Product Description

Sensuality Rating: 7
The Blackthornes and the Creeds had been at war for generations, and when Trace Blackthorne and Callie Creed fell in love as college students, the hostilities didn't stop. Family loyalty eventually drove the two young lovers apart; Trace disappeared from their small Texas town while Callie married her father's foreman, bore two children, and became a young widow. It isn't until Trace's father has a heart attack that he returns to Texas and comes looking for Callie, the one woman he's never been able to forget. But although Callie has never stopped loving Trace, she harbors a secret that could destroy any chance of a future with him.
Just when it seems that the two lovers may work out a solution, tragedy strikes the Creeds. Once again their family problems may be a direct result of the bitter feud with the Blackthornes that has so badly damaged the family in the past. And this time, the stunning truth may drive Trace and Callie apart forever.
With The Cowboy, Johnston has concocted a compelling story of jealousy and greed, passion and hate, combined it with an intriguing look at the world of cutting horse competition, and set the tale against the backdrop of working Texas ranches. Readers will be delighted to know that The Cowboy is only the first in a trilogy about the Blackthornes and Creeds that will soon be continued in The Lone Wolf, the story of Owen Blackthorne and Bayleigh Creed. --Lois Faye Dyer

The "Bitter Creek" Series....Off To A Great Start,
By
This review is from: The Cowboy (Mass Market Paperback)
This review refers to "The Cowboy" by Joan Johnston....After being transported to another time and place by Joan Johnston in the Sisters of the Lone Star Triology("Frontier Woman","Comanche Woman" and "Texas Woman"), I couldn't wait to read about their descendants in the Bitter Creek Series. The first of the series is "The Cowboy". The Creeds and the Blackthornes have been feuding for well over a century. When Callie Creed and Trace Blackthorne, fell in love,they could not even share their happiness with their families. They could only hope that someday things would get better. But things couldn't have gotten any worse. A horrible accident has fueled the fire between the families and Trace and Callie must make a choice.Their love was great, but so was Callie's devotion to her family and sense of obligation to "Three Oaks", the family ranch. There were no words Trace could use to hold onto the woman he loved. For more than a decade, Trace was not to be seen or heard from. His whereabouts were a mystery, but when another near tragedy occurs, he comes home to "Bitter Creek" and back into Callie's life once more. Things haven't changed between the families though,the hatred has built up even more,but Trace's love for Callie has never died and he will do whatever it takes to win her back, and in the process touches the lives of all those around him.Will their love be strong enough to reunite them despite all the complications? "The Cowboy", now set in modern day Texas, still has the sense of wildness and adventure that we saw in the Lone Star series. Immerse yourself in this great romance...and enjoy....Laurie

the cowboy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cowboy (Mass Market Paperback)
Once I started I couldnt put it down and finished it in one evening. All of the characters in the book were great. Since I have been around cutting horses for 20 years I enjoyed the whole book. Its especially nice when an author does research and is accurate.

There's a TRACE left on my mind,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cowboy (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down. Even snuck into the ladies room at work to read a few chapters....This book was both entertaining and arousing (have you read any of Carly Phillips books?)to a great degree. I'm not a huge reader of romance novels but i've tracked down the 2nd/3rd books in the series and i hope i'm not disappointed. The only thing i didn't like was where the chapter would be going along with a few characters and then jump into another "scene" or dialog without acknowledging the transition. BUT it didn't stop me from turning the pages....
