My Book Summary : Annie grew up believing that cowboys never commit no matter what. Now, years later, she still believes that and she's trying everything to stick to her beliefs, even if that means staying away from Dylan, a charming and friendly flirt of a cowboy. However, when Dylan's horse, Braveheart, starts becoming blind Annie, who happens to be a talented horse trainer, is hard pressed to keep staying away from Dylan even if she feels bad for his horse, but it's hard to keep her promise to herself in the face of Braveheart's suffering. Therefore, when Annie finds out that the magazine column she writes is getting an overhaul and now she has to write a "lovelorn" column she decides to make a trade---she'll help out Braveheart if Dylan, Mr. Romance himself, will help her with her column. Yet will there time together prove to Annie her earlier beliefs about cowboys or will she be proven wrong and happen to fall for Dylan herself?
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, this is a heartwarming novel about two people working through their pasts and hoping for better futures. Not what I originally expected when I picked this novel to read however, I loved the plot and the way everything flowed from beginning to end. Plus, Dylan seems like a cutie and kept me entertained.
Nevertheless, I wish I could have liked Annie more but she was so reserved in the beginning of the novel and seemed to push her views onto everyone. If she changed her views a bit sooner within the novel I think it might have turned out a bit better for me.
With that being said, I would still recommend this novel to fans of Denise Hunter and her Big Sky Series. Also to anyone who enjoys Christian romance novels.

Book Teaser(s) :
"You're despicable."
"Am I?"
Her face grew warm. Just the image of him doing all those things to her...
She swallowed hard. "I was about to tell you I'd put in extra hours with Braveheart this week, but you're making me seriously reconsider that benevolent gesture."
"Except you'd never turn your back on a wounded creature just to spite his incorrigible owner."
"I'm sorely tempted." ~ within Chapter 12
He looked up from the letter, smiling. "Cute."For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Denise, then please check out her website.
"So..." Annie's hands trembled in her lap, and she pressed them together. "What do you think she should do?"
"Remorseful in Moose Creek?"
She nodded.
He wanted to say all was forgiven, especially when she bit her lower lip. Her full lower lip, just the right shade of pink, and as ripe as a huckleberry in late August.
"They should probably kiss and make up," he said.
Annie snorted. But a smile lifted her lips. ~ within Chapter 20
