Description
“A lovingly written modern-day fairy tale with complex characters and a well-earned, satisfying ending.” - Kirkus Reviews
From New York Times bestseller Victoria James comes a poignant and heartfelt romance that wraps you in a warm embrace...
Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore he’d never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembers––from the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he can’t seem to stay away.
Lainey’s late grandma left her two things: the family diner and a deep-seated mistrust of cowboys. So when Tyler quietly rides back into town looking better than hot apple pie, she knows she’s in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and she’s determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town...and part of a family.
Lainey’s courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home again—together. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.

Wishing River, Montana – The Present
Tyler Donnelly walks into Tilly’s Diner for a cup of coffee after an eight-year absence and draws too much attention. Unfriendly reaction comes from his former best friend, Dean, now Doctor Stanton, who is also in the diner. Dean had contacted him about his patient, Tyler’s father, telling him Martin had suffered a stroke. Friends from the community have taken care of Martin out on his ranch. Even the very attractive young woman running the diner, Tilly’s granddaughter, Lainey, brings Martin dinner every night. Many in the community obviously hold Tyler at fault for leaving without a word to anyone. Tyler knows his father and the ranch are now his responsibility. Even so, his bedridden father continues to ignore him. The argument which led to Tyler’s departure still stands between them and what his father said still haunts him. More surprises await Tyler. Many acres of the ranch have been sold off, and the ranch is in economic peril. Another best friend, Cade, is now the ranch’s foreman. Cade also holds him in contempt. Tyler remains determined to stay and rebuild the ranch as his father once wanted.
Lainey now owns the diner. Her grandmother had raised her after Lainey’s mother abandoned her, and her grandmother’s death still affects her. She has dreams of going to an art school in Italy. She had been accepted, but first Tilly’s death and then other unexpected obligations thwarted her going. At first, she is doubtful about Tyler. Unlike her, he abandoned his obligations, but she is willing to give him a chance at redemption and even helps him. Her attraction at a very physical level to the very handsome cowboy disturbs her.
Despite their intense mutual attraction, the past luggage both Tyler and Lainey bear puts a future together at seemingly insurmountable odds. Yet Lainey continues to help Ty with ideas for the ranch and in changing his friends’ attitudes. THE TROUBLE WITH COWBOYS is full of great characters overcoming conflicts. It has a strong message about acceptance and love, making it a very satisfying read.

Lori A, Reviewer
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the story of Tyler “The Prodigal Cowboy” and his return to Wishing River. Tyler has to get over a lot of huddles from his past that caused him to abruptly leave town for 8 years. He has fences to mend on the ranch, with his father and with his best friends Dean and Cade.
Lainey is a strong independent woman that has been infatuated with Tyler since high school. She can’t help falling in love with this cowboy despite the warning Grandma Tilley always gave her about Cowboys being nothing but trouble.
Victoria James wrote a wonderful book with just enough heat. I like the fact that she gave Lainey such high morals and brought the topic of church and beliefs into the story without making it too “preachy”.
