Cultural differences create difficulties in Madeline and Rebel’s relationship beyond just medicine man vs. doctor of medicine. However, the attraction between Madeline and Rebel is there from the start and heats up nicely. Don’t miss Mystic Cowboy, and be on the lookout for the next installment in the series.–Library JournalI was hooked on this book from the beginning. Maddie’s big life change was fascinating to read about, and I liked her character quite a bit. However, Rebel steals the show. He is enigmatic, sexy and so perfect for Maddie that I couldn’t put “Mystic Cowboy” down…If you like contemporary stories about Native Americans and/or cowboys, you can’t miss with “Mystic Cowboy.” It is a delight to read, with a sensational blend of suspense, sexiness and romance.—Romance Novel News
