Book Review: The Trouble With Cowboys by Denise Hunter


Annie Wilkerson has her life pretty well figured out. She is intelligent and responsible, and she knows what she wants and where she is going in life. Or so she thinks.

We learn as the book progresses that Annie has an idealistic view of how her life should be, and what her little sister should do with her life. The problem is that Annie doesn’t consider what her sister wants, and she won’t allow herself to have what she really wants. The one thing she knows is that she does not approve of cowboys.

Dylan Taylor is a cowboy, but he’s also exactly what Annie needs. She just has to figure how to let herself be in love and let go of prejudice.

The Trouble With Cowboys is a good read. Anyone who has been in a situation where they are afraid to be in love and trust God to bring the right person into their life can connect with Annie’s inner conflicts. After I got about a third of the way into the book I had a hard time setting it down until I finished. The only negative things I have to say are that it was somewhat predictable, and the extent of Annie’s prejudice was a little overdone. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. The characters are realistic in that they have made mistakes in their past, yet they are striving to obey God and do better.

This is a great book if you want an easy and entertaining read. It does contain some adult content, and although not at all offensive or graphic I wouldn’t recommend it for younger readers.
