Between The Pages - Finders Keepers, Cowboy

Finders Keepers, Cowboy 
Rachelle Paige Campbell 
March 2024 

Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan. 

After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism, devoting everything to the business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about her.

A surprise discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to choose the potential of ever-after or forget each other and finally move on forever. 

Between The Pages 
This modern-day western romance is a tender love story. The plot has several elements of interest that hold your attention throughout the book. The main characters, Meg and Ryan, make a cute couple, but their indecisiveness becomes a bit tiring. However, the author created an appealing secondary cast from Hank who stole every scene he was in, and workers on the ranch who have story potential, especially if Hank has something to do with it. An enjoyable read.
