Unmasking a Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abby has a secret the whole town is about to find out about. Her ancestor just happens to be the villain in all the stories of the town’s founding. Joe has spent the last several years delving into the history of Herd and feels like he has a good handle on what happened all those years ago, but he is missing something. He does not like Abby from the moment he meets her. There is a vibe that she is not being completely honest about who she is. When Joe is proven right in that Abby was in fact hiding who she truly was, is it too late to get her side of the story? Has his animosity toward her pushed her too far? Will she stick it out in Herd and prove that she is more than her ancestor’s mistakes?

I enjoyed this story. The characters in Herd depict small town living at its best and worst. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and they are loyal to a fault. However, betray that trust and instantly a person can be shut out. I found Abby learning the hard way, because she never stuck around long enough anywhere to have to fight for her right to stay, to be inspiring. I appreciated the way that Joe found his victory to be hollow and needed to reevaluate himself to find that he was at fault and also culpable in how the town responded. Of course, it would have been nice if he had realized it sooner, but then there wouldn’t be this fun book to read! I will miss reading about Herd, Montana and secretly hope that there are more books!!
