Cowboy Shep: The Lonely Heroes Series, Book 3 Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 358 ratings

Shepard Smokey Colson -

When a man I revere and his wife are killed in a freak auto accident in Greece, something feels off about the accident. He’d been my savior when I was at my lowest, and if it hadn’t been for Saber, I’d have likely not lived to see the sunrise the day after being dishonorably discharged from the Army. That great man put me on the path toward a new life and saved my old one in the process.

My sense of honor and gratitude push me to go to Georgia to offer support to his son, Parker Howzer, and any assistance I can to help him through his grief. What will it take to repay my debt to Saber? I didn’t anticipate it might take my heart.


Parker Buckley Howzer -

With one phone call, I’m an orphan again, but this time, there is no one to love me through the pain. On top of that, someone is looking for something belonging to my parents that they believe I possess. How can I find it when I don’t even know what to look for?

I didn’t expect Shepard Colson to burst onto the scene like an avenging angel from heaven. He somehow knows I’m in danger and vows to keep me safe, but at what cost to both of us? Whether I’m ready or not, my life as an unknown chef is about to change, but I didn’t anticipate just how much.

This fictional story is approximately 89,000 words in length and ends with a happy for now. It is the third book in the series entitled, “The Lonely Heroes Series.” I hope you enjoy it.

    Plot: As with the first two installments, you’ll find tons of action along with your romance presented to you in well-written form
    Feels: Heart-pounding suspense, the sparks were palpable for Parker and Shep right off the bat, heartbreak
    Drama: A good dose of military/political conspiracy and intrigue
    Heat: 3/5 - more feels in this one
    Characters: Parker isn’t your typical “dude in distress”, though he obviously never watched a procedural or B-horror movie in his life lol; Shep and Parker are just so adorable! Love seeing the full cast of characters make a return to help
    Pacing: Smooth and action-packed
    Length: Shorter than the first two, but it’s what raised the level of this one - a complete story without any extra drama lurking
    Ending: HEA for the couple with a side of “justice” served
    Extra note: Something I’ve noticed since Ranger Hank, is that the writing style seems to simulate a [TV] series screenplay, which is what really makes this series enjoyable for me. If Sam E. Kraemer ever writes regular mystery/suspense/thriller under a pseudonym, I need to know!

    Wow what a captivating story. I got sucked into the drama and excitement of the whole thing. The love is everywhere and I could feel it in every moment. I can’t wait for more

    I feel so bad that Parker lost the most loving parents due to them having honor and integrity. It never ceases to amaze me that some people abuse what power they have in the most heinous ways. Shep is an amazing man with a fantastic family. I loved that he immediately took Parker under his wing and did everything he could to protect him. They definitely built a quick connection, but it was so strong. I am glad they made it through the evil that was thrust I to their laps.

    Things I like in a book are all present here. Good writing style, realistic dialogue, a twisty mystery (bonus) and the technical ability to create a worthwhile read. This series builds on the characters and continues to get better with each book. These 4 stars are hard won, I don't hand them out just by having the guts to publish a book. They are earned because it's a good book.

    Upon meeting Parker the son of Colonel Howzer, Shepard knows Parker’s in danger. The Colonel and his wife’s accidental death in Greece doesn’t make sense. Enjoy the lengths to which Shepard and his friends will go to find the bad guys! It won’t be easy to protect Parker and to strengthen their passionate bond!!!
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021
    I really enjoyed reading this book and anxiously await the next book in the series.
    Shep and Parker have a strange way working a relationship out. Meeting again after so many years. At a very low point for Parker, Shep shows up and becomes his rock and his headache. Good twists and turns.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2021
    MM romance, mystery, military, easy to read , page-turner with twists and threats of danger. Shepard and Parker had only met once before many years ago but when there is a sudden tragic event, Shepard feels the need to contact Parker immediately and help him through the days ahead. It soon becomes clear that Parker is in danger and Shep and his friends/colleagues must find out who is after him and why. Brilliant story with great characters. HEA.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing continuation in the series!
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 7, 2021
    This book is about Shepard and Parker's story and so far it is the best. The plot got me at the edge of my seat the whole time. A wrong to right, a mystery to solve in an ambiance of intrigue and danger was the perfect setting for a romance and two solitaire hearts be together. I enjoyed so much every single page. I can't wait for more on this series!
