Review: Lucky Break

Lucky Break by A.M. Arthur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is Shawn's (he is the 2nd cook at the saloon in Bently Ghost Town) and Robin (one of the ranch's cowboys).  Shawn had a Bad Thing happen when he was 15 that ostracized him from his small town.  He left when he was 18.  He worked and continued to send money home to his retired grandparents to help pay for his grandmother's health issues (to the point he lived in his car for 2 years).  His parents are both dead.  Robin's husband died  unexpectedly and Robin blames himself.  He ran away from his job (at a traveling rodeo) and was saved by Arthur and Judson, starting over at Clean Slate.   

Both are attracted to each other and their relationship starts out slowly.  It takes time for them to open up to each other (d/t issues with their pasts).  We get appearances from the previous couple and characters from the previous books and see where they are at in their lives/relationships.  Derrick (and Slater) who has an upcoming book has a small amount of page time in this one.  Levi is introduced (Robin's former brother-in-law).  I really enjoyed this.
