BOOK REVIEW- THE COWBOY WHO CAME CALLING (Texas Heroes) by Linda Broday

A Former Texas Ranger on a mission
A determined woman slowly losing her sight
A love neither could have predicted
...and a danger that may steal their happy ending before it can even begin.

Glory Day may be losing her vision, but that doesn't mean she'll ever stop fighting. Determined to provide for her struggling family, she confronts an outlaw with a price on his head. But when a mysterious cowboy gets between her and her target, Glory accidentally shoots him instead. Flustered, she has no option but to take the handsome stranger home to treat his wounds.

Former Texas Ranger Luke McClain didn't plan to fall in love, but there's no denying the strength of Glory's will or the sweetness of her heart. But Glory's been burned before, and Luke will have to reach into the depths of his own battered soul to convince her to take a chance...

And trust that love is worth fighting for.   AMAZON 3.5 STARS

I liked the main characters of this book and the whole Day family made for an interesting foundation of the story.  They had so much on their plate and it all landed on Glory.  She had to take the place and work as both mother and father, provider and it all got pretty heavy.  Oh, and she also was a sister to both Hope and Patience who were younger.  Hope  helped out a lot but Patience was even younger and Patience did what she could but she was much younger and was quite the character. If ever a child was misnamed it probably would have been her.  She had a big heart but an even bigger mouth when it came to spreading family news.  And always she embellished it because she was pretty dramatic.  Still, it was easy  to like her and she grabbed a hold of Luke pretty quickly.  It didn't take long for hero worship to come to her eyes.  Well, he did take the time to be kind to her and he listened to her too.  

I will say that I gave the book a slightly lower rating because of the pace of the book.  It started out pretty slow and went on that way for quite a while.  I understand about getting to know the people in the book but still for me it was kind of slow.  I am glad that I continued though because when the action started to gear up, it got pretty good. 

The story was also emotional in so many ways too.  The town's rejection and humiliation that they heaped on the Day family was so cruel.  There were a very few though that did try to help them.   I would like to add that the child-man Horace was a good addition to the story as well.  He had some wisdom hidden in him.  But his life hasn't been a bowl full of cherries either.  
I had mixed feelings about some of the endings of the book but I'm not going to spoil it for following readers by saying why.
