Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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.
Trace Blackthorne was taught from the cradle to take what he wanted. And he wanted Callie Creed. Eleven years ago, the feud between their families had torn them apart. 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.

Setting: Present-day Texas
Sensuality Rated by buyers 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 very 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

Okay, let me just say, if you don't have time to read, don't even open up this book. Why, because you won't be able to put it down!!!
I love Joan Johnston's books, and this one was no exception. Right from the very very first page, I was hooked and every page after, right to the very last.
I zipped though this book in only a few short days, and I'm not a fast reader and have three young kids, work part time, etc., otherwise I probably could have read it in an even shorter amount of time.
I had a very hard time doing anything after I started this book. I could not stop thinking about it and the heart gripping characters.
Wow, now I have to run out and buy the others from this series. I can't wait to read about the other characters stories.

This is the very 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.

Loved the ranch/cowboy setting. Lots of turmoil between the hero & heroine. First time reading something from this author and I really enjoyed it. Not too much descriptive language but an entertaining easy read.

The Cowboy is a very on the edge of your seat book. It is about Trace Blackthorne and Callie Creed. Their families have been rivals for a very very long time dating all the way back to Callie's great, great, grandfather. Callie and Trace were secretly lovers once, but after highschool Trace left and Callie remarried. After eleven years Trace returns and trys to get Callie to fall back in love with him. The Cowboy is a book with exciting adventure and romance.You can't put this book down after you read it.
