About The Trouble with Cowboys:
Only one pair of boots-and the cowboy wearing them-can get Annie out of the mess she's in. ""
Annie Wilkerson is Moose Creek's premiere horse trainer and equine columnist for "Montana Living." Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister through college and provide for her young nephew.
When Annie's column is cancelled, she's given first shot at a new lovelorn column-and she can't afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie's never been in love.
Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal with the town's smooth-talking ladies' man Dylan Taylor: She'll work with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he'll help her answer the reader letters.
Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her heart safe for years. And she can't risk getting hurt now.
The more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister's antics are making life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to turn the reins over to God, but surrender has never come easily.
When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn't know what to trust-her head or her heart.
The trouble with "this" cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs.
My Review:
5 STARS
Nothing feels worse that rushing to a conclusion about
someone based off of an old experience and then finding out that not only were
you wrong and misjudged that person but you wasted a lot of your time with a
wrong opinion. I feel like that is what
exactly happens with Annie Wilkerson from The Trouble with Cowboys! She had a
bad experience with cowboys in her past and then comes to this irrational
conclusion that all cowboys are trouble!
She thinks she knows what Dylan the cowboy is all about and boy does he
get on her last nerves. Even more
frustrating than that is that she can’t stop this growing attraction to him and
she is determined to NEVER date a cowboy!!
Isn’t it funny how God will seemingly make a joke out of one
of our biggest judgments? I love how
because Annie doesn’t want anything to do with a cowboy so God says I’m going
to put cowboys all around you and make your daily life include a cowboy! I
found that a really funny aspect of the story because so often it does seem
like God does those kinds of things.
My favorite character in the story is Dylan. He sounds like a handsome and confident
cowboy just like Annie fears. However
beneath the surface is this sweet, caring family guy that is just trying to protect
his heart. Annie on the other hand was
not as enjoyable as a character. She’s a
bit stubborn in her stereotypes of cowboys and way too controlling.
The best part of The Trouble with Cowboys has got to be the
dialogue between Annie and Dylan. Their
banter and flirting is just hilarious and kept me smiling throughout the entire
book. I also love the forbidden romance
idea to it and the secondary store going on with Annie’s sister!! Lots of
things to keep ya entertained!
If you have not gotten the chance to read anything by Denise
Hunter you need to change that and I say starting with The Trouble with Cowboys
is a great start! This is a third book
in a series but I believe it stands on its own great and it is by far my
favorite of the three.
I received this book free from the Litfuse Publicity Tours
in exchange for my personal and honest opinion.

ReplyDeleteAnd the lesson about preconceived ideas--God's taught me that many times. Hopefully I'll learn it for good and can move on to a new lesson. :D
