Review: The Trouble With Texas Cowboys by Carolyn Brown

Isn't this just the cutest cover ever? I just love covers like this! Just goes to show that you can show a little skin...er...muscles and everything is still sweet and romantic. It just wouldn't be the same without a glimpse at the heroes glorious chest. Anyway...

This is my first taste of Carolyn Brown's work and I'm so sad that I haven't picked up one of her books until now. The Trouble with Texas Cowboys was brilliantly told and was filled with characters that are so well developed that they seem real. I thoroughly enjoyed the humor Brown strategically places throughout the novel making the drama between the feuding families even more dramatic and intriguing. There's just so much to this love story.

Burnt Boot Texas is a very unique place with some of the most interesting people. When Jill Cleary and Sawyer O'Donnell first meet there aren't sparks of lust or romance fluttering about the room. Instead Sawyer's first glimpse of the feisty redhead is the deadly end of her gun. I really enjoyed watching this lovely couple move from strangers to friends to lovers. The difficulties Jill and Sawyer face when dealing with the two feuding families in Burnt Boot is just too funny for words. Jill's use of retail therapy to handle her frustration with the families is priceless. The humor is equally as exciting as the blooming romance between Sawyer and Jill.

If you're like me and haven't given Carolyn's novels a try then do so now. I'm definitely adding Carolyn to my favorite author list and adding her other novels to my to-read list.

Synopsis (per Goodreads)

When Sawyer O'Donnell takes a ranch job on a whim, he lands smack dab in the middle of a Texas-sized feud! The Gallaghers and the Brennans are at each other's throats to woo the red-headed spitfire, Jill Cleary, and stake a claim for the Fiddle Creek Ranch.

Jill makes Sawyer's blood boil. They argue, they banter, but Sawyer soon goes from being driven crazy to crazy in love. Damned if he knows how that happened. But now that it has, how does he compete with two men that can give this cowgirl a lifestyle beyond her wildest dreams?
