This modern day Romeo and Juliet story will transport you to the wide open prairies of Texas. I couldn't put down this tragic love story of the Blackthornes and Creeds. The rough and rugged Trace Blackthorne comes back to win over his lost love Callie Creed. The two lovers were separated by the feuding families. After meeting in college, Callie and Trace hoped to grow old together, only to find that their families would never allow it. Callie walked out on Trace and returned home to help her family and their failing ranch of Three Oaks. Trace disappeared for eleven years and then returned to capture the love they once had.
Joan Johnston does a wonderful job of bringing these two star crossed lover to life. Each character has a very distinct personality. The dialogue and experiences these two share together make them seem so real. You will find yourself immersed in a feeling of emotions. Your mind and heart will be sending two very different messages.
This novel grabs you from the very beginning. The prologue gives you a glimpse of the century-old feud. As you read on you will find there is much more hiding beyond the facade of these two ranching families. The twists and turns of this thrilling love story will keep you guessing and urging the story to continue. You will find yourself reading fast, as to reach the conclusion. Then you will be heart broken to find that you've come to the end. Never wanting to put it down, The Cowboy hooks you and keeps you wanting more.

THE COWBOY

This is the first Joan Johnston book I have read. I really enjoyed the story!!!! I couldn't put the book down. I am now reading the Texan and just ordered The Loner. So far it is a great trilogy of love, romance, conflicts and loss. Great Summer reads.

Joan Johnston transports us to rugged present-day Texas?a place of wide-open prairies and unbridled ambitions?where two ranching families, the Blackthornes and the Creeds, are locked in a bitter century-old feud. Here, Johnston brings to life a breathtaking love story?between the Blackthornes' oldest son and the Creeds' beautiful daughter?a magnificent novel of passion, vengeance, and star-crossed love.

But now Trace has come home, a ruthless hard-eyed stranger, making her an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and save her struggling family from financial ruin. But the secrets of the past return to haunt them. And Callie is once again compelled to make an impossible choice?between the family who desperately needs her and the only man she has ever loved.
