Back in
the Saddle by Ruth Logan Herne is a contemporary fiction novel. It follows main
character, Colt Stafford, who was once a business tycoon on Wall Street. Colt
loses his job on Wall Street and returns home to Washington State. He has not
seen his father in years and doesn’t know what to expect when he returns home. There
he meets his father’s house keeper, Angelina, who seems to be hiding her own
secrets too. Her mysteriousness causes Colt to find out what she’s about.
I
typically don’t read these types of novels. I’m not a big contemporary fan, but
I decided to give it a try and read something different. It was a bit slow in
the beginning, but then it started to pick up. I really enjoyed reading about
both, Colt and Angelina. It’s a nice
light read to pick up on a weekend. It took me a little over a weekend to read
this because it was kind of slow for me in the beginning. It took me a little
while to really get into the story. But if you enjoyed this genre, I think you
would have no problem with this book and you would fly through it.
Overall
I give this book three out of five stars. It’s not my favorite genre, but
nonetheless it was a good book and I recommend it for anyone that enjoys a good
contemporary novel. If you like western romances, you will definitely like this
book.
