Welcome to the blog tour for Denise Hunter’s latest release, The Trouble with Cowboys. The author is hosting a Facebook party tonight! Don’t miss it! (See below for more information.)
Here’s the summary:
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.
And now, my review:
I’ve enjoyed all of the cowboy novels in the Big Sky Romance
series. Denise’s books have that certain element that keeps me coming back for
more and enjoying every minute. She has a way with romance. These characters
were sparking off each other from the beginning, sharing great chemistry.
The hero is afraid. Denise used symbolism in the story by
giving the hero a skittish horse the heroine must come help. The heroine herself
needs help writing articles to the lovelorn who write in for advice. That
forces these two together to get along and be successful. Her career depends on
it. His horse’s health depends on it.
I loved the hero’s way with babies. Instead of being incapable
and clueless, this cowboy knows exactly how to help with his nephew.
Denise’s use of letters at the beginning of the chapters was
a great reflection of the story’s elements—complete with a bit of humor and
some insight. Loved that!
Her prose deserved a few highlights in my Kindle as I read.
Check this out:
Besides, getting him
to pay up last time had been like collecting pollen from the wind.
And:
He extended his hand…
Then his hand closed over hers and she felt the same shiver run through her as last
time, and no matter what she told herself, she knew she’d just signed up for
all kinds of trouble.
And:
His eyes softened and
the world whittled down to the two of them. His smile was a table set for two,
complete with flickering candles.
Over all, a great read. Sad to see this series end, but
always looking forward to Denise’s next book!
