloved author. Trust me that Eve Gaddy does not treat this issue lightly but she keeps the faith. Hopefully at the end of the day there should be some freedom from the cycle of abuse. And of course essentially THE COWBOY AND THE DOCTOR is a story about finding romance and love. Love should always win in the end.
