In Lost Rider, the first Western romance in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Harper Sloan’s Coming Home series, an injured rodeo star encounters an old flame but will she be just what he needs to get back in the saddle?
Maverick Austin Davis is forced to return home after a ten-year career as a rodeo star. After one too many head injuries, he’s off the circuit and in the horse farming business, something he’s never taken much of a shine to, but now that it’s his late father’s legacy, familial duty calls. How will Maverick find his way after the only dream he ever had for himself is over?
Enter Leighton Elizabeth James, an ugly duckling turned beauty from Maverick’s childhood—his younger sister’s best friend, to be exact, and someone whose heart he stomped all over when she confessed her crush to him ten years back. Now Leighton is back in Maverick’s life, no longer the insecure, love-stricken teen—and Maverick can’t help but take notice. Sparks fly between them, but will Leighton be able to open her heart to the one man who broke it all those years ago?
Written in the vein of Diana Palmer and Lindsay McKenna, this Texas-set series is filled with sizzle, heart, and plenty of cowboys!

*********MY REVIEW*******
Lost Rider is the 1st book in the new
series called Coming Home by the amazing author Harper Sloan.
Lost Rider had me
going thru multiple different emotions:: Hope. Anger. Angst. Peace. Forgiveness. And
Most of All- Love. That is the theme that runs as a current thru this book. No
matter what is going on, love is running throughout.
The main characters in
this book are Maverick Davis & Leighton
James. Maverick left Leighton 10 years before when they were
teenagers, with plans to never come back. Now he is coming home, after too
many concussions have taken him off the Rodeo circuit. Maverick has come
home to his father’s death and to Leighton hating him. He didn’t remember
her looking as sexy as she does now. She was once the only person he
could talk to about anything, was one the only person he could share things
with and now she doesn't even want to speak to him. WOW Times change. Maverick is
determined to make Leighton talk to him ,to see him again but he doesn’t realize
the depth of her despair and of her pain which means Maverick has a tough road
ahead of him in proving to Leighton that he is home and he is back in her life.
Leighton is a woman who has had a hard road in life. She had this huge
love for Maverick which he threw away when she was but 18 years old. It was
done in a pretty cruel manner. She has had to grow up, and find her own dreams without
the man she loved with her of her heart. When he left her, she was broken, and
bruised. Her dreams didn’t come easy and her life didn’t come without fights
but she is where she is now in life, by the drive she had to prove something
and that was she could be something without him in her life and she is somewhat
happy- she has her bakery and she has Maverick’s sister and brother (Quinn
and Clay ) in her life as good friends. She doesn’t want him back in town, she doesn’t
want him yet a part of her is happy he is back in town yet she fights those
feelings.
There are deep and lacerating
wounds that have to be healed before they can fully be together and not
everything can be avoided which is what this story focuses on. That and what
family really is. It’s a story about family and rediscovering those roots and
making up for those you hurt. That is what this story also focuses on. Maverick
and Leighton’s story will have you grabbing for tissues and rooting for their
HEA. Their passion is deep and their love is one heck of a 2nd
chance love story. It is so beautiful and the plot is fantastic, but it is
written by Harper Sloan so yes, you will get that awesome plot, that beautifully
written story. I look forward to reading the stories of Clay and Quinn.
My rating: 4.9 stars ****
